Default Selling my car...

I think it's about time for a new car. Yes I spent all this time and money in my car, but I want to build and rx7. What do you think my car is worth guys? Please help... I'll list out everything.


1999 Civic EX w/ 80,000 original miles
1996 JDM B18c(GSR) motor with LSD tranny (30-40k on it)
OBD2b to OBD1 conversion
AEM short ram intake
Thermal exhaust
H&R Springs
KYB AGX struts
A/C and power steering removed
SI front grill and side skirts
M3 style mirrors
Brembo blanks
Rota C8's w/ kumho tires 195/45/16
GSR black leather seats
CTR shift boot and Skunk2 knob
Skunk2 short shifter
B&M fuel pressure regulator and gauge
Clarion HU w/ pioneer 4-ways in rear and Polk in front
Think thats about it.

Also all mods were bought within the last year. So everything is practically new. See pic in sig as well.

Anyone who's interested let me know.

Unfortunately, the resale value for a modded Honda will never be as much as what you put into it. Your car is in great shape, but my guess is that you'd get under $10k. for it. Good luck though.

You think I can get 10k tho? Thats what I am looking to get. I mean the car itself blue books for 7700. I just want 2300 for the additional mods which is not even close to what it actually cost me...

Part it out. You will make much more.

Do you still have your old engine to put back in? I know it's a pain, but I think it would be worth it. I would also put your steelies back on and sell the rims separate.

Good luck with it.

I do have some wheels I can put on. Honda OEM wheels.. so a lil better than steelies. But everything else (all the old stuff) has been sold. I need to sell it as is.

7-8k if your lucky
mods = lose value in car, even with a motor

if you were in CA it would be cheaper as well

good luck with it though, like said i would try and trade and parts stuff out for oem parts...you'll make more money that way

e-bay it. People are idiots and will buy it for more than it is really worth.

The listing fee will probably kill me.

True. If someone offered me that much, I'd hand them the keys

Maybe, but eBaying a car is a pain in the neck. Ex: Buyer backs out, you still eat the fee's.

Thanks guys. We'll see what happens... I put it on Autotrader.com for 11500. Figured I would shoot high.... I know I will most likely not get that, but hey doesn't hurt to try.
