I am likely going to be selling or trading in my '04 Silver Birch in the next month or two. I am going to be retiring it from daily driver duty and will be replacing it.

I have am thinking about removing some of the "modifications" if I go the trade-in route because I can't imagine that they will affect the value at a dealer, but they may be of interest to some fellow forum members. If a member of MM.net buys the car, I will leave the mods in place and may have a few "goodies" to throw in to the sale.

Mods I would return to stock:
*Remove the '03 full size spare and replace with original 'donut' spare.
*Remove the OEM headlights and turn signal housings that I protected with XPEL film and put the original hazier ones back (but clean them up a bit).
*Remove the K&N FIPK cold air intake and replace with stock air box.

I also have a set of new-in-box OEM floor mats, a set of new-in-box repro floor mats (from the group buy a few years ago), a spare set of new OEM fog lights.

What does everyone think of my plan (besides being against me getting rid of the Marauder after 8 years)?

returning a car to stock and selling the parts is every day stuff. Go for it, the stealership won't pay more with those parts anyway!

And, after 8 years, it's yours - do what you want!
What are you looking at for a new ride?

If you do trade it, then definitely swap the parts and sell them here. You'll get more and help group members at same time.

I don't think the trade in value for the MM is very high so I say keep it and buy a DD and use the MM for cruise nights, car shows and Sunday drives.
