Default Selling with or without mods

I am selling my wrx 04 wagon
My question is should I sell with the 18" alloys which are new , performance exhaust, and lowering springs, or strip it back to standard and lower the price and then sell the parts on there own.
whats your opinion ?

If you still have the original parts and can either change them yourself of can get them changed for minimal outlay, sell the car as standard and sell the parts seperately.

If you have the original wheels, then I might be interested in them. What colour are they, what tyres, condition and do you have any pictures?

Please let me know either way.

If you're lucky you might sell as is but you are banking on finding someone with the same taste as you in mods. This limits your market severely, to everyone else the car is worth less than a standard one by the cost to put it back to standard.
Many potential purchasers would also be put off by the fact that the car has been modified even if you have the standard parts.

Good luck either way.
