Would you pay more for a properly upgraded, low mileage '01.5 S4?

[Dan DiBiase]

I personally would not really consider a car with extensive mods. Having just finished a search for a Mk IV Jetta for my
younger son, it's very difficult to find one with NO mods, so an exhaust (with cat still on) and 'cold air intake' were really
the extent of the mechanical mods I was considering. Fortunately, I was able to find a completely stock 2003 Jetta Wolfsburg
Edition with the 1.8T and 5-speed and every option and bought it from the original owner with 87k miles.....!

Hey Fans!
 
Long time lurker, almost too many past and quattros owner here.  Here's my question:
 
I've decided to sell my S4 Avant.  It's a near excellent condition Tipper with some high end, what I would call Stage I mods including Stasis Tracksport suspension, ASP Stage I chip, AWE dual exhaust, 710N Diverters, Center Vent Boost guage, and AWE Drive Train Stabilizer.  Everything works, never raced or abused.  All installed by Chicago Performance Tuning ~2 years ago.  All told, around $6,000 in mods.  Now I don't expect to get an extra penny vs. a stock car for the mods, but what would the concensis be:
 
A.  I would pay more for a near perfect car with these mods (if so, how much more?)
 
or
 
B. I would pay less for a the same car because of the mods (if so, how much less)
 
The car in question is on one of those popular auctions sites with no reserve, so Monday afternoon, we will all know what the market will bear!
 
Thanks in advance!
 
JC
