I'm thinking 5-6k. Depending on the condition it is in. kbb dude. And cross your fingers and hope someone doesnt mind the fact that you modded it.

If you have all the original stock parts, you might be better off taking the mods off and parting them. then sell the car with all original parts.

That's a clean little em2. Just curious, what other car are you paying for and why are you deciding to sell this one?

If I was an elder person looking to buy an EM2, i'd usually over 3.5-4.5K because of the mods, but i'm sure if some teenager that just wants a car to drive because it's "heller clean" I'm sure they would offer something around 5-6k.

They are right about the mods. If you have some stock parts, you might have better luck getting more money back by putting some stuff back to stock and selling the aftermarket stuff on craigslist, ebay, or here on the forums.

kbb.com and nadaguides.com are good to go by as far as appraising the car itself. But dont ever go by the "retail" or "excellent"condition options, because they do not reflect fair market value.

Also, the key to getting it sold is to list it every single day. craigslist, flyers, forums, etc

Aah, I see. Well i'd do the same thing also if I was in your shoes. I'd say just throw all the stock parts back and part out your aftermarket pieces. You'll probably end up with around 5.5-6grand total. Well if you were in California you would.

Up here in cali, 7th gens are getting a bit more popular. Still though, EG's DA's, EK's, DC's still rule the JDM fad.

I was surprised to see 5k? Dude just sell it to some noob teenager. They will pay the 7k. A buddy of mine sold his EM2 for $8,500 to a noob. He had more mods and less miles though. Look around you will find some one who will offer the highest.

It all matters what the market value is on them.

Here 4x4's will sell for top dollar during october and november because they are getting close to winter.
in the summer time they are cheap.

set it at 5.2k because you have to expect some low ballers. when they offer you like 4.8k you can meet them half way and say 5k. I always think its smarter to set it a little higher, but people think when they low ball you and they actually get you to set it lower than what your "asking" they'll think like wow im getting a really good deal here.

Just like every1 said and i will repeat, i would say put some of your stock parts back. A lot of people dont care what you have spent on the car, they will go on the prices they see on the other civics on the market. that way you can sell your aftermarket parts aside an make more money for whatever it is you want to buy next.
