If you are selling it soon, I wouldnt do anything other than basic maintainance.
You wont be compensated by the buyer more than likely for any mods. also alot of times mods create more issues.
As far as cheap mods, We really need to know the budget youre talking about. $1000, $500, $5.00 or ?....... Because not much $ to some people , is alot to others. Also would you do the work yourself or would you be paying someone?

BAD IDEA
Race fuel would just slow it down.
But the stickers would do the trick

With 3550 lbs cars I think we need to be in the 300-310 h.p. to make our cars fast as well as luxury.without breaking the bank, if I had lots of money Id be driving an 04 vette.

just my 2 cents...but if your going to sell it soon...then leave it stock..because anything you do to it USUALLY (not always) lowers the value of the car

I started out wanting to mod my car on a very limited budget and now I have a mountain of NA-T stuff piled in my garage.... Way over budget....
