whats up guys..run an automotive shop in raleigh nc..we also sell cars..but having a hard time picking the right ones to sell..i have alot of people believe it or not that want between 88-95 civics swapped or just simple aftermarket parts. (springs,i/h/e maybe some wheels) my question is if i can get a hold of a couple Ef hatches and throw some inexpensive swaps such as sohc vtec/zc engines or even LS. do you think i can make a profit..what are these cars going for now a days? appreciate all your info

 

You never get wat u put into car esp a honda. And if u run a shop ur probably paying somone for labor. So I doubt you can make a profit. just my 2 cents.

 

na no labor to be payed out as i would be doing the work, well what would you pay for a clean ls swaped ef hatch?

 

me? for a car that old, $2500 to $3000 if it was clean... but then again I just bought a clean '91 CRX Si (bone stock, babied, 130k miles) with mugen RNR wheels for $3000 and i don't mind doing the swap in my garage.

in my opinion, a swapped car is less desirable b/c as far as i can tell, the only reason people swap engines is so they can drive the car hard.

 

Yea, and call your shop new way auto....heh, they've have the same 20 eg's out front since 2000.
