Are there any mods that are value neutral or additive?

I doubt anyone here has done the things (and spent in some cases 2 or 3 times the price of the car) to cars I have. I have lost probably well over 2 million dollars (might even be higher), over the years, and the answer is unless you are building a track car, NO. Modifications are generally specific to some ones tastes, and what you like will not likely be what the next buyer wants. Wheels, I have almost never liked the stuff I see people doing, I don't do things for looks usually. I have seen too many poorly modified cars, done by people with no idea what they are doing, and in most cases the car overall performs worse than stock.

 

I'll say any car with original TRX wheel/tires that has repos in addition should add value. Oh wait both my cars have this, so I may be a bit bias.

Tubi on 308 adds value for me and again I'm bias as I have one, but it is also so much better than stock in every way.

Now I'm sure this thread was more for value than driving pleasure, as is with so many of these type threads. So I will give my pat answer; you will have to make that determination buying the car, owning the car and maybe even driving the car.

All the new Ferraris are so personalized, the secondary market is full of things I would never pay a nickel more for, that may have cost the owner 40-50K.

 

Sadly, the for sure value adder is to not drive it. The second best value is to have a great and pleasing spec. As the car ages, the less a common sense mod affects the value one way or the other. These are driver cars and not investments.

 

One more: Braided brake lines.

Possibly big brakes.
