Default Civic value: street >>> kbb & edmunds?

I'm selling my 1997 civic with 113,000 miles in great shape (garaged at night), runs just fine (all stock, only CAI), sport suspension and upgrades (Si wheels, rear sway, etc).

Anyways, KBB and Edmunds list a value that is about $1000 - $1500 lower than what you see on Autotrader, craigslist, etc. Is the street value of Hondas just so much higher?

Well, if you take out that $113,000 you have in the Civic (is it in the trunk?), you can probably get $1000 above what autotrader is asking for. They're in demand, so people are willing to pay, especially if it's in good shape.

Just put $____or BRO

I've always wanted one but could never find one. It wouldn't be as stressful if I was shopping for a new car just because I wanted one and not because I don't have one.
