Money isn't the only positive return for an investment. If he, or anyone for that matter, gets enjoyment from modifying a vehicle, I see that as a positive return. Not everything in life that we enjoy has to be sold at a later time to be deemed worthwhile.
The bottom line is that if he wants to put different wheels on his car, or have it modified by a tuning company, he can. I'm pretty sure that's one of the main reasons people belong to this forum. I certainly enjoy reading about and seeing what others have done to their cars, even if mine is leased and I don't plan anything big. And I appreciate what mightyjlr has done to make this discussion and sharing of ideas and information possible.
Ditto,
I was only really trying to show that spending alot on after market Mods like the supercharger that is almost $10k is not really in my opinion a smart idea when the #1 tuner in the world AMG is making it stock (SRT-6)That's all.
Why spend money on a used car when you can sell it and buy a new one and have what you want on it from the Factory !Then if you can't bear to not have the most Radical WHEELS on a XF then put them on the NEW 1.That would make more sense to me anyway.
