Higher sell price for tuning.

[☣Valtorde☣]

Do you guys tune the engine of a restoration project. Then sell it for a higher price or is it not worth the effort of buying the tuning parts?

i do it by mood xD if i feel like it i will buy all the parts from tuning (as i am reassembling whole engine anyway) or use just the parts i have, or a mix of both (use what i have and what i dont have buy from tuning shop).

I do use the performance parts when rebuilding vehicles.. A car built using the available performance arts does sell for more and I am making a sizable return. My gut tells me that it is worth doing, but I have not actually costed the difference on any vehicles.

I prefer to use performance parts on rebuilds when I'm trying to sell a car, because it increases the value of the car. I don't know if the increased power increases the value though.

Yes, if you want to maximise your profit, always use all the possible tuning parts. And you should buy the most expensive rims and tires (dominator slicks).

For example: A suprecharged Reptilia R2 (188k km) with tuned parts, rims and tires gives me a nice net profit of 127 000 $, value of car is 184 000 $.

Maximizing your profit with tuning parts doesn't work like in CMS2015. I use only tuning parts if the original part is not repairable, due to its origin or because of its bad state.

As you have to pay for repairing parts at you repair table it make no sense to repair parts to 100% just do sell them afterwards, you nearly get only the money back you spent (for rims you sometimes paid more for the repair rates then you make profit of selling them. Had the case once to pay over 300$ for repairing a rim and got only 65$ back for selling it.
