prepping a car for sale. put back interior gidgets?

Center console. i took it out. when i did, i remember thinking random thoughts like:

"oh damn, this is gonna be difficult to put back. like a rubix cube!!"
or
"whoa. look at this tiny part, it's as good as LOST"
or
"crap..where did that part fly off too?"

i've been kicking around the idea of selling my SC. miles are still brutally low. car is clean. but i did remove the console and the back seats. i am considering putting the console back in. any advantage? or just list it "as is".??

i just dont drive it anymore. i always have some excuse. too hot, too cold, too rainy, too many cars to move to even get to it, etc.

opinions?

Hate those pesky first world problems...

The Saucy Campaign is now taking donations of primarily unloved and not used 911s....

I'll PM you the address and send a carrier, have that baby out of your hair in no time

The more it looks stock the better value you will receive because it doesn't look messed with. Replace the Rubics cube and the back seats

Even if the value isn't more with the stock parts, it may be an easier sell with the console and seats back in, as the pool of potential buyers will probably be bigger. Some people won't consider a car that doesn't look fairly stock.

It must be the angle of the shot. To me the door looks a couple shades darker than the quarter panel and fender.

Also, if you have any inkling that you will miss your 911, I recommend not selling it. That may seem obvious, but the buy back in price will be quite expensive.

Vash, what other cars do you drive, sorted by driving frequency.
