I'm planning to keep my car for a while, so I've added a few items that make the car more pleasant. I'm not too concerned about getting the money back out of the modifications. I wouldn't do anything to make the car unsellable.

However, it is mystifying why my daughter's 2006 Honda Civic (admittedly a fairly well optioned EX model) came with variable intermittent wipers (which I added to my Boxster) and a decent sound system (which cost me several hundred dollars to achieve in my Boxster.) Although I bought both cars used, the sticker on my car was about $50,000 and my daughter's was about $19,000.

The other mystery is the behavior of the person who bought my car new. He splurged on colored wheel crests ($185), but couldn't find the coin for heated seats which probably cost $400.
