I'm thinking about selling my car and I'd like to know what everyone thinks it is worth.

1997 Honda Civic HB - 192K on car
97 JDM ITR swap with ~ 70k miles on it
JDM 4-1 Header
Spoon Engine Mounts
Spoon Thermo and fan switch
Fluidyne Radiator
Exedy Stage 1 clutch and 9 lb flywheel -- Just installed in 2-06
New plugs, wires, cap rotor, timing belt all done at same time of clutch.
Buddy club spec III exhaust and omnipower test pipe -- About 2 months old
Power Enterprise Vtec and A/F controller with tach

Body is stock but needs painted, clear coat is coming off and needs a headliner.
I have some pics but don't know how to load them.

Interior:
Nothing special, prelude seats is about it

ICE:
Pioneer Head Unit about a year old
Polk speakers front and rear, no sub

Basically, just picture a stock EK hatch that needs painted and has this swap. I seen one of these go for $2100 last week with the stock engine and 250K on the odometer with bad paint also. Just curious to see what everyone thinks it might be worth. I have a number in my head that I won't let it go for less than, need to pay off some bills and put money back for a house. Thanks for your opinions.

* Not interested in selling parts individually

Mark said the same thing...sell the Scion... It only has 8k on it though and I do like the car, it's just a turd. I love the civic, don't get me wrong. I just don't want to be living where I'm at for the next few years so I want to pay off bills quick.

Any resonable offers?

 

If you want to get rid of the bills, why not keep the car that's paid for?

That's why I drive a '91 Integra with over 200k miles on it.

 

dont sell the ek thats a straight sleeper.

 

4.5 - 6k IMO.

I thought about that. Truth is I way overpaid for the TC. Got the options I wanted yada yada. It was my first new car. I make good money and at the time it seemed like a good idea. It wasn't though.

The only option I see about getting rid of the TC would be to trade it in on a new car and whatever they didn't pay have tacked on to the new loan, which would only slightly drop my payment on a cheaper vehicle. If there are other options, I'm all ears. I'm not the greatest with money. I need to start saving for a house. I'm tired of living with people!

Thanks for the opinions and suggestions! Keep em coming!

You should take your golf game pro! That should reel in some money.

 

i'd say 5gs bro...maybe if your paint was better and you had a 99-00 front end conversion it would be worth more...

 

Trading in a nearly brand new car is like bending over in a prison shower, you know its a bad deal for you so why do it. If you wanna get rid of a car, sell it privately, I would NEVER trade in a spanking car. Now car dealers do have offers, where you can trade in ANY car that drives and they'll give ya like 3k trade in for it towards a new car (thats ok with me)

That's about what I was expecting. Somewhere around 5-5.5 I don't expect to get all my money back. You never do, but I'd like to try for $5500.

 

get a cheap paint job and sell it for 7k

 

DIY paintjob

I'd consider that if I had a place to do it. I don't though.

If someone could pm with how to do it I'll post pics of the car so everyone has a better idea.

Before work bump! ^^^

 

where you located? id give you 5500 for it

 

pfft.. you can get at least 7000 for that *friendly nudge*

 

I still say keep the hatch.

I've seen used tCs going for OVER 17k.

People are ******* tools. If you really want to get rid of it, you stand a VERY good chance of just about breaking even on it.

 

you could make more money selling the swap and the selling the car stock... still got the original engine?

sounds about right....7 at the most.

 

Send me the pics and I'll load them for you. I still don't understand why you would sell a car you love just to keep a car you like!

No I don't have the original engine. My friend has one though and I did think about doing it that way. Still tossing ideas around.

 

you would be getting robbed selling that for $5,500. that swap alone is worth 4,000. the shell is worth bout 1,000 (w/o motor). Sell your exhaust to some local and add 200 to the price of the swap for the spoon mounts. Bad idea anyway you look at it.

 

Bump for pictures, they are at the top.
