How much is it worth, and do you want it!
I thought I would come ask you EF guys what you thought my car was worth because Im thinking of selling it, and it's more of an "ef guy" car. It's a grey 1991 civic DX. Minimal rust, its from Minnesota so it's bound to have some. The condition/mods are as follows:
194K miles on chassis
New rotors and brakes
New shoes
New battery
New transmission
New CV axel (pass)
Rebuilt distributor
New timing belt
New OEM headgasket
Maybe some more stuff I cant think of right now
On to the good stuff
Engine:
1998 d16y8 motor with 60K miles on it, car is swapped to obd1 with a p28
Homemade IHI turbo kit by me
2" charge piping/2.5 Inch custom exhaust with high flow cat, mid pipe resonator, and turbo muffler (sounds GREAT btw)
DSM SMIC
DSM BOV
VAFC
450cc DSM injectors with new seals
ARP Headstuds
Adjustable FPR with gauge
All the turbo stuff is in good condition doesnt leak or burn any oil, the turbo is in very good condition
Interior:
1991 Civic Si seats in completely MINT condition, the nicest I have ever seen
Si gauge cluster
ITR shift ****
Exterior:
JDM Vis CF hood
15" bronze Rota Slipsteams with Nitto Tires (new)
KYB gr2 struts with cheapo coilovers
What it needs/is wrong with it:
Alignment and a camber kit if you want to because its lowered without either
Drivers side upper ball joint
It makes this click noise sometimes in reverse that I have never figured out in the 2 1/2 years I owned the car, dont know what it is.
The Cf hood is cracked up in some spots because it flew up and smashed the windshield on my friends car.
Here is a quick pic of it with different wheels on it, but basically how it looks.


This isnt a for sale post, im just seeing what you guys think it would bring me. But if you ARE interested in it, send me a pm. Thanks.

if i was gonna buy that car i would pay you 1500-2200.
if that was my dream car like some people on here probly pay 2500-3500. depends on how your sales skills are
some people will wait for a good deal even if they like the car. but other people will pay more than the car is worth if they really like the car, tired of searching, and care more about convenience than money. i'm half and half but i dont like these cars as much so thats why my offer is low because I wouldnt care if you sold it to me or not(you want to avoid those type of people). look for kids who are buying their first car and we all been through it when you really want something you dont care about anything except get it! get it!

yeah thats why I said its more of an "ef guy" car, someone that likes or is interested in ef's. Everyone that likes these hatches usually gives me two thumbs up for my ride, your everyday person thinks its an econo box.
I believe the pewter gray metallic hatches are semi-rare, i was really f*ck*ng excited when i saw a gray 91 EF (pianted bumpers) for 1500 with 140000 miles (so i went i bought it immediately). i paid 1500 cash in full. i would expect you could at least get 2000 for it, also market like california etc. will draw bigger offers, don't settle for anything less than 2g's. EF enthusiasts will especially be willing to pay reasonable dollar.

The car really has everything done to it, I'd try to get at minimum $2500 for it. If the seats are truly mint I'd sell them separate if you have something to replace them for like $250, ppl go nuts for mint si seats.

if you pay that much i would not complain, if that is the original color you are getting a fairly rare hatch...color wise
