I'm looking into trading in my car (01 ex sedan) for an 02 ex 5speed sedan or coupe (probably sedan cause i don't want to waste the $ i put into my taillights and grill and stuff). I have about 33k miles on my car but what i'm wondering is, I did a lot of interior modifications including a crapload of painting and some other stuff that might depreciate the value. Will these mods inside hurt the car's value that much? I have a few scratches and dings and stuff on the outside (installed fog lights myself too) and I know that'll drop the value too. Does anyone have a good estimate on how much I should get for my car and how much balance you think it'll be if I do indeed trade in?

EDIT: Tint too on the back windows 5% on the back 3

i think the best way to find out is to go to the dealer and ask...

Since you've done the interior "damage" to the car by painting it you will probably get more money from the dealer than you would from a outside buyer. Most dealers just go by the NADA book and milage, but you'll probably lose a little since the interior is modified.

not really they dont look so much at that stuff. They are more concerned with scratches on the outside and engine wear and tear than things like that. Since they go by the book your looking at about the same. The scracthes and dings if they arent too bad it wont really lower it too much since they can fix those for next to nothing. But you would honestly be able to get more from a individual than from a dealership but itll take longer to sell the car.
