Thinking of selling..what can i get
link
Thinking of selling if the price is right so I can concentrate on my next project(f150 lightning).
The car has 18,000 miles and has been babied since day one.
My member page list most of the mods.
what do you think I can get??

If you want suggestions, you've got to give us an idea of what you want. Do you just want something that'll get you around? Do you want something comparable to your Civic, but less money? You've got to tell us before we can tell you.
ps - DAYUM. NICE LIGHTNING.

I would hate to see your car on the hands of a rice boy 
I would suggest you keep the civic because it's sooooooo nice, but hey if i had the chance to trade i would do it.
Privately, I'd say $16,000 maybe more (because of your mods of course)

If you really want to sell it. your best bet is to return it to stock and part out your aftermarket stuff. otherwise most people will only give you around bluebook unless you find someone that wanted that stuff and didn't want to do it themselves and is willing to pay more.

You're outta ya mind man! You'll never see $20k for that car.
You'd be extremely lucky to see $16k for it and I mean lucky.
You'd have to wait months for some 16 yr old to convince his parents to buy that car in it's present shape. Selling your parts seperately and selling the car stock will net the most money. It will also make the car appeal to a very broad market instead of the smallest market a civic can be sold too.
It wasn't my intention to offend....take it for what it's worth.

Sorry, I love your ride man. It's so clean, I love the black, the rims, the tint, and the kit, but THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL you're going to get 20,000 for it. Blue book has got to be down to 13,000 right now, and I don't think your mods are gonna retain even half the value. Example: This guys car has A LOT of mods. Probably the nicest car on the site in my opinion. His paint alone was probably 5k. He was listing it on ebay as a buy it now for like $16,000. If I didnt have my car already, I woulda jumped on that.

Half Life...I knew it. I knew as soon as you got the truck that you were going to part with the civic. Your best bet is to strip the civic and sell all the parts, and then sell the stock civic for about $13,500 maybe $14,000. You would think that the mods would make the car worth more but it actually does the complete opposite. Most people do not want to purchase a modded car. They think that it has been abused and raced...I know for sureyou would not get anywhere near to $20,000 for that car....especially since a new one is $3,000 less plus. I know its modded but that doesnt matter.
