FS and requesting some info: 95 Civic 2 door - WRXtranceformed - 09-23-2008

Hey fellas. One of the managers at work heard that I was into cars and asked me for some help selling his son's Civic that's been sitting a while in their garage. I told him I'd put a feeler out there and also try to pick up some information on how much it's worth.

Here are the details that he gave to me:

95ÔÇÖ Honda Civic

ÔÇó SIR VTEC Motor & Transmission
ÔÇó Short Ram Intake
ÔÇó Skunk 2 Short Shifter
ÔÇó Skunk 2 Intake manifold
ÔÇó DC Sports Header
ÔÇó Eibach Lowering Springs and Struts
ÔÇó HID Headlights
ÔÇó Panasonic CD player
ÔÇó Greddy Catback Exhaust
ÔÇó 18ÔÇØ Motegi Wheels
ÔÇó Carbon Hood

Here are some pictures he sent.

I'm in the process of finding out how many miles it has on it. He did mention to me that he was looking to get it out of their garage so it could probably be negotiated pretty heavily. He tried to start it this morning and it wouldn't start... my guess was dead battery since it hasn't been started in about 4 months.

What do you guys think, any idea of what kind of price he should put on it? Anybody here interested?

$2k?
maybe 2500?

- WRXtranceformed - 09-23-2008

Cool. He says the chassis has about 100k miles and the engine has about 30k.

don't post if you haven't a clue. the engine alone is worth that.

the rest of the car? not much. i'd ask maybe 4k and happily sell at 3500. 3k would be a steal.

then how did you get 14k posts?

"modz" dont add any significant value, you should know this.

just because you overpaid for a shitbox civic doesnt mean everyone should

if he can find a sucker for 3500 more power to him, but I stand by 2500 as the value most people would pay for that car (well, most people wouldnt come near that car)

you're right, i know nothing. evan knows all! where is the oil spilling all over the driveway pic?

a swapped motor does, dolt.

i did? news to me. if you knew anything about this subject, you'd know i got a pretty good deal, but you don't.

so you're not buying this car, we get it. that doesn't mean it's worth significantly less than what someone who IS interested in it would pay, dolt.

knock it off, deletion of posts imminent....

- WRXtranceformed - 09-23-2008

$3500 sounds reasonable... he had it in getting an oil change a while ago and someone there offered to buy it straight up for $3500. He didn't sell it at the time because his son (who was driving it) thought it was not enough and wanted $5k.

So if he posted it on Craigslist for $4k and settled for $3500 that would be a fair price?

- Mike - 09-23-2008

yes.

- navin - 09-23-2008

I'd lowball him with $2500 too.

stunna mods = probably someone that didnt take care of the car.

- WRXtranceformed - 09-23-2008

Thanks guys!

you're the same person who highballs everything he sells (until it doesn't sell for years... then you get in line with realistic pricing) Tongue

heck, i wouldn't even buy it for 2500, but SOMEONE will buy it for 3500.
