Trading in Car...

I plan on trading in my civic over summer 07. I need to know how to go about getting the best value for my car. I'm guessing converting completely to stock and parting out any after-market parts. My exhaust is cat-back so I have the back section welded on - installing my stock exhaust back, will i lose any value because it was modded? That's my main concern.

Would I get more selling the car as is? This is my first car, and I don't have many mods (or any idea how trading a car in works), but I'm just trying to figure it out ahead of time. Any insight will be helpful. Plannin on bmw m series, mercedes, or G35. Appr. $35-$40k any recommendations.

return it to stock. will be your best bet. you wont lose value if it was modded as long as they dont know.
