Hey all Ive been into VW's for a while now but a couple of my friends may have convinced me to get a honda...

One of my friends knows someone who is selling a 93 Civic Hatchback with a 98 GSR motor in it. GSR interior, lowered, couple bolt ons, rims, all that good stuff.
Hes asking $5000 for it. Do you guys think thats a good price for such a car?

 

Maybe if it's REALLY clean.. Figure the swap alone is like $1800, plus labor and the car + bolt ons.. sounds about right..

a gsr swap is more expensive than that.

If it runs well, no smoke, no funny noises, doesn't look like its been beat on too hard, $5k is good.

 

thanks for the imput guys

 

If its clean and hasn't been beat on, I'd hop on a deal like that if I were you

everyone beats on there car lol, why else swap for a better to engine?

 

Hell yeah! A GSR complete changeover on hmotorsonline is like $3,600 so it doesn't sound like a bad deal at all depending on how much he has beat on it.

 

Sounds good

 

5 grand is a hella good price considering the gsr

 

IMO its a steal considering a complete swap including labor will cost you 4k or more and the interrior pluss seats and the shell u do the math. I wouldnt pass on that specially now that B series engines are becoming more expensive. Supply and Demand is ganna make the prices of these engines insane. BUY IT

 

i may not kno much about cars but i find it strange that b series are gettin more expensive. i just sold a b18a motor that was knocking for a bill hah. but then id think people would actually try to go for the k series and get rid of their b series

Well K-Series will soon be more popular.. but currently there hella expensive... the engine IMO, is decently price its just everything else you need to buy will be a bigger grand total then you expect...

 

sounds good. i had a vw for a bit . i couldnt stand it, i will never go back to vw. i &lt;3 my honda. but definitally go for that deall, u'll love vtec

 

Its a good deal jump on it.

 

I'd buy it as long as it was in great shape and not smoking/leaking all over the place.

WHAT?!?!? $3,600.00 for a OBD1 swap?!? Damn!! I think I'll keep my coupe a little longer then..

I'm going to build a B20 V-Tec in a minute.. long crower rods, SRP forged pistons and run it N/A.. I wonder how much my honda'd sell with that engine in it for..

 

You can get a good b18c1 swap for around 2500 if you look guys


My advice, buy it

 

No $hit.. I bought my 95 B18C1 with 52k miles, complete with harness for $1200.. Deals are out there.. You just have to bitch slap the skeemers..

 

your going to have to ask yourself a lot of questions before you even think about buying the car. unless you can make the repairs. in my experience majority of my friends buy cars with swaps in it some good some bad. but the bad ones you have to becareful because you can run into future problems such as wiring, smog, drivablity, etc. all that stuff. i mean yes it is a good deal because you get the car and you get a swap but you have to take in consideraton. why the guy did the swap? did he take care of it? are there any future or potential problems? its just like buying a used car with alittle more caution. i hope that helps.
