I got Mercury Montego 2007. It's a real nice car, reliable, big and cozy and looks good too. Also, its pretty rare and has been discontinued so it will be nice to be unique, especially later on when you will see even fewer of them. I've had it for a year and a half-bought it used, got a great deal on it, but I was thinking about changing the interior, putting different type of leather seats, a wood wheel and so on, to make it feel more luxurious. Is it worth doing that though, especially that it's not the most high end car to begin with or I should I just save money and buy a luxury car some day? (benz, caddie, etc)
If you monkey with it, smart people would not buy it from you later. Theree is noo way to know whether a back yard mechanic messed everything up. Many many people will nto touch a modified used car. you might be able to sell it to a kid if it is cheap enough.
Hundreds of thousands of hot rodders over the years would beg to differ. My own hot rods and customs would also be evidence to the contrary. I've never lost money on one yet.

Of course it all depends on whos buying as to if they like what you're selling for the price you're asking. I'm rather picky when buying someone's customized car. But if I like the color, interior and it doesn't look like someone's hacked it together, I might be inclined to buy. My 2 cents.

i'd maybe add on who the owner was and the type of car. If it's an Evo and is not 100% stock (and owner seems a bit wet behind the ears ) that drivetrain has likely been to hell and back and i'd avoid that car like the plague. But same Evo that is in prestine condition with good service history and still without mods-- at least i'd consider it.
Like I said before, I am not planning to sell the car, especially if I will start pimping it out.
If you decide you don't want to kick out money for expensive leather seats then consider some Iggee seat covers. I bought some a while back to cover the ripped leather in a Mustang and they fit like a glove. They are made of vinyl and they are textured similar to many car interiors. Most people don't realize they are seat covers because they fit so well. They make them for front and back seats. Two tone covers are also available. I ordered mine off ebay instead of the website because it was cheaper.
