But this isnt what the thread is about.

They have the ability to diminish the value because it can be harder for a dealership to sell a "customized" car however they can also bring the value up because the dealership can sell a "customized" car. I have seen it go both ways. Too many variables come in to play and like you said it isnt what this thread is about
however his argument wasnt about resale value He was simply stating that if part A is basically the same as part B and part C but is more expensive than B and C then part A will probably not sell as well, Simple economics.
