ok i have 2k1 civic sedan black...no mods really to it yet cuz i am still in high school,,,, except I/E and new cd player and all new comonent speakers....and amp...my car has 187,000 miles on it which is the worst part
i think they are wanting to do straight up trade....the car really isn't my style...i like oem and jdm looking cars more, and one that are fast but i am thinking it is a good deal for me since this car is a 2000 and a new d16y8 has just been put in it.....the hood is fiberclass but i think i am going to have take it off...cuz i just hate it
who thinks i should do it or NO

Rep Power: 0 i say do it.. that way u have a almost fully modded exterior car for urs.. but def take off that hood and go cf.. but always look at the car during the day.. Also.. make sure the jams are painted and trunk along with under the hood.. nothing more frustrating then that not being painted..

Rep Power: 296 Also, take you hand and run it under the fender wells, check for rust or possibly bondo over rust. Check the trunk, look under the carpet for moisture or rust. Just like HondaGuy12 said, look at it during the day. There are 2 things you should never do! Buy a car at night, and buy a car when its raining. Things are hidden and can't be seen as well. Take that hood off and go CF. The body kit doesn't do anything for me either. I'm telling ya, go JDM with that thing. Or else go with TURBBOOOOOOO

No, the question is.. how the heck do you have so many miles on that already? Especially being in high school.. is your school 2390183490 miles away?
I say go for the trade.. but check everything first!! PLEASE get rid of the hood... some retard has the same hood on his hatch and wow.. it is really nasty.. it doesn't even match his car.. (car = blue, hood = white) I make fun of it all the time.. lol. But you're smarter then him because getting rid of it was the first thing you thought about, lol.

Rep Power: 0 i guess i am keeping my 7thgen.....the eclipse was a faster car w/ a lil less mileage than i have....but in my opinion i think my car was worth more than his and in better condition(interior,engine, and exterior)

Rep Power: 0 I would be nervious if someone wanted to trade me a car thats worth way more than mine. I bought a 6th gen Civic for 2K, and only to find out the "Mechanic owned car" had a blown head gasket (after I bought it).

Rep Power: 0 why would this person want to get rid of that car for a 2k1 7th gen with 187k miles on it?
the car is already modded out and has a brand new engine in it so why would u wanna trade for a car that is stock (except I/E/Speakers) with an engine that could be near the end of its rope (i know Honda engines last forever but that is still a decent ammount of milage when the car u currently have prolly has less than 20k miles on it)
..... think about it.... kinda strange. Or she just really wants better gas milage which would b the only thing that I could think of (or a new project car)
