(((BOOM)))

after many a long nights I found the following and purchased it:

2009 civic SI in alabaster silver
has a whopping 9,024 miles
has navigation, clean carfax, and some tasteful mods. I'd like to upload a photo but I haven't a clue as to what everyone's using.

My my question is, what's she worth? It's always been a southern and has zero rust. The person I purchased it from drove it round trip to work (3) miles one or two times a week.

Is that even enough to warm the engine up to operating temperature? Hope the oil was changed more often instead of less due to the potential sludging of no warm up operation.

If it helps, my 2007 Civic Si in Fiji Blue Pearl I paid the equivalent of 6500 Canadian. But it has 355,000 Kilometers. It also has $1000+ rims (Works Emotion XD-9 ) on it if I spend some cash to fix the curb rash, has Skunk2 Pro C coil overs, Pirelli rubber, HID kit, Injen cold air intake with water sock, Skunk2 mega power exhaust header and full 70mm exhaust with cat delete and FlashPro and almost fully tuned and Carbon Fiber roof wrap. Oh and PIAA highbeam bulbs and projector main lights.

I think I got a steal, but others were scared of the mileage at that price so I took it off my friends hands.

(((BOOM)))

Yeah that's a whole heap of miles. I don't know what a real world value would be. Check the books and market values ,but they are all over the place. I didn't know if this would be something desireable with such low miles or if it would just be better for me to keep it and make a clean daily driver.

It's an Si and first civic with a K series... That low mileage, I would definitely say collector status.

However, for collection, it needs to go back to 100% stock.

As for mine, I've been told the k series are pretty close to bullet proof so the mileage doesn't bother me. It helps that I think it's been garaged every winter until this one. If the engine finally gives out, I rebuild it for a couple of grand and the car is back to being worth 9-12,000. Oh yeah, and I forgot it also came with the TWM short shifter kit and Skunk2 shift ***. For me all the extras come close to equaling the 5K cash I paid. The base car only cost me my blown head gasket 95 civic dx with Si swap (D16Z6) (maybe 1200 value?).
