2 Part Question on Arden XKR Coupe may be willing to sell
I have just recently sold my 2000 XKR Convertible for $10,500 immaculate condition with just over 130K miles on it. I also just so happen to come across a Black on Black 2000 XKR Coupe with 138K miles and an Arden performance package installed on it for little $4,300... ya that's not a type-o. Major score for me!!!!
I felt the power in the later to be significant and handling much more stiffer like a Porsche Carrera. came a besides the power the exhaust has been upgraded, Tail lights are the Arden type and the tail on the trunk has been blended and incorporated as one piece with the Rear deck lid. It also, has the Recaro upgraded seats front and rear which I got from an 05 coupe some time ago. Hidden anti-theft kill switch - The car dies a few minutes after the button is pressed so that the thieves don't get very far. Tensioners have been upgraded and no leaks what so ever.
My questions are:

My questions are:
- How can I tell what performance upgrades were installed on the car other that the exhaust just by inspection?
- If I were to sell the car how much could I get for it? KBB has it around $6500 to $7500? The car is a little neglected on the exterior (will need to get a good detail) but may also need to have some clearcoat issues addressed around the Arden taillights. The interior is pristine other than sight wear on the newer Recaro Drivers seat bolster. Also steering column adjustment motor is grinding.

I don't see much "Arden" on this car.
Take a look at my car in my sig if you want to see what a car done at Arden would have come with. All I see are the tail lights, and Possibly the exhaust, oh and of course the obligatory arden badge on the trunk - which btw mine did NOT come with.
Other than that, it's a standard XKR coupe.
Do you have an Arden build sheet / and or the original sale documentation?
Just food for thought.
