Has anyone bought or sold one that's been done already? I am considering selling mine but I wouldn't know where to begin on price.

 

depending on miles on chassis... id pay about 7-8k for your car.

 

No offense, but a STOCK one blue books for 8200. That's why I don't know where to start.

By the way, it's got WAY more done to it than is in my sig. It all won't fit.

I noticed you ran a 14.7. What mods? I haven't had a chance to run mine yet but I was hoping to be around the same et.

yeah you put a lot of money into it. but thats your problem. no insurance will cover all that stuff so it hurts the value. if i bought and messed up the car it will be replaced with stock parts and f22
mods dont increase value they actually hurt the car's value. i wouldnt pay no more than 7 for a fifthgen hybrid..

 

this is true. Mods hurt value. No such thing as "investment" as I see so many guys (and girls) affectionately refer to the $$ they've dumped in. Best to stock it out if you have a lower milage car and sell the parts separately. I'd never buy a heavily modded car (for what its 'worth') but that's just me.

 

Sorry for hijacking your thread but how do you like your sportline / koni combo? I'm assuming they're koni yellows... just wondering cause I'm about to buy some and I have sportlines also.

 

thats where you are wrong i have progressive and my h22 is coverd or was coverd i should say i just had to tell them i had it and i showed them a recipt for everything done to the motor and paid an extra 300 a year and it was all coverd

 

I love the setup. I haven't even tuned them and it handles like MAD!!

 

agreed, i have nationwide and my plan will cover everything permanently attatched to the vehicle.
ANYWAY, id still only give you about 8k for it. how many miles does the motor have on it?

Around here, all you need is an appraisal and insurance will cover your car for whatever you want. Hell, insurance companies will cover anything as long as you are paying them.

 

i would'nt count on that, insurance companies will f*%k you any way they can.

 

ive noticed if you have a receipt for it, they will cover it.

 

yeah, they covered all my stuff that was stolen, except for the cd's.

BUT ANYWAY, were off topic now, HIDPERF: look around your area and see what stock cars like yours is going for, then go by that. remember though, old ladies dont care about swaps and performance.

 

I wouldn't even try selling it to anyone but an enthusiast. Hell, the exhaust is to loud for ME and I built it!

From what I've read so far, I'll just keep it. It was just a thought.

 

a modified honda is no different than a modified domestic etc.. its all to the eye of the beholder. you will have to find someone willing to pay for that kinda business.. you know?

someone like me.. i wouldnt pay you any extra. esp when i can get a nice 5th gen for CHEAP and swap it myself for a lot less than 8k.

so anyway.. you gotta sit on it if you want the cash you 'put into it'

 

I don't expect to get my money back out of it. I've built enough cars to know that will never happen. But if someone thinks they can duplicate my car for less than 10k, I'd love to see that. I'm talking buying and installing it all.

 

I/E

 

The area where I live is a good spot to sell a car.

A couple friends of mine have sold modified hondas recently.

93 Hatch, b18c1, beautiful, goldish/orange paint job, 99 gsr rims, I/H/E vafc, doors, seats done in custom vinyl, looks like oem job, sold for $17,000

94 hatch, black, black kit of some kind, 16" rota's, b18c5, rev hard turbo kit, skunk2 turbo cams, etc, all the goodies, gutted, race seat, ran 12.2 on street tires, its an 11 second car, sold for $20,000

 

which wiring harness, distributor did you use... ihave a 96lx that i have a 95 h22 going into

 

your swap is going to be soo much more work. good luck to you.
