Should I keep the parts off of my truck?

this, and/or if you have problems you can always have spare parts.

Even with other vehicles I kept all the old parts, then when they were no longer needed as the vehicle was gone, put them up on craigslist for sale. Never got much for them but whatever. And if after a little no one wants them you can always throw most things out.

 

I had them posted up on Audizine a few times @$1200 with little action. They have roughly 6 months of use on them. Great deal for a $2k set. Not ready to give them away to someone. Shit I may just buy another B6/B7 Avant and throw them back on. Only had to take off due to a rear end with Toyota of all things (slammed on his breaks in front of me).

Agree with you on bags. My brother has an A4 and wants to go that route. (although not young we know folks that work at accuair so hes all over that).

 

The stock exhaust and intake on a 2017 will only fit on a 2016 or 2017. Most of these trucks are under warranty so no one will be out looking on Craigslist for them. Once they are out of warranty or if our current 3rd gen was around for 3+ years, then you would have had a better chance of selling used. Maybe in a few years, you may have some takers, but not really anybody right now, unless someone with the same mods as you dumped their original exhaust or intake and now want to sell their truck with the stock parts. I would keep them if i had the space, but if you are thinking they have value, they really don't, not now anyway.

 

I already got it hanging up in a good spot! I just have to remember to put some ductape over the open ends, so wasp and such don't build nests in it.

I was thinking about that too, I'm not really worried about selling it, but in several years I would have a better chance of at least getting a few bucks out of it. For now, I have a back up just in case.

 

I only keep parts I might need to swap back for inspections. Like exhaust and bumpers. Other than that. Sell to pay for new parts!

 

A customer at my dealership traded in a '16 tacoma. Customer has the Off grid engineering dual battery system installed. I asked the used car manager if they would let the system go for $500. Manager declined. Truck been in an accident. They're asking $34k.

 

Always keep so if you ever decide to sell your truck you can out it back on. The TRD parts are worth more imo when you want to sell it.
