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.

KBB trade in value on that car is 10,600. I dont think he will get that on e-bay. Just my opinion.

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.

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

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.
