To slam or not to slam? To flip

[GreasyE30]

Ok guys what's going on? I haven't been on in a while. My e30 caught fire & died about 7 months ago:(
Anyway I have a w124 Merc wagon that my wife and I plan to flip. We got it dirt cheap knowing there'd be some fixing up to do. It wasn't originally gonna be a flip but shit happens....I would fix it up for myself but after my e30 I bought a 06 Dodge Magnum SRT8:)

Sooo I wanna ask what do you guys think I should do,
1. slam it & sell it
OR
2. just clean it up & sell it?

I'll be using some w124 tricks to get it low. Google w124 wagon slammed to see some pictures as I'm too lazy to post them.

LMK Thanks

Don't slam it, most people (e.g. not the F&F crowd) distrust cars like that and their owners when looking to purchase.

Not everyone is into slammed cars. Clean it up and sell it. Maybe add in that you can "lower" it if the new buyer prefers for extra $$$

i like to think about the market on the car your trying to sell, enthusiast in to jeeps, lets say, will pay more (in theory) for one properly lifted because that's what there market is for(again in theory, i don't know jeeps what so ever)

for me if there where two identical e30s and one was 2000 and it was stock height and the other was 2250 and was properly lowered with proper parts (never cut coils) i would get the one that was lowered because it would save me a step.

but this isnt a E30 were talking about, this is a family wagon....

If it doesn't rip of IS lips on a daily basis, nobody is interested.

Slam it, add Stanceworks stickers, charge 2X more.

E30 to Magnum SRT8? Thats the real questionable discussion here.

This works.

Stance-taxx.

My thoughts exactly.

How big is the market for slammed W124's? I feel like keeping it stock will attract more buyers.

Leave it stock, make two identical ads, Photoshop one to be hella slammed vtec yo! and see what kind of offers you get.

[GreasyE30]

Oh man you guys are the best!
Thanks for the responses

[GreasyE30]

Yea about the SRT8... I was just ready for a mom car:nice:

(reader shakes head, looks to heavens and asks: why god? why?!!!!)

if i was in the market for one of these(i am not), i would glance at your ad and think some retarded kid is selling a shittily modified car and move on to the next one.
