kinda been thinking about selling the R, thing is its not doen being fixed
so i was wondering if it be worth it to finish fixing it, or maybe see how much i could get for it the way it sits

quick rundown

75,000 miles
clean title

thing is the motor has a spun rod bearing i think, comes with the complete engine, and trans, all is currently removed from the car, ready to be rebuilt
engine is bone stock
comes with spoon n1 rear section, with silencer

exterior
has a jdm type r hid front end conversion
spoon mirrors
s2k antenna
front end conversion is not painted its still white, rest of car is phoenix yellow

suspspension
16'' silver Regamaster Evos, with brand new yokohama parada spec2's
tein stech spring
also have stock springs
stock shocks
all oem itr susp pieces in place, oem strut bar and sways
includes super rare jdm itr rear strut bar
will include new front rotors also

interior is complete except for rear seats
and comes with mint red jdm itr recaros

car is totally complete only thing missing is the rear seats


heres a few pics


car was never driven with the stock lug nuts on the wheel, hell the car was never driven with these wheels on the car, iv got a set of aftermarket lug nuts that will come with the car




i have a price im lookin for in my mind, and i know how much $ it whould take to get car in perfect condition again, if i can get how much im lookin for i will sell the way it sits

 

9-11 as is... 13-15 fixed up.

 

^^^Agreed, even less if the title is not clean...if the buyer is a diy'er, you *might* get 11k for it. Realistically, around 9k. It will take quite a bit of cash to refresh that car.

its not goin to take that much to get it goin again
maybe 800 for paint
1000 to rebuild the motor
and 200 for back seats and the car is done


now id think the car is worth 16-17k all fixed and ready to go
so whouldnt you think
16k, minus 2k to fix=14k, minus say 1k for your trouble=13k the way it sits


is my math crazy?

very crazy. Nobody wants to pay premium prices for something that needs that much work. 800 for paint?? For a crappy paint job. To get it done right and to look oem, you're talking 2,000 bucks. Who is to say the front end job was good...that may need to be redone also.

What if someone gets the engine rebuilt/replaced and finds the trans is all messed up also! There's so many hidden things with a car like this that makes it hard to sell it for a good price. Id say 9-10 as is, 14-15 fixed up(if it's as good as OEM)

 

I've seen the car a few times in the past, its described accurately, but I think it would be close to $2k to have someone rebuild the motor, maybe $1K to get the front painted/blended. Seat are a couple hundred, so I'd say his guess of $3k is right, but I don't see it selling to $13,000. There are higher mileage basically stock drivable examples going for less. It would need to be a complete car to command over $11,000.

 

forget about selling it and finish your project.

 

you can't take the price of what the car should sell for and minus exactly what it would cost to fix....it never works that way.
It doesn't even matter anyways..I'm not buying it, and I don't think anyone else is going to pay 10+ for a car that doesn't even have an engine in it

Sell the rims to reduce the rebuild cost, do some prepwork for the paint, and a full detail, it'll be good to go.

 

i dont really want to sell it, i was just seeing if it were possible to get the amount that i wanted, ill just end up selling my ek and prelude, and fix the itr, and get a tsx as a daily

sounds like a plan, do it already.

 

It's worth...

the blood, sweat, tears, hours and frusteration!!!

DO IT... KEEP IT!!!

 

if u have come this far...y stop now...im just about done with my shell ive had for 3 years...

 

i hear ya guys, i do want to fix, its just hard to find the time, and i get a little frustraded and come up with crazy ideas like this one


but i think it will all be worth it once i finnally finish the car

 

your pics dont work

 

Yeah without working pics your nto going to get a good analysis of it . . . and keep in mind that youlll never get back what you spent no matter how hard you try . . . . Just my .o2 cents

 

You've been trying to sell this car for over a year haven't you?

Definitely.

 

You gotta keep in mind, just because the car its fixed up, dosn't mean it will fetch as much as another R with the same stats that never needed the work to begin with....

If you had that same year R stock with the same miles in good-very good condition you could get 15-16k. Maybe even 16.5

 

dude I've seen your car. You don't want to sell it haha. Just rip the block apart one night after work and then get a game plan. Once the blocks apart, its not much left really. Just drop it off at a machine shop and then put your motor back in when it comes back

 

yeah im not goin to sell it, i just get discoureged


iv got two guys that sound pretty serious about buying my ek hatch, so once thats sold, the R will be back up and running in no time, and then i can sell the prelude to carmax or somthing, and finnaly go get a tsx, its gonna be so nice to have somthing quite and automatic to just cruise in

 

I definately agree with the luxury, quiet, and nice car as a DD....but I think I'll always buy a manual car. I get too bored driving stick lol
