$500 dollar eg. Worth it?
I have a friend that has a white 1992 Civic cx hatchback. it has no motor, the body doesnt really have an <U>un</U>dented panel on it. It has stock HX wheels, decent interior, jdm cluster, spoon mirrors, and thats about it.
He wants 500 bucks for the car. I was thinking of just buying it and reselling it once i put a motor in it. Would it be worht more to part out, then sell the shell?? It does have a clear title.
Just looking for opinions and suggestions on what to do with this thing.. It is a white cx and i knew they used to be wanted.....

i guess it depends on if you want it. its not often you come around a shell for 500. imo i wouldnt pay that for it.

Parting out a car sucks *****...
You end up with the carcas chillin in your garage or back yard until you get the parts off. And the parts take up a TON of room. Plus, you keep telling yourself you'll be able to sell something that sits on the shelf for a couple years before you throw it away.
If it's complete and not rusty, fix it up. Throw in a Z6 swap, pop a couple dents, hit it with some bondo, and paint it. Rock it as the daily only having $1500 or less into it...

Ya, the last one i bought for 800 bucks ended up looking like this when i was done.
I spent a bit of money on it, but it turned out really nice.
I was just trying to get a feel if the car is worthr 500 bucks....

Re: (Lscivic1999)
i bought a hatch for 200 and it sounded exactly like what ur talking about. needless to say it turned out to be a damn nightmare. but my hatch had more issues than i was told. now i know why people call um gremlins. i hated that friggin thing. i fixed one thing another thing went wrong. put a motor in it cleaned the bay up realy nice checked all the wires on the engine harness and neatened it up a bit and then i go to turn it over only to see some sparks from under the dash. well the guy before me sliced into the ignition wire and it was resting on a piece of metal and it blew the entire interior harness to poop. just check it out before u buy it. u could make some money with it or keep it. i say go fo it

Where are you located?
I think you could sell the interior, JDM cluster, spoon mirrors, and HX's for about 500 once all is said and done. Not to mention you have a few other things. I would do it. Parting out a car could be fun.

$500 for a shell isnt to bad.Depending on how bare it is.Some people in cali sell shells for over 2k,but those are shells that are complete and just need a motor.I even see shells that are junk go for $800.If its fairly clean,i dont think $500 is to bad.
