Whipple and Resale Value

[zpduff]

This thread is definitely leaning me towards buying a kit on black Friday and installing myself

I listed my whipple, 24gt for sale a few weeks ago at 55K…

so far just spammers and people trying to trade other unwanted vehicles etc…

At some point it’s “cheaper to keeper”

Are you planning on getting something else instead of the Mustang?

Just buy a bunch of super snake emblems when you whipple it!

Lol. That would be a no

I feel bad for car salesman. Think it would be a terrible way to make a living

I spent 20 years in the car business and I retired at 45. I don’t know it was good to me.

I seriously want a 26 ZR1… I don’t even need the X… the rwd version would be fine, possibly a McLaren 720 or even a huracan.

i have to make a few moves to get there though, the 24, I need to sell my foxbody etc..

Totally fine with keeping it, that may work out also, another year or 2 and the ZR1s start coming for sale used … I’d be fine with that.

200k + 200k dealer markup? That's quite a leap from a mustang! Those vettes aren't going to depreciate a penny.

For you older readers/members, remember the company J.C. Whitney?
Things haven't changed, only the prices!

J.C. Whitney!!! Ha. I used to go there when it was still Warshawsky in Chicago on State & Archer Avenue. Remember buying some leaf springs there and they gave me 2 different ones, was walking around a giant warehouse with a guy looking for the matching.
Good memories there.
Then they moved (and was called J.C. Whitney) and used to go there on the motorcycles with my dad (miss you dad).

Chevy guys act like I’ll be able to walk into a dealership and order one msrp after the initial hype dies off.

I want a base model 0 options.

In the case of modifying a car, resale value should be the last thing to worry about. People are subjective to mods and personally I’m not a fan of buying pre-owned modified cars. Too many horror stories. IMO they don’t command a significant premium to their stock counterpart. You could probably get a respectable number on bat or marketplace but a dealer will give you maybe 3k (hard maybe) over a comparable stock version of your car.

At the right dealership (high volume with honorable sales people) yes. But finding that dealership will be a mission for sure lol

Anything about the S650 mustang you didn't like?
Or just an itch for more/next best thing?

Planning on having a whipple kit installed this winter, most likely by Lebanon Ford in Cincinnati. Good chance in 6 or 7 years I'll want to sell mustang for something newer. What is everybody's opinion on resale? Get none of it back, some, most? Car will have relatively low miles and be in good condition. Thanks

Just keeping all original parts for faster resale

I'd avoid a hopped up used car like the plague. It MAY have been well treated, but there is no way to know that, and I would not take the chance, regardless of price.
If you go into it without worrying about resale, and to just enjoy the car, have at it.
