Guess I'm just saying I don't know how to price a car that is modded. I can go off KBB or Edmunds, but aren't modded cars worth more?
EDIT: Also basically asking: How do I tell what this car is worth, mods and all? So many mods looking up each and every one would take a LONG time..

no modded cars ussually arent worth more in most cases...mods don't add to the value IMO..it only tells me the car has been beat etc.. I prefer to do my own mods and not buy someone elses mistakes and not know if everything was done correct etc.. Im a picky guy though, very picky.

I don't drive in snow--not much rain either,but I leave it on all the time unless I am gonna get on it for awhile..in rain,it is great in my experience.saves you from spinning and sliding around corners.I would get the car with the most options...
The last time I left it on (forgot) I finally lined up at a light with an Evo and my car was seriously lagging. This was back when my car was stock. At the end of 3rd I had 1.5 cars and started to pull more.
I didn't realize till after the race that the tc was on and I'd have done a bit better.
It has never once helped me.

forgive me , but where is the traction control button/ switch ? i find that when i do a burn out or i drop the m6 to a lower gear in " high RPM situations" , the "low Trac" light comes on. Problem is , i do not know where the Switch is ( or if my car even has the traction control option)

if you have it you woudl know, its a little grey switch next to the cigerrete lighter that says "TCS" on it, if you have a hole there you dont have traction control.
or if you have a camaro..i beleve its called acs..i tihnk, and i tihnk its located near the headlight controls.

hi im new here
ummm before maybe a month i tested a TA with TCS and it manual
when i turned it on the car start burning in straight line with smooth shifting
when i turn it off the car just move like a snake in the street with very hard shifting
i cant even shift fast to 2nd gear
i didnt ask the owner cuz it was for sale
but he had a problem with the tranny's mount's
peace
