I think your problem is that you actually have two problems in your hands... location and the fact that it has mods. A carlikeyours (minus the mods) sells for about8,500 excellent condition. Plus, with the dent (although it may be 'easy' to fix) it kills the value of the car down to about6,500. This kind of gives me an idea that your values are probably about 1,000 less than my area, so your car in its condition could only sell for about 5,500 in its condition... not good for you. Many people won't want a civic that will ride the way you have it set-up as they have a good idea a stock will be more comfortable but it is a car that people look for as a commuter car. If you really feel the need to sell it make it stock again and fix that dent, because it sounds like the parents of whoever you are trying to sell it to are going to have to front the bill, and they won't pay for something that is modded the way yours is.
Just for the future, this is kind of the reason you shouldn't mod a car that you still owe money on. If emergencies pop-up and you needgetrid of it, it is a lot easier to pawnin stock condition.Not only that, but financing a car in anyway is one of the worstdecisions you can makeand you shouldalways buy a car that you can afford up front so you don't end up paying more than it's worth in the long run.

LOL. Who ever said that financing a car was a bad idea and you should only purchase a car that you can afford up front doesn't live in reality! That may be good for a car that only 5K, but try getting a decent newer car, and i would like to see that happen.
