Exclamation What to do??? Everyone make a comment please.

ok well I have decided to sell the civic. yep sell the civic.
I'm still debating on what to do.
the car is and has:
2002 civic ex
AUTOMATIC
36,000 miles
honda OEM body kit
17" konig wheels
VIS carbon fiber hood along with stock hood
Magnaflow catback exhaust
honda OEM spoiler
Stafford Fabrications Complete turbo kit 13,000 miles on it (one of the first very well put together ones)
greddy turbo timer
autometer gauge pod and A/F, Oil pressure, and Boost gauges; Phantom ones
two 7" power acoustik monitors already in the sunvisors
pioneer 8400 deck
custom speakers have 8 in total plus 2 tweeters and on momo 12" sub in a plexi glass enclosure
the speakers are polk and infinity
three amps: mono audiobahn intake series; 4-channel alpine v-12 and a MTX 4-channel
I think that has everything.


I would like to get 16,000 for it
so should I sell it with everything on it or part it out mostly or at least take off the turbo.
please tell me what you would do.........

I dont think you will be able to get 16k for that...

everyone always says part out...

then sell the civic stock (a lot more people would be interested in a stock civic vs turbo)

Part it out, sell it stock for like 12k, and then with all the mods you sell it would add up to 16,000

Part it out.

You might take a loss on a few parts here and there, but you stand a greater chance of selling it stock than leaving all those parts on there. Dealerships will give you CRAP for all that aftermarket stuff. For them, it lowers the value. And finding an car enthusiasts to buy your car like it is now, would be like finding a needle in the haystack!

Good luck. Maybe we'll see you around in a few weeks with the *other* ride.

ok, anyone will buy a stock one over a not so stock one any day. first make sure everything is oem. cause i don't know what the hell you did to your car, so if it was turboed i would skip it in a heart beat. a modded car goes for way less to normal buyers. an idiot street racer would not have the money for your car anyway. a dealership will pay you way more for stock than modded. period. and if you wanna sell your turbo(kit) and turbo timer please pm me and we can talk. good luck
