How much would you buy my car for?
I went up to the shop to get the passenger seatbelt and some dude was there in a silver '02 Jetta 1.8T and wanted my car for his, plus the price difference. He has a front lip, sideskirts, intake, exhaust, 19's, new brake/rotor system, HID lamps, suspension, leather interior, sunroof, and it's chipped to 215hp, all in mint condition. He only wants $18k for it, and in '02 I know for a fact they were $24k new with all his options. It's more of a prettyboy car, but I kinda want something nicer than a Civic with no options at all. I'm still thinking about swapping them, but before I talk to him again, how much would you all buy my 2000 hatch for? I bought her for $13k new and am the original owner. I'll sell it with all oem parts too (seats, headlight housings, steelies w/new tires, and front grill).

On kbb.com a stock '00 DX hatch goes for $6k (fair) to $9800 (great). I know mods somewhat lower a car's value, but considering I have a pretty unique engine that could be looked over..?

Re: How much would you buy my car for?
It's a cool showpiece, but in the real world I'd rather take the GS-R engine because it's got a beefier low end and you don't have to dig around for JDM parts. Plus you can't really turbo a Civic Type R engine without basically turning it into a GS-R first. The belts on mine are from a GS-R, the cam sprockets for an Si etc. It's always one or the other and makes it kinda rough. Minor gripes, but I'm definitly happy w/it.
$16k seems a bit high, but if I could find somebody to pay that, I wouldn't exactly talk them down

Re: How much would you buy my car for?
lol.. I just want to get some rough opinions on what it's worth from enthusiasts. They don't exactly have "Civic with Type R swap" on Kelley Blue Book. I only owe about $4800 on it, and the thought of having no car payments in a year seems pretty relaxing, so keeping it does seem like the right thing to do.. but what if I lose my job or something comes up where I have no other choice?

There is an ass for every seat. You need to find it! Most people dont care what you have into a car. You will never see a full return on your investment of parts in a car. You would be lucky to see 20%. You need to compare book value plus what you think in the real world what is all that stuff worth. Book on your car in CT is under 9k. I think you would be lucky to see 10.5k. Sounds like a very nice car, I would love to have it. You should keep it!

Re: How much would you buy my car for?
Yeah the money I'd get is nowhere near the blood sweat and invented cusswords made in my garage over it.. $10k - $11k, if that, is pretty much what I'd expect unless I find a 16 year old with rich parents. If I could sell it for sentimental value, the $16k is about right

Re: How much would you buy my car for?
I would not buy it or any modified used car.
Mods dont increase value, well maybe to owner/spender - they reduce value. Keep it - strip it - race it

Re: Re: How much would you buy my car for?
Price is as if it was a Si, other than that, as said before,mods don't add anyvalue to a car, just a headache for the new owner if they are all dicked up.

Re: Re: Re: How much would you buy my car for?
Yeah but Si's have a/c, cruise, etc... My DX has nothing but a steering wheel and a radio.. well, and a moonroof. Point is it's not an Si, it's a DX with a beefy engine.
