Purchasing cars and parts is a part of tech imo. I don't see the harm in having them as threads in the tech forum. If people don't want to read it it will fall down the ranks anyway. Or maybe the marketplace section should be subdivided into vehicle categories as the tech forums are (if they are not already).

I have a question of my own for this topic.

I've got a 1997 DX coupe, milano red, 165k. I've had the car for 5 years and it's time to move on.

The good:

Paint/exterior look really nice. A few scratches here and there, NO RUST. D16Y7 runs great, no CELs, pretty much stock all around, cold AC, GSR fat fives with Dunlop Direzza, about 75-80% tread at least, pretty nice speakers/head unit.

The bad:

The transmission isn't good, grinds frequently 3rd, 4th and 5th and some pop outs. Salvage title. I got in a wreck right after I bought it (I was in high school back then), totalled it, got all the work done, full fresh paint and everything. Looks good, no problems related to the wreck for the last 5 years/50,000 miles.



Is it reasonable that I'm hoping to get about $2k for this, or not at all? If not, what can I look for?

Other thoughts are welcomed!
