What do you think its worth?
Im considering selling my current civic sometime in the not to distant future. I have an idea of about how much its worth but i figured id post up on here and see what other people think.
The Good: Interior: Sparco Sprint Seats (x2) Sparco Clubman 4Pt Harnesses (x2) Sparco Flash 5 Steering Wheel ITR Shift Knob and Short Shifter Suspension: Eibach Gold Line Springs Ebay Strut Bars Ebay H Brace Rota Slip Stream wheels Brembo slotted rotors with Hawk HPS pads on the front (stock on rear) Engine: B16A2 (12.5 compression ratio) Less than 20,000 miles since rebuild CTR pistons (oversized 81.5mm) Stock crank and rods Ported B16 head with 3 angle value job Exedy stage 1 clutch Exedy light weight flywheel Energy suspension shift bushing Energy suspension motor mount inserts JDM bronze shift linkage Greddy 4-2-1 header Tanabe exhaust Generic cold air intake CTR camshaft AEM camgears The Bad: The reverse is out Windshield has a big crack Needs new tires Needs new boot axle Couple of messed up paint spots but still a good looking car The Whatever: Car is loud as hell Interior is completely stripped, just has a dash The cars pretty quick, I just took a friend that has a WRX for a ride and he said the car was faster than his. Although it only has springs the car actually handles great, im guessing cause its so lite. Post up how much you think i should sell it as is and also how much you think i should try to get for it if i fixed the problems. Thanks. http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...87c4753d80.jpg http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...db1174b124.jpg http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...98a5fc3e31.jpg |
Is the fender dented or is that just the light hits it???
|
I would not pay more than $1500 for that car
|
I'd give you about $2k tops considering what needs done to the car.
And I'd say a stock wrx would still be faster than that (no offense). I drive them on a regular basis and that DOHC turbo boxer is no joke. |
See i was thinking 2g but then I saw the dent in the fender... I agree w/ Tony you prob won't get any more then 1500
I say list it for 2g because people will low ball you... |
you have to remember that some ppl are scared of modification, so a stock car can go for more than yours. picking up someone's project can me a money pit. that is why everyone seems to say that price, the reality of it is, if you want to get 2k ish for that thing you are going to have to be prepaired to wait a while to sell it and turn down a few offers till you get what you want. $1500 isnt a bad price for that if it actualy works properly and is tuned. i would say buy an interior, get the problems fixed and sell it for more. a "turn key" car will sell better than one that has a list of things to fix. thats my thought on it:) good luck
|
I wouldn't pay over $1000, for a few reasons:
•cracked windshield •no reverse •needs axle •needs tires •stripped interior |
Project cars are money pit's part out to people who are into tuning and take what ever you can get to get a fresh ride.
|
Not many people would be interested in a stripped car. That killed it for me.
To make any kind of money off of that car, your going to have to find a dumb, young kid to sell it to. |

You said that you had an idea of what it is worth. Why don't you tell us what YOU think it's worth, and we'll pick up the conversation from there?

And honestly, you'll probably get more money parting the car out (selling the drivetrain, seats, etc and then selling the rolling shell) than you will outright selling the car. |

fair enough, i was thinking 2000 to 3000, wide range i know, but thats why i got on here. btw how much you would all think if i fixed the car up? windshield, axle, reverse, and found some interior?
not a bad idea, i hadnt considered that. But, if you had a full (and CLEAN) interior in there, and fixed the mechanical issues, you might be able to get something in the neighborhood of $2200. The main issue is that it's modded. To you that might seem like a good thing, but no one wants to buy someone else's problem (err, Project). Mods don't had to resale value, unless you've TT'd a Lambo :D |
Honestly the stripped interior killed it for me. Kids love Civic's because they are excellent project cars, and the interior and massive Tach is a turn off. All in all $1500 TOPS.
|
cracked windshield
no reverse needs axle needs tires Just because of this, i would say $1500. Only because in N.Y......i dont know about your state, this would fail the N.Y. inspection. |
Id definately say part it out and sell the shell, cuz I doubt you will be able to get 2000 for it....
|
Maybe even look for another car at least I would.
|
alright well thanks guys for the ideas, i hadnt even considered parting out til now.
|
yea, i would offer 1200 or around that area if i had the money to just throw around
|
I would put it up for 2,000 and give a little leadway for negotiation.
