    I would keep it as is and list those mods. Someone looking for an rs7 probably would want those mods included and you can hike the price up a bit. I would try to sell it as is personally. If a person really doesn't want to have those mods on the car they can just remove them

    Thanks guys, yeah I am leaning toward removing mods and selling it stock, it just lots of work to bring it back to stock, I haven't valued parts honestly but I think car modifications never give more value to the car

    i'd say if you try to sell it on here leave mods anywhere else dump them. never get your money out of them plus some people would rather see a stock car

    Seems like tasteful mods. You will likely get the same amount of money for the car (or not much more) with the aftermarket wheels and lowering module, versus selling the car with OEM wheels and no module. You could sell those separately and get a bit more, but also takes more time and effort to sell.

    With it being an older C7, and not knowing the miles, I would try selling it on the forums and to enthusiasts first with all mods. You can always mention you will put it back to stock, if the new buyer wants.

    Haven't really thought about it yet, but KBB suggests for 55k miles around $54k so I think maybe list at $49k, having every possible mod available at the time, and ill leave radar and laser jammer with the car, let me know if you know anyone interested

    that APR stage2 is no longer available and is a great tune, imo (have it on my s6). something to consider.

    So for reference I paid about 46K for a similar one (stock tho) a few months ago, and ppl seemed to think that was a good deal. Prices seem to be coming down a smidge lately but not as much as some other cars. I'm trying to sell a Range Rover Velar at the moment and it's a struggle.

    I do think with RS7s that smart folks will take into consideration the cost of mods or recent/upcoming service. eg one just sold that had just had new tires and brakes. That's 5K a person wouldn't have to spend. Wheels are very personal and it's 50/50 whether a new owner wants them. There is a decent chance that anything easily removable would fetch you more by selling on the classifieds, if you wanted to spend the time.
