Here is the formula
B4-(B4*C4*0.015)-(B4*0.015*(40-D4))
Where
B4 = value of the modification
C4 = The age of the modification in months
D4 = the age of the owner (so that the further below 40, the less the mod is worth.
Example: A $5000 mod, that is 12 months old, and owned by a 30 year old would be worth $3350

Which is why it's WRONG! :-)................
The older you are, the LESS the mod should be worth- not the other way around.
Why would a 60 year old GAS about a supercharger? According to your formula, the mod would actually go UP in value if you were a geezer.
eg. $5,000 supercharger, 12 months old, 60 year old= $5,600, or $600 MORE than the mod to begin with (the negative of a negative number is a positive).
You are "THE WEAKEST LINK"! :-)

I think D4 is the age of the person who installed the mod, not the age of the person buying the
modded car. Implication being, of course, that the older you are, the wiser---and thus more valuable---your mods will be.
Now I'm the one with way too much time on my hands.

WRONG! John McLuaghlin WRONG!, My blue toed freind
A mod done my a younger guy is more likely to be:
1. Self (or cheaply) installed.
2. Driven into the ground.
3. Poorly maintained.
Good bye
