Default 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 **** 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.

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.

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.

Its just how the light is hitting it. I thought someone might ask.

Im not trying to bash your car knowledge or anything(seriously) but the car really is on par with a WRX, back when i first got it and wasnt to familiar with the car i raced one and stuck right with it. and like i said, my one friend has one and admitted my car was faster.

you have to remember that some ppl are scared of modification, so a stock car can go for more than yours.
unfortunately i know im gonna have to find a car enthusiast or dumb kid to buy the car. preferably another enthusiast but itll probably endup being a dumb kid lol.

btw thanks for all the responses, i posted this up on another civic forum and noone said ****.
