New buyer

In general, I would take the base value of car, approximate Mod cost, then divide mod cost by 50%. Add that to cost of car.

If they are done correctly and in good taste (most of them are audio, DVD, exhaust, nothing that's going to screw up the car) great. If they are not your taste and you are replacing them...then why look at this car?

Suspension is a tough call too...is that really what you want vs. stock car?

So it all boils down to do you want an already modded car, or a brand new car that you can mod. And are the mods on the car ones you like/need.

I still say go for a new car, the feeling of buying new is second to none imo.

Even with just a few miles, you need to check out the VIN # to make sure it has not been in a wreck or is a lemon. I would not touch it with a 10 foot pole. Plus, you can kiss the warranty goodbye. Plus, if you shop around you can get $3k off the sticker price on a new one (2013) in Dallas, TX.
