have a chance to trade my civic with a 99 si
a friend of mine offer me to trade my car with his 99 SI.
my car is a stock 2001 4dr, 5-spd with 47xxx milleage on it. his SI is a 99 FBP stock with 61xxx milleage. he wants me to add 1k cash for the trade.
do you guys think I should do the trade? do you think it's a good trade or not?
any opinions are welcomed

Rep Power: 0 the thing is one of my friend said that for a 99 SI he's asking too much. basically my car has the KBB valued at 8800, and if I do the trade + 1k, so I would pay roughly around 10k. He said that nowadays a 99 SI with 61xxx milles can go for as low as 9k

Rep Power: 0 it depends on what u want and ur situation.. if you can afford the 1k and want to make ur car fast, maybe u should trade for the SI... if 1k is a lot of money for you and u don't really care about "trying" to make your car fast, just keep yours. If the value of your car and his car are the same.. don't get ripped off with the extra G, the SI isn't that great of a car... I wouldn't trade for the car because the SI isn't what i want.. and i wouldn't be happy with it in the end, so it depends on what you want and your situation

Rep Power: 372 Well the mere fact that that engine can be built effectivley and cheaper than alot of others. It respondes well to bolt ons if you want to stay that route, responds well to boost (551 who one by me lol) and it repspondes well to being ripped out and having a b18c5 put in LOL

Rep Power: 305 if its in good condition, you would be a fool to not do it. plain and simple. he probably wants your car to swap and make it ultimate sleeper, 4dr with k20

The only viable reason id have to give you in the favor of the trade is that the SI looks so ****ing hot and has such smooth lines, I love 6th gen civics proprerly hooked up...But man, 1 grand, **** save up some more and get yourself a type-s propped in your civic and you're set, and sell the current engine for 500-600 bux.

Rep Power: 0 The reflector in the headlights is about the only change between 99 and 00. Its not a seperate reflector piece on the 2000. As for the obd1 and 2 thing, all cars after 1996 are obd2 while any car after 92 but before 96 are obd1.
