Sentimental value question

I’m going to be listing my beloved Accord on Craigslist soon. I’m a very sentimental person, and I wanted a little memento from the car before I sell it. Besides old license plates, is there anything I can remove from the car that won’t harm it or its resale value?

RC F for your time.

The wheels.

Throw in free cinderblocks as a replacement.

I have the gas cap from our now scrapped Volvo 240 and the antenna from our Trailblazer on my 4Runner... Not sure if that counts.

I kept the mechanic’s key when I sold my VW, so maybe that or the shift knob?

I have the front badge from my old Civic but it legitimately fell off before I sold it.

Not removing the badges. That harms resale value.

Well if anything falls off I’m in luck.

I wasn’t suggesting that you were. Be a CL dick and sell for XXXX or XXXX+ if they want the seats. Keep the seats.

The first aid kit if it has one. You can solve any emergency with the Honda branded FAK.

I say do a nice photoshoot with your car. That’s my plan. If you’ve got any friends that are good with a camera see if they’d be willing to snap some great shots maybe something you’d even want to put up on the wall.

haha I know you're not. I suggested key simply because it's a small object. I know my dad has does the same with his past cars.

I actually plan on doing that. Tomorrow I’m going to a self-service car wash then to an empty parking lot with my D300 for some CL pictures.

If you have an extra key don't disclose you do (;

I say do a nice photo shoot with car and frame some of the pictures. If you can, I'd also suggest getting a diecast model of your car to keep as a physical memento of it.

If you don’t mind the ricey look, one of these might not be an awful idea either.

In that case, then just take the radio presets.

My dad has a ‘99 Accord sedan w/manual. Clutch only wore out because my bro learned how to drive on it.

My favorite part is the whirring it makes in reverse.

I love that car.

My car makes a faint, yet distinct whirring when you let off the gas and start coasting. It’s fantastic.

For the love of God, have someone take a picture of you with your car, especially in your car. I have many regrets...
