Hey guys names Winston i actually wanted to ask some people with experience with civics if it would be worth buying one a relative is selling me their 2000 Civic EX for $2,000 the setback is that its auto :-\ is there anyway to swap the tranny and about how much this will set me back?

 

hi, welcome to the forum.

i like the price. i say go for it. buy that civic.

in terms of changing the tranny just swap it with a manual tranny, the clutch parts, and the flywheel. i would go to a good shop for that though.

 

Welcome to the forum!

And um, a 2000 EX for 2 grand? There's a catch somewhere.

How many miles? What condition is it in? Accidents?

If it's all good though, buy it and do a tranny swap, it'll still be cheaper than getting any other '00 EX that's worth driving.

 

WELCOME! ya 2k is pretty cheap, find out all the specs and maybe have it inspected and whatnot. it is possible to do a tranny swap but it wont be cheap nor easy. like amg said, it will prolly still be cheaper than buying another car...prolly best to have it professionally done.

 

i think someone he knows is selling him the car..but that is dirt cheap, if the body is great and the motor has alot of km's..you can swap it out for a almost brand new motor, then your set

welcome!

 

Welcome to HCF. Well for starters the book value on that car is more than $2000 so in my opinion I say go for it. I would figure out why I'd be getting the car for such a steal though. If it's in good shape I would suggest a CAI, headers, and exhaust for starters. Then maybe if you have your heart set on it putting in that manual transmission.

 

Welcome to the forums, you gotta love family like that. Enjoy your stay!

 

well the car has 110k miles on it bodys perfect everything works fine im guessin my aunts just being nice lol around how much would a manual tranny cost?

 

since auto trannies are worth more than manual trannies, there's a shop around here that will do it for only labor cost, see if you can find anyone around you that does that.
