Mustang Value after Supercharging

[danno1]

The Coyote motor is a Bullet proof
Motor so don’t know why people would be scared of SC on them. I mean damn the Shelby performance division puts SC on their cars and trucks all the time. Sorry can’t agree with the SC add on ruins the value much more than just the typical loss of value on a vehicle. I have the Shelby Super Snake with a SC on it and now it’s not valuable? Nah others may want to steal your pride and joy and tell you so but professional installation and cherry clean car you will get good money. But yeh crappy installation and abuse your ride sure it’s going to show and scare people.

I agree coming from the factory with a SC doesn't change the depreciation. But, adding a HP part like the SC as an aftermarket ?

Because you asked the question means you are already thinking it does. Now apply that logic to other future mustang purchasers. It's rather simple. It's a known fact that a overly large percentage of "Mustang" owners are super picky about almost everything.

That being said. I don't think you purchased your car for it's resale value. It's 100% about SPM (Smiles per Mile). If you want the added power go for it. If your concerned about it hurting your resale value then don't.

You only have to convince yourself if it's something you want/need to do.

You only have to convince your accounting department (significant other) if it's something you want/need to do.

I see what you did there! The wife and I did a thing 15 years ago that has been a massive contributing factor in keeping our marriage of 19 years now. We separated our moneys. I don't ask her for permission to spend my money and she doesn't ask for mine for hers. We each pay our fair share and come together for large family purchases.

That being said I told her 18 years ago I wouldn't purchase a car without at least telling her first. (I had purchased a car with "OUR" money without asking her) So last year I said to her "Honey I'm getting a Mustang next week". She was like "OK, but you have to get rid of 4 of your cars and the other mustang." I replied with "I'll get rid of 3 vehicles and keep both mustangs." Give and take. I have an 85 Fox that is my Drag car as well as my 19' GT DD.

lol ^^^ same but different...wife and I split household expenses, but have a $1,000 personal limit as long as it does not affect the afore mentioned household.

this was tested handily a few years back when “one of us” found ourselves in an eBay bidding war over a Honda RC51 (google it if you don’t know) and I ended up winning the dam thing

anything over that requires approval of the opposing party...good stuff man!

In my experience of buying and selling performance cars over the years. I have learned that there are two types of performance vehicle buyers.

1. Wants stock, factory boosted, preferably warranty.
2. Wants modded, built, turn-key. 1000hp+ car

My recent 19 GT purchase is stock and under warranty/extended.

I have owned two MKIV Supra's, both turbo/6spd MT, one was bone stock, the other I bought fully built 800whp.

From that experience the stock was a better car, didn't have any issues, wasn't molested/beat on. I only did the typical bolt ons, I/E/ tune on 91 pump.


* Go look up the asking price for an MKIV( 93-98) Supra, especially bone stock. The prices are mind blowing!

The built one was a blast... until things started to break.

...I want to mod it( 19 GT)... but I also already know myself that within 1-2 years I will want something new. So I may just leave it as is and keep the miles down. I work from home so I don't have to drive it much.

I think at least for me, stock, boosted and a warranty is ideal. C7 Z06, GTR, Shelby GT500...

Love it. I called my wife and asked her if I should buy the roush p2 kit. She asked if it would make me happy .

i should probably mention this was the second 2018+ I had bought within two years. Both had blowers on them. Buy what you want and beat the shit out of it. It’s a mustang, not a collectors item

It only matters if you can not afford it.

Step one remove blower step 2 put back to stock then sell it as never been modded.

You forgot step 3, sell blower to recoup some of the original cost!

 

[NotQuiteAverageJoe]

When I was looking around to buy mine, all the supercharged Mustang's were going for at least 5-7k more than their N/A counterparts, so while you probably won't get the full payback you can recoup some of the cost as long as you're patient and sell it yourself. Dealers tend to dislike aftermarket mods as it reduces the market.

 

[Jeff's FRC]

If you have a nicely done Mustang with a supercharger, you WILL get more than its non supercharged counterpart.

 

[EmCel]

You would need to find a buyer who wants to pay more than the dealer. Supercharger or not doesn't add to the value imo unless you find a private buyer who's looking for a supercharged car...

 

[Robottrainer]

Just curious..
What does the Supercharger do to the value of a relatively new Mustang GT? Increase or Decrease its value?

Also, this would be on a PP2

Dont care. I like it and still have a warranty
