How much would I get for my Civic

layke · 11-09-2006 12:29pm #1

96 3 door.
1.6i (was a 96 1.4i but dropped a 2000 model with 70K 1.6i into her engine has done about 100K now)
Straight through exhaust (Stealth)
Quickshift gearbox
a'pexi ECU
Performance manifold
Kenwood Amp, speakers and Sub head unit (bought in 2000).
17" Oz's
License plate relocated to left Bumper and filled in the hole whe it used to be for clean finish.
Small Front Lip and small sides modded
Type-R Headlights
Eyebrows.

I'm thinking about 3K but I know the mods mean FA when selling her on.
Just looking for opinions as to how much i'd get for her (A nice Type S Prelude is looking good atm).

Depends on a few bits,are you using a different gearbox altogether or a shortshifter gear stick?

What apexi ecu are you using?That along could be taken out and sold for a few quid,likewise the manifold and ice.If your selling for 3k with said mod's then it seems fair enough,if you took them off and sold it as standard i reckon you'd make more overall

96 civics hatchbacks should get more than 3k for a good condition one, what about service history etc....? Fire up a few pictures.

Is it a jap? Apexi ecu's dont go cheap, and is generally a good mod on the likes of a modified SiR. is it a vtec? If so, 3k is waaaay to cheap.. But strange to have such mods on a non vtec..

Well basically it has been serviced by the previous owner was a Honda Ireland employee so it has a stamped history up until 3 years ago when I got it then by the tuning factory.

It's a non V-tec (1.6i) and the reason it's so done up is because when your 18 and can't afford a Vtec (insurance woes) this was the best you could do

Imentioned also it has a 1.6i droped into her, originally a 1.4i.

Tbh if i'm selling it I just want the whole lot gone. Good advice but I really don't want to be chasing people to buy bits off it and leave screw holes where everything is nailed down. I just couldn't do that to her.

Oh yeah I forgot, it has a Clifford alarm too.

I'll look at the apexi model tomorrow. It's late and my bed is calling

Im impressed with the spec... Perfect car for a engine swop. I wouldnt let it go for under 4.5k. btw, the lads that serviced this car are friends of mine and I asked them about it. They said the engine is in VERY good condition. Good buy and good luck with the sale mate.
