Default What is my Si clone worth?

Well guys I traded a jeep that I had for an EX Si Clone a while back and im just wondering what you all think its worth.

It is a 1996 Civic EX with a 00' b16a2 swap, 99-00 front end, Si interior including Si cluster, Noname headers, Skunk2 N1 Exhaust, AEM Cold Air Intake, Skunk2 Pro Intake Manifold, Koni Yellows on H&R Sport Springs, Type R Valve Cover, Si Wheels, Apexi Cone Headlights with 30k HID's. No powersteering but has COLD AC!

The car is in overall great condition, engine doesnt smoke at all, never have to add oil, runs strong, only bad I would say is a small dent right behind the passanger door. Engine has around 80k miles and chassis has 95k.

What do you all think? Im not wanting to sell it at all just wondering what you all think its worth.

Apparently when the owner pulled it out of the Si, it had 70k and he put on about 10k so it should have around 80k miles.

Honestly, the modifications don't mean so much on the car. The year, condition and mileage on the chassis (and engine) matter much more than what wheels or front end you have on it.

The size of the dent affects worth, as does that it has no power steering.

A few tuner fan boys might pay more for the car, but the general market won't care as much about the header or wheels to any degree that they would pay a lot more.

The fact that it's modified makes it appear that it was probably beat on too.

Without mileage being known, there's no way to estimate the value of the car.

Also, you said it has an Si interior, but that's not really explaining things. Your photos don't help the topic much either.

You need to post the CHASSIS mileage.

I'd suggest you add both numbers to the first post.

Maybe 5,000 then.

Depends on where you live. I couldn't comment on your area, but I know back east in DE Hondas always went for more than they go out here in WA, where they are more plentiful.

I'm surprised you wouldn't have mentioned that your car had such unusually low mileage though. That would matter tons more than anything done to modify the appearance of the car.

Why was the front end conversion done? Is the car clean titled? Do you have the history of the car?

It looks like this car has quite some ways to go before I'd really call it an Si clone. Right now I understand it has the following parts from an Si: wheels, engine, cluster. You also mentioned "interior", but I'm not sure what exactly you mean by that. The lip was optional for all trims, but the Si had it standard, so it makes it fit the appearance of an Si more than it would without it.

Clean title, im the second owner, I do have most of the history of the car and proof that a certified Honda technician installed the motor which was the previous owner aswell.

The interior is all from an Si, it has the Si front seats, middle console, rear seats, and door panels. Forgot to add, power windows, cruise control, I think thats it.

That really doesnt add to the value of the car dude...

One thing you have to realize is that mods do NOT add to the retail value of the car. People want stock cars that havent been fcukd with. Even if you have one kick *** expensive security system, that just means cut wires. And cut wires are not good when it comes to the resale value of the car.


PS: Those HID's are horrible. Either get 4300K, or get some OEM bulbs from Honda.

Who doesn't have an alarm on their civic?

Yeah the HID's were on them when I bought the car, I wasn't a huge fan of them but get alot compliments on them and have grown to like them.

Just because everybody has it doesnt mean that it adds to the private party value dude.
