Quick Question?
 
When someone does a k-swap in there engine and later on plans to sell it... does the cars value depreciate? just wondering cause i really want to go with the frankenstein swap!

Yes the cars selling price is lowered. Most likely they dont care to much about the resale price.

They being the person putting in the swab. Also I would get others opinions like gears. Maybe im wrong.

I think ur wrong.. dealership value is probably worth nothing if they even take it.. but street value I would say would be higher on the car.. depending who done the swap, how well it was done, tuned etc.. and what your final numbers were and such..

doing a kswap will lower the cars value compared to stock. I don't know how car prices are in canada. but its just cheaper to trade in your civic and get a used type S now...then to do a kswap in the US.

Thanks guys... yeah i'm still question whether if it's all worth it if i do the k-swap!
