Hi! I have a 2015 Forester that I actually like. However, I really want:
I've been looking at buying a new Forester, but honestly my only objection is the electronics and it's very expensive to buy a car when there's nothing wrong with it. In my first car, the dealer put in aftermarket stuff and it was a total disaster. Ultimately it didn't matter because the car died the day I traded it in and the dealer said that it was headed to the auction.
If I replace the stereo with an after market stereo and add dash cam/improved rearview cam, will this have a significant negative effect on the sales value of the car? I think I can get some nice stuff for $1000-$1500, which is far cheaper than $20k for a new car (after trading this one in).
Just trying to understand my risk of loss of value.
- Apple Car Play
- Rear View camera that I can see (it's often obscured by the sun)
- Dash Cam (rear view recording would be nice but not required)
