Despite the mantra "never pay for someone else's mods" there are still Infact a lot of idiots that will pay for someone else's mods

Depends on the mods. If it's stuff I can see, like a lift kit, it's different.

Anything internal though, absolutely not. Especially if they start talking about 'Stage 2' at any point.

Agreed. There's a lot of upgraded parts you would consider mods that are just improvements over OEM. But the typical ricer mods aren't that.

Paying 25k euro for somebody elses 500hrs of work and 15k euro in parts seemed like a fair deal to me. Tuner cars resale value is always way less then the money and time invested in them, so if you find a good one prebuilt you can save a lot.

Of course they live a really hard life so its quite risky, but there is a reward at the end of the risk.

I will pay for mods, but it depends on what they are. Decent stuff that is OOP, and can't especially be broken, okay, sure.
