Default Selling my car, getting a GSR... need advice

So I've ruled out all the options I was going to do with my car:

h22a/manual swap
h22a/keep auto
Rebuild and Turbo the f22b
just leave it and drive it

I've decided to sell it, and get a Integra GSR, throw a turbo on a while after I've driven it, maybe around Christmas time. I wanted a GSR originally, but wasn't sure about getting a stick then (the Accord is my first car), of course now I want a manual.

So my question is, how much you guys think I should sell it for? It's a '96 LX Coupe with almost 100k miles on it. All mods are listed below, but I'm keeping the sub, amp, and speakers... everything else is going with the car.

I was also thinking about the Prelude... but the Teg is just so cool. My mom has a '00 Prelude anyway, so I can just drive hers. I want to try to get the GSR up to 260 hp...

Preludes are nice, but given the thin cylinder walls and open deck it's best for all motor setups which are expensive.

If you want bang for your buck go Integra. My only problem is that everyone and their aunt as one, same with Accords.

Not to say I wouldn't rock either one. :fawk:

My moms prelude is nice, it's not a stick, its the sequential sport shift... It's a lot quicker than my car though, especially once the VTEC hits on it. man the VTEC sounds way nicer on that than my friends f22b1 ever will.

A buddy of mine at work has a 98 GSR, with a T03/4 Turbo kit, Koyo radiator, and APEX-i WS exhaust... dynoed at 255 whp at 6 psi... damn nice I'd say. Also I like the idea of having a hatch-back, the sound is so much nicer in them.

ur not gonna get much for ur lx coupe.

I sold my 96 lx sedan with 73000 miles for 4500. sold it to a used car lot tho, but I wouldn't have expected more than 6k private party.

I'd expect around 5k for private party, and 4k for trade in value.
