In my honest opinion, the fox hit rock bottom a couple years ago in terms of price, and now they are starting to slowly climb since their age is currently 13-19 years old. Well kept examples are getting rarer and rarer as well.<br /><br />Modifications, unfortunately, are one of those things that are in the eye of the beholder. They generally do not raise the value of the car, and that is precisely why many people part their modded cars out, or bring them back to stock prior to selling. But, there are buyers out there that are specifically looking for modded cars and are willing to pay more for them.<br /><br />You only need 1 person out there that believes the car has a particular value when selling.<br /><br />One other thing I have learned over the years here, as much as I enjoy it, is that this site is FILLED with bashers who are quick to jump down your throat about a price of a car or performance part.<br /><br />I would say 90% of the things I have tried to sell here, I was ripped for having them overpriced, and almost 100% of those items were sold for my full asking price on CL, ebay, or the corral, lol.<br /><br />Good Luck guys! <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
