i have a 97 civic ex coupe. its got 103k on it, its white, the body is like 8.5/10 few dings, nothin much tho. tinted, dropped on konis and g/c, buddy club 16 inch rims, megan exhaust, mugen poly front lip, all new speakers, pioneer head unit, ctr shift boot, accord shift ****, amber guages, cleared headlights, square fogs, and turbocharged with an autoworks manif/d/p, street tuned, cold a/c and p/s.

car is super clean, the turbo install is also super clean, all quality parts have been used.

i'm not definately going to sell it, but if i could get like 7-8k for it i probably definately would. so what do u guys think i can get for it?

here is a pic of it before it was turbod, just imagine a front mounte behind the grill in between the fogs

IMO i would say 5k max

pjr710

My friend just bought a stock 98 EX Coupe in mint condition for $3.5k

I was so pissed cuz I would have bought it on the spot.

modifications do not add value to your civic.

ever heard the saying "a rose by any other name still smells as sweet"?

"a honda with any other parts...still an entry level econobox"

=P

sageuvagony

Mods actually de-value a car

For 8k I could get a 97 BMW 325i Convertible

which is why everyone parts out their car before they sell it.

you might be able to get away with 6k if you find the right buyer.


im glad everyone agrees with me

pjr710

yea partin it out would be better .. i'll just keep it for now tho

deadazleep

u could prolly do 6 or alittle better, i got 5500 for my 99 ex with 30k miles more and with basically bolt ons, lowered and rims. but i'ld definatly look into parting it out if ur have all the stock parts

devney

I would just put it up and take offers. Only way you will know. Or find out what KBB is, raise it a little maybe. That's about where it should be probably.

turbojdmhatch

do what everyone does if its "not for sale" but someone does want to buy it sell it for like 500 less than what u put into it. since that makes it so u have to go out and look for another car since you were not planning on selling it in the first place. if the car is "for sale" i would say $5.5k tops for the car. its not like it is a 12 second car with top notch turbo parts. or u could do what devney said KBB it and bump it up half the price which u paid for mods into it

pjr710

naw motor is not blown, i might part out my turbo kit and get a fukin lexus gs300

IMO i would not fix the engine,have fun blowing it up then drop a fresh b-series motor.you can get one at a fair price if you sell all your turbo stuff

pjr710

yea i'm thinking it might be time to sell my 2 month used turbo ****

alphalanos

keep it. its worth more to you.

TorquelessB16A2

wtf are you haters smoking????

Looks clean as hell, turbo, tuned, still has a/c and p/s. There's PLENTY of teenagers out there who would ****** this up for $7k, I see it all the time. Put it on ebay, it'll sell.

the only thing that detracts from it is that the appearance has been modded which not everyone will appreciate.

^ I got my 98 sedan mint with 35k miles in Hawaii (where everything's expensive) for $7k dude. All stock. This guy's car has 103k miles, motors going bad, not stock, and 8.5/10 condition. I doubt anyone's gonna pay 7 grand for it

pjr710

i'm w/ torqueless .. to u guys tha car might not be worth much, but i know i could find some younger kid that would love to have a nice turbod civic like this for like 7k

sageuvagony

or, for that much I could buy one of these!!!! 7 grand is way too much

I got my 93 Si hatch, B16A3, chipped p30 integra leather, and all stock exterior for 3 even, because it was modified. It had low mileage too, under 50K to be exact. If it would've been all stock it would've been 5 even because it was a clean title.


Honestly, nobody's going to ****** for $7K.

Well anybody in their right mind.

But like everybody said, keep it, its worth more if you just keep it. Kind of like sentimental value. :D
