I'm sorry, but $43,000 being put into a Civic is just dumb. Plus, those don't look like $43,000 worth of mods (I could be wrong though).

that car is pretty bad ***, except for the fact that they said there is NOS in it and yet it is Nitrous Express not NOS. and i dont think it is actually from the movie cause usually they say this car was in the movie than they have a pic of universal studios slip thing. i could be wrong tho.

well seeing how its an si, he probably bought it off the lot for little over 20 grand, correct me if im wrong.. then all that means is 20K+ more in mods.. which is the turbo, rims, body kit, tv, seats, engine mods, ps2, and all that other customizing

First of all, I dont see evidence of those mods, plus the cost of the car, equaling some $43k, second, it was a bad call to reference "The Fast and the Furious" so much, and thirdly, how does it have "Tokico Premium Shocks Front and Rear" yet also has "TEIN Suspension" and the TEIN EDFC--if it had Tokico struts and TEIN springs, it couldnt use the TEIN EDFC so wtf?

However, it does look pretty nice, and I like the red & black interior...the outside is relatively clean and overall its a nice car I'd say.

The $43,000 remark seems kind of high, but I would assume they're figuring in the original price of the car along with the mods. That would make it a little more believable, especially if they paid someone else to do all the work on it.

It doesn't say that the car is worth $43,000 or that it has $43,000 in mods. It just says that $43,000 has been invested.

Stop flaming the seller. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] Which of you would actually use the excuse for buying the car "because it has $43g in mods".
A car like that, you'll probably want to buy it because it's different and better (if you like that stuff). It has more options and what not.

Who here went to the dealership and said, "I want a Civic EX because it is $5000 more than the DX!" No one. You probably bought an EX because of it's extra options, better performance, and other reasons (like having more money to spend). Not simply because it is $5000 more than the DX.

"$43g in mods" is only there to attract customers. It maybe true, but it may not be. So what? The seller is trying to be smart, and catch some guppies. Just because you see what the seller's trying to do doesn't mean you should flame him for his tactics.

ok?

Well, besides the fact that there are three pedals, it could easily have been left in gear. I think its a nice clean car. I'd buy it.

I would say something like $25000, including the price of a new SI.

gets my thumbs up. nicely put together. maybe if he got some timeslips he could get more bidders. but yeah his suspension setup confuses me. but why konigs? theyre decent rims but u figure this guy put so much into everything else he would get a set of spoon, mugen, volks, advans or racing harts.

Everyone keeps saying "$43,000 in mods". I don't see anywhere where it says that it has $43,000 in mods. The exacts words are "Over $43,000 spent on this rocket". That could very well include the price of the car, along with the mods, along with the labor, and then it starts to make more sense. They're not lying about how much money was originally spent, just being a little shady, making you think the car has $43,000 in mods.
