I would never consider buying a modded used car, ever. Most often, a modded car for sale is someone else's failed experiment. I'd say a car with $10k in mods or any amount of $ in mods is worth...

The stock plug on my car has a rubber gasket "built" into it. I torque it properly and it has never leaked. This applies to many other cars I work on.
