Chance to trade stock LX for moded EX I might have the chance to trade my for the most part stock 01 2dr ssm auto LX with 59k miles on it for a 01 2dr ssm 5spd EX with 133K miles on it.
The EX has the following but I also think it has more.
Droped on eibach and koni yellows
17 silver rims
AEM big break kit
OEM full lip kit
I have not seen or driven the car yet but the guy wants to trade it in to dealership so I guess the dealership dos not want it all moded out.
At least with my car I know its been well looked after.
I don't know this person at all.
When I do finally see and or test drive his car and all looks and feels good would this be a worth while trade?
I know this is not very helpful because you need to be there to check both cars out but assuming they are both well mantained and run good.

yea I was just playing with the thought.
on the bright side I will be getting A CFH of him on friday for $100
He also has a brand new OEM lip kit in my color I'm going to try and get a deal if I can.
Yea I don't think I can part with my Vic even if it is an LX Auto I still love her.
Thanks for the support guys.

Well... look on the bight side, you wouldnt have to pay for the 60k check up, the 100k check up, or the service inbetween them. Do yourself a favor... keep your ride. Maybe work a deal out that you can trade your stock parts for the modded ones so the dealership can sell a non-modded car for more, and you get mod's for cheap.

So far I will trade him my OEM lights for his OEM blacked out ones.
He wants my grill for his after market one not sure about that.
I would trade my stock front brakes for his AEM kit.
Would an EX strut and spring go on an LX
Would also trad my pillers for his carbon fiber ones.
I will have to wait and see till I meet him on friday.
I will prob have new pics too

If he has the same color car as you and a lip kit...wait till he turns his head and take the lip kit off his car and put it on yours.

01-02 share the same suspension regardless of what model it is.
Just check the condition of his stuff before you swap.
