definitely not $12k, thats for sure...

 

I would pay $6,000 to $7,000 depending on cond.

 

Wow, that's awesome mileage. If everything checks out, I'd give them up to 10, honestly.

It's not every day you find a low mileage, unmolested 99-00 Si.


Wow, I just tried to do a kbb check on it. It lists its worth 18k in excellent. It also shows the newer Si though. Weird.

Mileage is great. I sold my 2000 Si some years ago, and now am in a place to be able to afford one again. I was thinking of offering 10k.

NADA is at 10.5k for excellent condition. With 26k on it I would have to assume it is in great condition. Not too often you find unmolested Si's with low mileage.

 

13k is pushing it. 10k is more reasonable IMO

That is what I am thinking, but we all know how this game works. Clean, unmolested Honda's bring good money. We will see what He/She says. Still awaiting a response from the seller

 

got a link to the car?

nevermind im blind

 

i got a 98 coupe with a clean 2001 gsr swap for 4k. granted i need some paint, but i'd beat ya in a race, and still have 8k in my pocket. just my 2cents, which aint worth much.

 

its hard to say how much i'd pay for that because like whats been said before its not very often you find one with extremely low miles like that...i would have to go check it out in person to actually tell you a price depending on the paint,interior,mods if any and also see what the carfax says

Good mileage can also be a bad thing...in this situation.

Just throwing a heads up here, I'm almost willing to bet money that within 5-10k of owning the car you'll have to do a complete engine rebuild.

Why? Seals.

Cars' engines' seals need oil lubrication to stay fresh, if not they grow hard, stale, and eventually crack and start to leak.

26k in 8 years means either:
A) The guy didn't drive much at all - which is fine
B) The car sat, in which case all the seals are well in and once you start to really drive the car you'll notice all sorts of nice fluids coming out of not-so-good places.

I've seen this before on cars that sat, not saying I wouldn't go for it - but I'm just giving you a heads up that if it sat there's a good possibility of it needing a tear-down soon.

Also: No way on a frigid ice cold day in [freak]ing hell that that car is worth 13k.

Try like...8k tops because of the super low miles...

13k is nuts, and he probably thinks its worth 10k, even if you bargain it - which is just as stupid.

Cars twice the value of civics of the same year and a bit more miles go for that..

 

13k is a bit too much i think 10-12k is better of course. Try to bargain with him as much as you can. Also, I got my 1998 civic ex coupe for 8k with only 38k miles. So I think it is an alright deal. Hell under 30k miles practically new. My civic is doing great after driving it for about 6 mnths since I got it.

 

A virgin with low miles that's a very good price but I wouldn't pay that much for a 8 year old car. I would pay $10,500 tops but that's just me

 

listen to Syndacate he knows what hes talkin about... cars are meant to be driven not hardparked for life... thats not good for them.
