Nice car. I think anyone would be happy to own something that so much time and effort went into.

However to be realistic our cars are generally worth more by selling off the performance parts and selling the car in its stock form...Guaranteed.

IMO buy something more "sophisticated" and keep the car around as a project.

Tad

you could probly get 5or6 for it,
you'd have to wait around awhile to find a buyer though.

well u might get lucky who knows, but there are more buyers out there looking for stock cars to mod themselves than already done deals.

nice car

id be way interested if you happen to be in my area

Yes I have been giving this a lot of thought. I could always keep it and use it as a daily driver. But I could also use the money towards a newer car. I know I have spent a lot of time, effort, sweat and tears into this car, but maybe its time to move on....

keep it if you like it man,

but remember, chances are you'll get bored of whatever you buy,
so if you keep that in mind, you can realize that you might actually still like the car, yo've just been thinking about it too much.

or just keep buyin new cars..

but hey man, screw "something newer"

EG's are classics

i would say around $6500. if you did sell it you would be better off returning it back to stock and selling it.

jerbear!

get rid of all the important goodies and sell it HIGH then work your way down.

If only I kept the D16....now Im kicking my self

What about trading it with some one who wants a set up like yours for a stock civic? I know there are people out there taht would do it. Hell if my wife would poop on my head I would in a heart beat plus a 1,000$ My civic is pretty much stock now just newer seats and a CAI, but it's an AUTOMATIC

How can a 4-1 header be a two piece?

HatchEG92

the 4 go to 1, thats one peice, then theres another peice that bolts to that which bolts to your exhaust...

I see. I thought it bolted together like how a 4-2-1 design does.

EGlovr

imo, its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. i cant see the pic; but from your description, i would say maybe about 4.5 - 5

sirminder

Oh well, I put them back. If they take the pics down, then be it. I cant find a simpler way with a reasonable time.

Imagestation is usually pretty good heres another site.

Nice car...It looks similar to mine almost!

ANYWAYS, I'd say if you sold the car "As-is," a good price to start at is about $5500. I would think it'd be easy for you to get maybe $6000~$6500 for it, but that's only if you sold it to someone who is familiar/an enthusiast in regards to Honda tuning and modifying...

Otherwise, most people who are looking for a "Normal" car (Ugh...!) would steer-clear of a modified vehicle. My co-workers like cars, but they don't want ANY headaches or side-thoughts in car repair/care...especially from a modified car such as your Civic.

Good luck, throw it into the Auto-Trader with something like $5500 OBO ("Or Best Offer") to get it sold...For sure, I'll be reading through it since I'm looking for a second car, BUT, as mentioned by other members, you could probably strip the car down to stock and sell those parts seperate and make a little more cash.

Good Luck!

I agree. The market is all over the place with hybrid cards. If it were me, I would clean it up and put it on ebay.
