You don't buy your new cars. You finance them. Doing all the engine upgrades will void the warranty and make it nearly impossible to trade back in won't it?
Of course i finance, I dont have 35k in cash just laying around, but i can make 2-3 years worth of payments to pay it off.
That and financing helps the credit score / best way to boost it. Im about to break 800 on my credit score. Having anything in the top tier (either 720+ or 750+ / cant remember exactly) pretty much guarantees you the lowest interest rate on loans. Like on my new car, my interest is 2.25% which is like nothing at all.
And to your mods question, No not at all
If something happens on the vehicle, they have to prove that whatever mods you did caused the part failure/etc. If you do a full engine build and if something in the engine goes wrong, then thats on you because other then the block nothing left is factory.. But lets say the axel breaks or something unrelated to whats modded. They have to prove that because of the modified engine, that the axel broke due to being over torqued/over powered. The time they would have to invest into doing all that for a 200-300$ axel would be more then just fixing the problem and sending you on your way and from my experience they tend to do the latter
As for trade in,
I traded my last challenger in on my new one and my old one had ported heads, headers, and straight pipes after the cats. It also had a predator tune on it, skip shift eliminator mod, and an srt intake manifold and CAI on it. They gave me full market value for it/it was a 2011 r/t 5 speed auto and had 68k miles on it (they gave me over 20k for it)
