Does this sound like a fair trade?
Hello as you can see i am new to here. I am about to trade for an Integra. here is what the deal is... I have a 99 Dodge Durango all stock 72k super nice that books for around $8,300 or so. The integra is a 95 SE 2 door green with 94k on it and its clean. he has done some mods like - Short ram intake, DC 4-1 ceramic header, full 2 1/4 cat back exhaust to cannon muffler, NGK plugs and wires
Handling- 17 in. Tenzo Shu's w/ 2 like new tires and 2 brand new tires (ran over a bolt and had to get 2 new ones last week), Adjustable coilovers with Tokico blue struts, front sway bar
Accesories- Hiper white headlights, clear corners, skunk2 short throw, white gauge faces that I haven't installed
Sounds- Pioneer head unit, can't remember the brand of the front 6 1/2's(Bostons I think), Memphis rear 6 1/2's, 12 in sub in a ported bandpass box with a 600 watt amp.
This car books for around $5,500. in the deal he would include $1,000 along with his integra for my Durango. I just wanted to know from all you guys if this a fair deal for me? thanks

I agree with Bonzo, mods do not add value to a car, if anything it'll decrease it. I would ask for atleast $1500 if not more.
Do you know what type of coilovers it has?

Do what you think is right and make sure you inspect every major part on the car. Thats what i would do, it does sound like not that bad of a deal, but a durango is an american car so i wouldnt be surprised if the Integra will last longer and be more reilable for you.

I would keep looking, personally. It sounds like you are getting $6500 in exchange for an $8300 vehicle. Plus, people who modify their cars like he did tend to drive them hard, further decreasing their value and reliability.
If you were just paying $5500 for the car, it would be a decent deal. But selling your Durango for $8300, and having almost $3000 sound in your pocket after you purchase a car sounds like a better deal.
