ok i just got a rust free 1989 Civic Si that i spent a $1000 on. A friend of mine wants to trade me for a 1996 Acura Integra LS Silver with black leather in perfect shape
What should i do???Opinions welcome

 

keep the civic

 

trade... sell the Integra and buy a nicer Ef and you"ll have money for mods

 

What a stupid qustions. Trade for the Integra! Way better car and faster too. And newer. And like 457 other things.

 

This would be a tough decision for me personally. The Integra could be resold to most people for more money, but you'd have a hard time finding another good rust free '89 Civic Si.

It depends on what you're looking for. If you just want a comfortable, dependable daily driver, go for the Integra. If you're an "EF" fan and/or into motorsports, you'd probably prefer the Civic.

"Way better car" is a matter of perspective and needs. I could actually put an '89 Civic to much better use than an OBD-2 Integra. The MY89 ED7 is the must-have car for SCCA STS-class autocrossing; no Integra can currently beat it on a national level, and it's cheaper to run. A clean and rust-free example is also worth a lot of money - in some rare cases, more than the Integra would be. I'd personally pay more for a clean, rust-free, unmolested white '89 Civic Si than I'd pay for the Integra. Obviously someone else agrees with me, or else they wouldn't be offering their Integra on trade for his car.

"Faster"? No, actually they have proven to be roughly the same.

 

Take the teg, drive it for a bit till you find a car you absolutely have to have, then see if you can trade that teg for the car you want. Or sell it and buy a next car when you choose to.

 

where could you find a 96 Ls for 1,000?

What does that have to do with anything?

A rust free '89 Civic Si is not worth $1000, particularly in the rust belt. I'd pay $1000 for just the shell alone with nothing on it but doors, brake lines, and fuel lines . . .

 

only trade if the teg is a 5 speed otherwise I say keep the civic...ill trade the guy my civic hb with d16a6 and si trans for his teg

A rust free '89 Civic Si is not worth $1000, NO **** ITS WORTH $500

 

its from a friend that loves ef's
i love them to but i've had ten of them (not all si's)and never paid over $1500
but ya it's tough to decide because i'm fairly loyal to my ef's

 

Trade it and boost the Ls. I know how you feel about the Ef but you'll get the same experience in a integra, if not a better experience.

 

i would trade for the teg, in a heartbeat!

 

Get the teg and sell it and get somthing else

 

keep the EF!!!! deffinetly integras are over rated, save up 200 dollars and put an ls motor in the ef same thing but will beat the integra in most cases ef's are kooler in my point of view, if someone says turbo the ls turbo the d15 just as easy or what ever lol flip a coin...

It's obvious that you've never lived in the rust belt.

 

Try to put it on CL and see how much you could get! I'd say if it's rust free in good condition, you can get at least $2k no joke!

Here's an example. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/car/263954395.html

 

i would look at it this way, why does this person want to trade, its because hell have a mint civic he could just do a swap in and it would be sick, plus integras are everywhere i tink i see like 15 every time i drive somewere and i dont even look at them, but if a nice ef drove by i deffenitly would be checkin it out, just my opinion

 

i would keep the ef and just swap an engine in it

 

or turbo

 

well i decided to trade and if i need to i'll trade down the road. As for now i am gonna try and see what can be done with the ls on a limited budget and see if i like the integra.
BUT I AM NOT A TRAITOR I STILL LOVE EF'S

You've got to do what you think is best for your needs. Good luck with the Integra

 

KEEP the crx

They are harder to find

more tegs have been sold and more peeps are willing to get rid of them

Think about it,, you buddy wants to trade that nice teg for your CRX
It must be worth keeping then

It was a Civic HB Si....If it was a CRX for a Teg then he would be dumb because a 2nd gen CRX is like the "69 Camaro" of civic based cars imo
