[b] Maybe it would be better to ask for increased value through additional service or consumables like car covers,mats,etc. that we all buy anyway,but that don't really add to or subtract from the value of the car.


You can ask for increased value for the add-ons but it really won't make a lot of difference to a buyer if price is among his concerns, if he can deal on another similar equipped one at a lower price.
I always remember when I was younger and trading in a car I'd put a lot of time and money and goodies on--The trade-in value came back way lower than I'd expected, I said but look it has new Cragars and Firestone redlines....and....and., the guy said so--every car has wheels and tires...and..and. . Made a real point in my mind. A Cobra replica certainly holds it's value compared to a lot of other cars. A well built Butler or Unique or whatever say built in '93 or so compared to a Vette of the same year is probably worth twice as much if not more--'92/93 Vettes are being sold between 10/15k--the replicas 25/30K+/-
