    I agree, your never going to get back what you put into the car.

    you might get more for a seb2 - seb4.11 than standard but not enough to cover the costs that you spent to get it to that state

    the seb two route would be ok for your car. - a mid level of tuning will sell your car on here quite well. people looking in autotrader and that dont know what their buying most of the time anyway unless their specifically looking for a punto gt.

    Nobody knows much about your car unless you supply a link of similar to show us so nobody can really tell you.

    but if youve only bought the car to sell it then there isnt much point. better to get your enjoyment out of it then sell if for the same as you bought it for or less as the case may be.

    Seb4 is hilarious, but if nor keeping long term then Seb2 is the route.
