De-badging Value

[Hyphons]

I'm considering the idea of de-badging the citgo, but I'm concerned it'll de-value it when it comes to selling (if that ever happens..) I've pocked around other forums etc and most have said that it will likely de-value the car when it comes to selling on.. (most likely going to sell it to a garage and not private) so is it really worth it? Sure it won't cost anything to do, but in the long run when it comes to re-selling, if it does de-value the car surely that means it will cost to de-badge?

bung a VW badge on it and watch the value go Up! HTH

De-badge if you want, and re-badge to sell it.

You forgot to mention to switch the rear light's to the Up!'s to add value

But doesn't that cost money? I'm unemployed so money's a tight budget

This. Badges cost nothing. I just picked up a new, genuine Octavia badge for less than £5 on ebay

I'll probably just go for it, why not?

You could just remove the badges carefully.

 

and if you can not get Tape to replace them, PM me i will send you some for free.

Or leave them where they are, people have an idea what it is by the shape of it. A Skoda Citigo

Just de badge it. Replacing cost peanuts.

Why would removing the badges decrease the value of the car however it would make it faster as there's less weight to carry.

But of course, my 59bhp engine will sour all the way to an impressive 159bhp engine, blowing all those VW Ups! & Seat Mii's out the window

Selling to a dealer and I doubt they'd notice the debadging.

My dealer thought my Octy looked better debadged and know I will do the Citigo too

I wouldn't have thought so, loys of manufactures offer it as an option, I should mention I have it on my new Fiesta that the dealer did it for me before I picked it up

(Please dont have a go at me)

I do rather miss my go - especially the MPG

Thanks
