Hey all, im thinking of selling my car once i get it back (resprayed). I was wondering if id get more with all the calais parts on it ( calais look alike ) or as a exec/berlina with a calais front end only, as im thinking of selling it early next year, but not sure whats better. Also, if anybody could estimate how much it is worth. It just got painted so obviously the body is nice and new. Thanks.
