1997 EK Civic Hatchback for sale!! CHECK IT OUT!: Atlanta GA
i might as well add my 2 cents, i buy and sell cars every week. i also build all my own rides. now where to start... ok how about "input" well your price is off the chart high, i mean like crazy stupid high. im not trying to offend you in any way, but its true. i could build your car right now for less than 15k. i also have access to more items at my disposial than most people have like a shop, extensive tools, milling machine, paint booth. etc, etc.
the truth is, we are still talking about a 97 hatch, which is 8 years old!
we are dealing with the hatch most people dont like (everyone wanted the 99-00 hatch, better frontend, liner actuated ac controls. darker grey interior)
you are selling custome mods, not a car! mods that alot of people dont want.
shaved everything is a bad idea (the factory installed rain channels for a reason!)
19" wheels are a bad install on civics, not to mention kinda 5 years ago
racing hart c2's are a very old wheel design, they still look great but they did come out about the same time your car did around 97
custom paint is a bitch to match, to hard to do future mods or repairs
stereo equipment is personal preference not to mention you can now buy mb quart on ebay for next to nothing. (i personally still love them)
your seats are $850 plus shipping from 3 distributors in the us
nitrous kits mean you abuse your cars (i do too) but it greatly hinders resale.
no one believes you never hooked it up even if its really true.
your only real saving grace is your motor, which can be bought or built for fairly cheep, but still holds value. too bad you were spraying it
your electronics are used, which means little value
your body kit is also very dated
i could probably go on but you get the point im sure.
again im not trying to flame you or your car, just the price.
btw if anyone wants to buy a similar car minus the 19's and sporting a bad ass turbo kit for around 8k let me know
ps mine is a 2000 hatck with a gsr interior conversion including dash with all working ac controls.
oh yeah, i run low 12's on street tires
i do have some really good advise for you to help you get close to 15k for your car though pm me

Thank you for the input!! Ive already aggreed that the price is fairly high to begin with.. THATS WHY ITS OBO!!!!
** I dont really think it makes too much diffrerence if it is a 96-98 or 99+ as long as its an EK. If i had to guess more ppl probably want eg's than anything else so whatever
**Your point about the mods is correct... thats why im selling to find a buyer that LIKES the mods. No car is going to please EVERYONE
**Alot of people LIKE the shaved moldings, etc.. its been nicely done too this is a $5k paint job
**Dont really have anything to say about the wheels... they are 19s and most people like that look.. Plus they are C2's, a design that doesnt get old.
**The paint is PLYMOUTH PROWLER ORANGE.. an EASY factory color to match, no harder than stock!!
**Stereo is a preference your right.. this is this still a BRAND NEW $5k stereo.. IM SPONSORED BY BAZOOKA SAS
**BULL****ING SHIT about the seats... maybe you can get them for $850 a peice from a distributor.. these are the suede SPARCO MILANOS brand new too
**THE NITROUS KIT WAS NEVER HOOKED UP!!! The fuel line hasnt even been spliced!! The kit was put in a couple months ago for my HONDA TUNING magazine shoot! This is not hard to prove
**this car has been BABIED, NOT abused. It is garage stored and rarely driven!!
**Thanks for the props on the motor, it has NEVER seen nitrous ...EVER
**an original buddy club kit thats as clean as this is dated huh? This is one of the cleanest kits ever made for an EK and i dont even know how you could say that!
Finally.... PLEASE POST YOUR PICS OF YOUR $8k hatch!!!!!!!!!! So we can get a comparison here. Was IT in HONDA TUNING Mag?? Didnt think so..
OH... and low 12s on street tires in a 2000 EK worth $8k? I think i smell something... BULLSHIT maybe?

as i said i wasnt trying to offened you, my car is three colors right now, not by my choice. my car is the before pic, yours is the after, no denying that. but... i'd take your lunch money any night in a race! lol.
your kit is awsome looking , hell your whole car is!
but some of the mods are dated
i have a set of 17" c2's in my shop now, people are always asking about them
but i have owned them for 4 years and i bought them used.
again let me say, your car is mo fuggin hot, i just would consider repricing it

My dads hatch is jdm has a turboed nitrous gsr which when its done it should be pulling 12's with the aem ems and we should be pushing around 300 whp myabe a little less, but hes just finishing all the work to sell it, the problem with modding ek hayches is that theyre sorta old and its got a lot more than 20k invested in tuning and parts and interior and everthing but people dont look at it that way and it ends up being better to part out your car,like your whole engine bay would go to highest bidder then put in a stock d16 then your rims put on some stock steelies, then your bodykit, and put in the stock buckets and everything, youll probably get more cash that way unless youre lucky enough to find a buyer, and you gotta chill and take C&C in a calmer fashion, also a magazine appearance probably would raise your value a lot, and what he said about the 99-00 ek hatch being more pop. is true since the headlights change and the bumper changes too so the front end looks a bit better.

Hey again, i REALLY appreciate your input.. thats basically the main reason i even posted my car on here! Secondly, i wouldnt doubt for a second that your hatch would probably beat my car in a 1/4 mile race. My car is NOT marketed to win races by any means.. it is a quick , reliable STREET/show car. If any body is looking to set a 1/4 mile record time, PLEASE DONT LOOK AT MY CAR. If you want a nice, clean, tastefully done hatch that was featured in a national mag then hit me up! Finally, what do you suggest i price my car at?? Just looking for an opinion. OH... and post some pics of that Del Sol with the rsx in it!! That shit sounds hot!!!!

Thanks for the input! Im not interested at all in parting out this car as doing so would require ALOT of time and money and not to mention destroy a super nice car that was featured in honda tuning just 2 months ago. And what you guys say about the 99-00 hatch front end being so much better is purely opinion. Just because it is barely different makes it better?? I dont see how that is even relevent considering im running a buddy club front end and have the JDM CTR headlights (with citylight) ($450). I actually like the older EK front end better IMO. I guess its like they say... opinions are like assholes...
