my hatch took a crap on the highway the other day it was a 89 dx with 235,000 miles on it. i cracked the head. my parents want me to sell the car. should i part it out or sell as a whole with the messed up motor. Currently I have...

Interior:
Crx Si front seats
Civic SiR rear seats with headrests
SI door panels
SI rear panels
Crx Si dash
Si middle console with ebrake

Exterior:
SiR front bumper with turnsignals
New white paint
Skunk 2 catback exhaust

What would you guys do. I am currently out of a job and dont have money to swap.

 

Rebuild stock motor, or find a stock motor and put it in. THey are dirt cheap.

 

If the body is in good condition part out the car and sell the shell

 

No money at all? What are you gonna do with the money after you part it out?

 

with the money i get from it i am saving for san fransisco this summer im living there for 3 months and need 2 gs to help my girlfriend with rent. the body is no rust.

Gotta agree with CRX Toad, the OEM motor is dirt cheap and would only take a few hours to swap out and get running. Needing money sucks but I'll bet if you sell it now you will regret it later especially since you already have a nice start to it, think how much it would cost you to build this car again??? I only WISH I would not have sold my '88 CRX Si back in '99 so just think about it HARD. Good luck

I hate to tell you but you aren't going to get enough money out of it to live in San Fran. Just being honest.

 

Lol the only advice you're gonna get on this board is to keep the car.

lol!

 

yeah. well i have decided to part everything out and sell the shell. so if anyone wants the parts listed or any other parts on the car.e-mail me with offers.... savicza1@calumet.purdue.edu

 

I will let you know, my buddys DX HB needs as much Si interior as possible.

 

would i get more money selling the car as a whole on ebay with the head fucked or should i strip it and sell everything seperate

 

a d16a6 can be had for 200-300 dollars. if you dont have 300 bucks, sell some parts such as your seats if u have the old ones and use the money towards the engine.

 

Sell it as a whole....especially if it isn't salvage title.

 

I'd keep it. You'll regret it later.

But, since you've already decided to sell/part it out, I would try to sell it as a whole. Parting it out you may get more money but since you can't sell each part all at once, you'll end up selling something one day and others on another day getting money here and there and any moeny you get will get spent no matter how hard you try to save it. Trust me.

 

you just started this project and you are already flaking out on it. sell it and leave the site. we hate to see failures such as yourself.

 

i might have a cheap a6 head if you give me a day or two

 

leave the site??? because i am in a financial bind and dont have a job right now to fix it? sorry Im not rich and can do a kswap at the moment. what a hater seriously. this ef has cost me too much money and I need a vehicle that runs so I am parting it out no reason to be an *** and say I should leave the site WTF! If anyone wants to buy the car im me at aim aixadamaix

I am sorry to hear that you will be parting her out. Hopefully someone will pick her up whole.

why are you paying for your girlfriends rent???

 

we are going half on rent. my half is 2000 bucks and i am just going to use the money from this to pay my half. and if u got 1500 and want the whole car e-mail me

 

hey man i like that exhaust is it a cat back or just axle back how much?

 

wtf are you renting.... 2000 split 50/50........ I mean damn.....

And i probally wouldnt pay 1500 for that though
