Hi all, I hope I'm in the right forum. I own a 97' Civic EX Coup 1.6 that has 118K miles on it. It's currently in the shop with a cylinder two misfire symptom. Upon further inspection the dealership found that I had a slight crack in my cylinder head and another in my engine block, they feel this is the cause of the check engine light not responding correctly.

Under the Extended Emissions Warranty suite with Honda, they are covering my cars repairs and are currently putting in a new short block, cylinder head, spark plugs, distributor cap, ignition wires, water pump and a new oil filter along with a oil change at no cost to me and also will be coming with a 3 year 36,000 transferable warranty.

I'm having them change out the timing belt since they have it all apart anyway and it should be done since I haven't done it yet. My question is this. Now that all this workis being done to my car I figure now it the best time to sell it to maximize a return on it so I was seeing what you guys thought it might be worth at this stage of its life.

I looked on Ebay and my local papers andthe same caras my ownwith about 130K were being sold around $5,500 to $6. A friend of mine doesn't think I canget anything close to $6 but I disagree. Whatdo you guys think?

Good luck..You wont be closeon getting6 grand mark..You must look for jerk to give you that kind of cash..Insane.

 

Maybe $4,000 to $5,000? I mean its an 11 year old car, but depending on where you live, maybe Civics command a premium...sure list it for $6,000 and drop the price if no one replies...

(...you can lease a new 2008 civic coupe for $199/mo zero down...)
