I want you to check my auction on ebay and help me change some of the info on there to help me sell my car better. Lemme know what you thing. Tell me if you think i can get 15 for it. I beleive that I can. I spent a grip on it. Lemme know reguardless..
You will not get 15,000 for the simple fact that kelly's says 12,500. Your better off putting the car back to stock and parting out the upgrades. Nobody cares how much you spent on upgrades. There will be more buyers looking for a stock civic as opposed to a modified one. Don't plan on selling it on ebay either. People look on ebay for good deals. Nobody is going to want to spend kbb value on a car that they have to worry about having shipped and buy un-seen. Ebay is not the best way to sell a car, sorry to say.

unless you're looking to sell fast for less. though you'll probably get more than the dealer will give you for a trade-in.

First, I would really think about how much you would take to ensure a quick sale. I.e. how much cash would you take right away to close the deal. Realize that after all is said and done, in a few months you would have wished to get the cash fast and walk away. Hopefully your loan payoff is close to the amount of KBB. If it is higher, meaning you are upside down, you might just want to wait.
It is true that a stock or near stock Civic will sell much faster. While it is true that eventually you may find a buyer who has the same taste as you, it may take a long time. It really depends on how fast you want that new Mini.
You could sell the amps and woofers, but you need a stereo in the car. If you have the stock body pieces you could also sell those.
Yeah I Dont Have Any Of The Stock Parts Accept The Am/fm Radio And Speakers. Wow. I Figured People Would Buy My Car Up With A Factory Warranty Left On There Still And The Fact That I Fixed My Car Up Real Well. Hmmmmm.. O Well Well See What Happens. Anything Else? So The Overall Result Is... You Guys Dont Think I Will Get 15k For It?
no way, return it to stock and go to carmax (I got a REALLY good deal with my old Blazer b/c it was in immaculate shape), or better yet, find a rich high school kid with stupid parents, you could probably get 25K
reserver price is 14,500. would anyone on 7th gen forums buy this car for 15? it saves people money to buy my car already done you know.. i woulda bought this if it were available when i went to buy my car...
your best bet would to put out the aftermarket and slap the stock parts back on. it may take time but its well worth it. you think the mods you done to it are great and look fine but every has own opinions. someone would say it looks like ass and automatically not read on. the only audience your attracting with that right now are kids and young adults(age 20 and under). and we know ppl at that age are in school and dont have money. im pretty sure someones dad or mom wont even take a second look at your car.
if you dont have stock pieces, trade them for your aftermarket +cash.
i tried to trade + cash deal on this site and it didnt work - nobody responded. I was wondering wtf the deal was but maybe i did it wrong. o well. lemme know if there is a way to get this shit sold.. i mean i have all the after market parts i just need to have them repainted. i also have to have them put on. Lemme know if there is another method to selling my aftermarket parts.
anyone got an OEM hood? that they will trade for a carbon fiber VIS invadar hood...
Hmm, I don't know if anyone else notices, but somehow this car has roll down windows and no tach. Isn't this a DX?
Anywho, just part out your car if you still have the original stuff. 15k for an 03 with 23k miles and it isn't paid off - I really don't know about that.
My near stock DX 02 with 16k mi. can barely fetch 8.5k and it's paid off already.

actually an HX is a DX with with air conditioning. that is the only difference between HX and DX. Thats what i was told when i bought it from the dealership. but i didnt ask any ?'s though i was getting such a good deal.. go to www.kbb.com look up HX 2003 with my milage see the private party value and then come back and appologise biotch! even if it were a DX its still books at 10,000... get off my post! ha ha. idiot!

HX has a lean burn engine that gets better gas milage compared to the other civics, thats the difference. Anyways your auction post seems ok, might want to check the spelling some words. And by the way, like everyone said, youre asking for too much for the car. People usually dont even want to play the kbb price, so good luck in selling.

thats odd. it saves people money to do it this way. that is if they like the look of it. i dont know. well see what happens. i have 8 people watching it and thats only the first 8 hours. well see how it turns out i am getting a lot of ?'s in my email seems like poeple like it. i hope i sell it for 14,500 or 15
The HX also has a CVT transmission. A CVT is an automatic transmission that can select any desired drive ratio within its operating range. Unlike a traditional three-, four- or five-speed automatic transmission, the CVT is an "infinite speed" transmission. It continually selects an optimum overall drive ratio between engine and drive wheels for all operating conditions, whether accelerating or cruising. Unlike conventional automatics, there are no perceptible shifts. During maximum acceleration, the drive ratio is adjusted to maintain peak engine horsepower. At a constant vehicle speed, the ratio is set to maintain an optimum balance of fuel economy and driveability. One big advantage a CVT has over a conventional automatic is that it lacks a torque converter and therefore is more efficient at transferring the engine's power to the front wheels.
^ it works extremely well. BoostedZexCivic or something like that had a 55 shot running through his car....with a full turbo kit....on an automatic (CVT), and ran at 9 psi. His tranny is still holding up...and he abused the hell out of it.

Hey, I was just asking a question. Now my DX does have air conditioning. Looking at the DX resource site, the HX has power locks and power mirrors. I guess it didn't mention power windows.
Now you didn't have to go so far as to call me an idiot and a "biotch" when you can't even spell you juvenile. You're still thinking your modifications boost the value of your car when people are buying a new model for the same price new.
You think people have the same taste as you when it comes to mods so it saves them money?

You're calling me the idiot now?
if that link is accurate then i appologise. i just know that when i was sold that car they dealership told me the only difference between the 2 cars was airconditioning and a tape deck. i know that i dont have power options thats why i want to sell the car and i know that i dont have a tach. when you list a car on ebay you have to input the vin #. when i input the vin # a list of potential vehciles associated with that vin popped up. the only 3 cars on there were civic 2 civic HX's and also a few honda elements. they said that those were the only possibillities for that vin # so i beleived i had an HX. o well. appologies for calling you a biotch. and yes i meant to spell it like that. and im no juvenile. maybe younger than you but im 21. later on doods... buy my car freak!
