Default My friend wants to trade me his car plus 3k...

So here is his car...

Car:
1992 Honda Civic HatchBack 180k miles
Exterior: White
Interior: Blue/Black
Clean Title
Condition:
Paint- 8 out of 10
interior- 8 out of 10
body- 2 minor dings on passenger side
Motor:
1997 JDM Type R 35,000 miles (FRESH)
Dynamic 4-1 header stainless steal (Bronze)
Apex Power Intake
Greedy exhaust piping
Apex N1 Muffler- Mini Gunmetal
Erics Racing Ecu Chip 5,600RPM vtec

always used mobile 1 synthetic

Suspension:
96-97 JDM ITR 4 lug swap (4x114.3)
96-97 JDM ITR wheels 15" white
96-97 JDM ITR front/rear sway bars
Apex N1 Type Pros (4 months old)
Kumho 712's 75% tread

Interior:
98 JDM ITR Recaros (Black)
Mugen Shift **** (Black)
JDM SiR II Guage Cluster
Pioneer Head Unit
Black Floor Mats

Exterior:
EX/SI front lip
Vision Amber Corners
JDM taillights
JDM side markers (not installed)

Misc:
Mugen Resvoir Socks
Mugen Oil Cap (gold)
Mugen Radiator Cap

Overall:
this car is really clean for a 92, i havent had any problems with it at all the motor pulls hard and the car handles nice, im selling it cuz i can no longer afford to put money into it becuz i have to start school soon...ill be sad to see it go...this car has so much potential if its in the right hands!

Here is the link for pics... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=954645

for my car... which is a 99 Milano Red Si with 85k miles on it. Very very clean paint, washed every week. A few dings here and there but you can barely notice them. I would give the condition of the car a 9.2 out of 10.

Mods:
Tein SS coil overs
Recaro Speed
dymamic 4-1 jdm header
apexi power intake
apexi n1 turbo muffler with mendrel bent 2.25 inch piping
A-tech final speeds in 15x7 wrapped in kumho ecxsta mx tires almost brand new like 500 miles on them.
Skunk 2 weighted shift ****.

pics:









The thing is his car does not pass smog, and my parents are realy **** about doing everything the "right way" meaning the car passes smog and the car is atleast a 9 out of 10.

what do you guys think?

K every one sorry about this post, but I realized I would not be able to trade becuase my car is not paid off, thus if I did trade I would be left with a car payment for a car I don't even have..So ya it's not worth it for me..

smog wont be a problem, you would just have to put alil work into the car. new header (stock would be best for smog or DC), stock USDM ITR ECU, and then convert to OBDII

haha im in the same situation right now.. I'll post mine up..
My car.. 99 Si with 86k (8.5 outta 10 i'd say), sunk2 coil overs, koni yellows, itr rear sway bar, dynomax exaust, gsr fat fives, gsr cams, b&m short shifter. for my friends car
94 del sol vtec, 45k miles, custom t3/t4 turbo kit, sunk2 valve train, all bars are upgraded (sway), sunk2 coil overs, kyb shocks. out of a 10 i'd rate his car as a 9.6 its like immacualte in and out. He wants 10.5k for it.. You guys think I should do this? I think im gonna try to sell my car for 10.5k and then just hand the money over to him.

i would just keep the SI, its looks nice, also if u want more power just turbo it or NOS!!!!!!!
I would trade an SI for a hatch just because its a trendy thing to do. dont join the bandwagon and try to make yourself a fast SI, be different.

id do it in a heartbeat. if hes giving you $3000 and a car worth $7000, im sure you could it smogged for some of the $3k your putting in your pocket. thats why ca sucks (emissions wise).....come to the east coast where we just pollute for the hell of it...

Why is HE giving YOU $3,000? IMO, straight trade. I wouldn't give up a C5 powered hatch for an Si, IMO.

Seriously man, his car sounds hella cool compared to yours, no offense. I would take the hatch in an instant, plus 3k lol. There is either something he is not telling you about his car and or he is crazy.

My car isn't worth half of **** compared to over 3/4 the cars on here. Stock as they come. Wasn't comparing my car to the Si, so, reading comprehension ownz j00! But for real. A C5 hatch plus lots of goodies PLUS $3,000 for a clean Si. Not too modified though. Something smells fishy.

I wouldn't do a trade. I'm pretty sure after some time and more money your car would be better then his.

IMO, I would never trade my coupe for a hatch.
No matter how clean or fantastic the hatch is.
