When I'm selling a car, I always separate the vehicle from any extra items that are related to it but not part of the package from the factory. Now, the floor mats was going WAY too far, but I recently sold a car and didn't include the aftermarket car cover or second set of wheels with it even though they were sold to me with the car. Why?<br />
<br />
Because from previous sales, I know that these items add basically nothing to the price of the car. They get scooped up as "throw ins" and disregarded when placed beside value factors like mileage, documentation of repairs, and condition.<br />
<br />
So what did I get for those wheels and that cover?<br />
<br />
Wheels: $3,000 cash.<br />
<br />
Cover: $220 cash.<br />
<br />
$3,220 additional cash... and I got exactly the same amount for the car as I would have if I'd given them away with it.<br />
<br />
So keeping your mats was a dick move, but definitely, whenever you buy or sell, don't give away more stuff with the car than you have to.</div>
