Does putting stuff on your car decrease the actual value for it?

It may be worth more to a few people, but it will be worth less to most people.

By personalizing a vehicle, you make it less attractive to other buyers. The dealer would have had to spend time and money to bring the vehicle back to factory condition and that lowers the trade-in value of the vehicle.

With a dealer, yes. It reduces the number of buyers who will be interested in the car. They will be spending money to put the car back to stock. And who would want to have a Batman logo in his car? You will be on the receiving end of jokes in the office if you have one.

it's a Dodge. It lost it's value as soon as it came off the lot.

It depends on the buyer. Not the car lot salesman. Strap on a BALE OF DOPE. The value just went up for the druggies.

Who CARES? Is the stuff installed is for HIM, or some doofus in 5 of 10 years?
