I forgot to mention I want to have another stick shift. If I had the money I would for sure lease a C class. I can't afford two cars right now. I have a motorcycle for my second car

Thank you guys again for humoring my anxiety. I appreciate all the feedback
Aftermarket forced induction will send the vast majority of potential buyers running for the hills. Most people will assume it's been beat within an inch of its life. People always have trouble selling highly modded cars for the SAME value as a stock one, much less for a premium. When you bolt a turbo/sc on a car, you pretty much have to accept you've tanked the resale value. If you want to get near the sale price of a stock car, part it out. With the SC on there you're going to take a hit.

Would YOU buy a used sports car that's been modified to produce an extra 50% of the factory rated power? Most people don't want to take on someone else's project.
