First, I know this should be placed in the classified section, but I want to get some opinions first before putting it there. Im trying to sell my car because I want to take care of some important financial things. Car is a Civic Si 2000 with 90 K on it.
It has a salvage title becuase it got hit at the right rear quarter panel. All is fixed. Car runs like new with tranny recently replaced, new stage 1 clutch kit, new Brembo blank rotors w/ PBR pads, new tires, and a Skunk 2 dual bend short shifter installed. Also the car has a new paint job. I probably put about 3,200 dollars into the car since I bought it for 9,000. How much you think someone will pay for this car, and how much should I sell it for?

If someone would be kind enough to carfax this me it would be great, becuase I would like to know the full history of the car. Here are some pics...

 

Since it's salvaged i don't think you'll get too much for it. I'd say start with 5500. I would think that's even high for a salvaged car. Good luck

I'd say try to sell it first for 9000 and drop to 8500 if it doesn't sell too well.

Or you could try 10500 if your girl is included with the deal.

Depends on your insurance. Some insurance companies won't even carry collision insurance on a car with a salvage title.

Your car won't sell for more than $6500, unless you find someone stupid to buy it. The salvage title kills the deal. I sold my clean, stock '00 Si with a good title and 77,000 miles for $8900 last year, and that's about the max I would pay for an EM1 these days.

Unfortunately for you, your cars condition is poor based on the salvage title. it says you need an independant appraisal. $5500 is probably right

If i were you I wouldnt sell it unless its your weekend fun car and you have something else to drive around. Having your girlfriend drive you places is not good.

 

i say keep it. its clean!
better of just keeping it bc its hard to sell a car with value with a messed up title

 

Your lucky if you get 8 out of it.

Thanks guys for the input. I'll keep it for a daily beater.

 

How much for the girl in the passenger seat?

I see your 2 grand and raise you 2,000.01

 

Yeah..it sucks but If I had that car..i couldnt bear to watch it be sold for like 6 grand.

You might as well just keep it, its too fun of a car to get rid of that cheap.

Good luck with whatever you end up doing though. If i had the money..i'd LOVE to give you 7 grand for that car.

 

Why would you want to sell that car? Keep it

nah, you could easily get way more than 5,500 for that.


clean SI, you should keep it

 

i wouldn't pay more thna 6 for it, but i wouldn't buy a car with a bad title anyways

sooo good luck

 

i'll take you rear lip if you part it out. pm me :-)

 

$6g's if a blow job is included from that chick in the passenger seat...Prolly give you $8g if the chick is included ...as someone else mentioned hah..

and if not, I'll at most give you $4Gs for the car.... it is salvaged...

cuz nowadays...you can buy a clean title EJ8 D16 for like $4-5gs in good condition... and my homie got a EJ8 coupe D16Y8 w/ greddy turbo and IC and bunch of gauges...all for $3300.. clean title too

 

I got the same Si but Electron blue and its SALVAGED due to THEFT. Never been in an accident. I bought it for 6500 with a JDM B16A motor. You guy think thats a good deal?

 

Oh, I forgot to mention. The interior and exterior is in PERFECT condition.

 

it's sad but true, cars with salvage title sell for no more than 40% of the value of the same car with a clear title.

Also, it makes no difference how much you put in to it, that money is lost.
I put over 7K in my hatch on top of what I paid for it, but if I were to sell it now, I wouldn't even get what I paid for it stock (and mine has a clean title).

But look at it this way, you had it, and you had fun with it... every hobby cost money

This man speaks the truth. This is just how cars are. I say keep it...

 

Ok guys I get it. I am going to keep the car. Thanks again.

 

I'd spend more than 2 000 for the car and for the chick...

Combo I'd pay a bunch.

But the car with those miles I think is worth..........6,000 no less.
