Thinking of Selling my RS

[dkennedy1989]

I'm thinking i'm going to be selling my 2013 Sonic RS Hatchback within the next couple of weeks. My question is would it be easier to sell with all the aftermarket parts on it? Or should I return it to stock and sell all the parts separately? I tried searching and couldn't find any answers to my specific question.

Strip it and sell the parts separate if you are trading it in because they will most likely strip it to stock anyways and give you no more for your mods than stock. If you are selling yourself then I'd say keep it modded and sell as is first or see what a buyer would want you to include.

GLWS!

I'm probably selling it my self, I found a jeep wrangler that I am wanting to get. I just moved closer to work so no point having an economy car with only 5 miles to drive.

Removing the aftermarket parts and selling those separately is always the best move financially, but I rarely did it, mainly because my previous vehicles had some non-reversible mods.

Sorry to see you go, but I see why you maybe want to sell. If I lived 5 miles I would be temped too.

What parts do you have ?

My work is exactly 4.6 miles away, but I still manage to drive about 350-370 miles a week. Not sure how that happens.

I miss driving my wrangler, and pretty much all my buddies are off-roaders.

ZZP Turbo Back Exhaust with Cat Delete
Forge Atmospheric BOV
ZZP Air Intake
ZZP Dual Gauge POD
DDM Turbo Heat Shield
Trifecta Red Tune Cable
Trifecta Budget Tune

Was going to eventually upgrade but no sense to now that I am so close to work and wanting a wrangler.

Gah. I sold my TJ Rubicon and miss it dearly. I miss the blood and sweat and work I put into it.

Sure, the money that stays in my pocket instead of being spent on gas and maint sure is nice, and allows me to save some of it and spend the other part on my other hobbies (guns and shooting, camping, outdoors, etc) but I sure miss it...

It sure as heck made financial sense to sell it, but it sure didn't make an emotional sense to sell it.

yep

If you decide to sell Id be interested in the gauge pod, heat shield and possibly the catback portion of the exhaust

That's what I am looking at is a TJ Rubicon, only has 50k miles on it. And my hobby is going offroading, which can't be accomplished with a sonic.

Apparently you have not seen my driveway.

If you sold this stuff I guarantee it would go fast

Speaking of which, count me in on the pod, turbo back and bov too!

Ok, It is decided, I am going to be taking off the parts sometime this week or this weekend. I will pm everyone in the order posted/messaged. After that if there are any parts left over I will create a new thread for those parts.

If it is a 2005-2006, then do yourself a favor and pull the OPDA (oil pump drive assembly) and check the OPDA gear for wear. If there is a problem, you will see that the gear has a scalloped wear type on the teeth. This is a common issue and you need to be aware of it if you are looking at those years.

If OPDA fails due to worn gears, you will blow your motor.

Mine had moderate wear around 45k miles. I changed it.

Pulling and inspecting is super easy.

Thanks, the guy that has it is taking it directly to dealership for inspection with me to have everything looked over. I'll be sure to check that.

I always mod with the intention of returning to stock when I sell. Usually tho I'm too lazy to return it to stock lol.

Interested in any exhaust parts that are available.
