Erm... uh...

What do you think a '92 CX with 124,000 original miles and...

brand new DX manifold-back exhaust and cat
brand new tires on 13" steelies
15,000 mile old D15B7 engine
2 brand new axles
brand new ball joints
brand new battery
Eclipse Audio AM/FM/CD
4-gauge wiring kit
50x4 MTX amp
2 Pioneer 6"
2 Eclipse Audio 6x9's and amp in custom rear shelf.
vx (manual) tachometer cluster upgrade
'93 integra seats and shift knob
no rust

...is worth?

Everything on it works, it's just 14 years old. Passes VA inspection.

Don't hate. I'm not going anywhere.

 

$2700 :dunno:

 

Aftermarket upgrades are generally worth $0 to most people.

You have to find someone who is enthusiast enough to know/care that thinks it's worth it. Start from blue book or edmunds.

 

no matter what...the value of a car always depreciates. with upgrades like that, they are just audio upgrades that people will most likely just take out. basically your better off selling that stuff individually. the cx engine and tranny is the worst honda has probably ever made...not to hate, just being truthful. good luck

 

In general I would get the value of the car alone and add it to 20% of the value of the mods. Then find someone who likes all your mods and sell it quickly.

 

I'd like to thank you for your input, but it's clear that you didn't read the question.

Three things...
1. This car doesn't have a CX engine in it anymore. It's a 16 valve DX engine. 104hp, not 70hp. Freshly built, not a used swap.

2. Everything for the engine, ECU, emissions, intake and exhaust have been swapped to convert it to a DX, except it's still 300lbs lighter because it's a CX w/o any options or power steering.

3. A Honda VX gauge cluster and Acura Integra seats don't qualify as aftermarket parts.

4. The stereo stuff, I'm not particularly attached to. It's a billion times better than stock Honda am/fm/tape deck and 2 blown door speakers it came with.

5. Aside from the stereo, the only aftermarket part on the car is the intake. It's a $34 ebay intake, and it's rather nice actually. I had to do something because CX intakes don't fit DX throttle bodies, and it allowed me to use this engine.

...oh darn, that's 5 things.

This car's just NOT a neglected, non-running or slow CX POS. It will tie a EX coupe with bolt-ons in the 1/4 mile. It won't require any major service for another 75,000 miles because everything's been replaced already with warrantied new or remanufactured parts. I take care of my ****.

But to defend what you said, those parts aren't what it came with. So technically even if they ARE stock honda parts, the car's NOT stock anymore. I know my blood sweat and beers over this car are worthless as far as resale is concerned, but everything I did to it has been an improvement from what it came with out-of-the-box. If I sell it for book, someone's getting a hell of a deal.

 

That's around what I was thinking. I was going to ask for $3k locally and see what happens. I've got about $4500 in it including the car. That's not counting the freebies. Freebie value is the stereo.

 

I'll give you $1k and a side of fries! :awais:


Please?


Anyway, why are you selling? I thought you where pretty happy with it as a daily POS or something.

 

well your pretty much not going to get back every penny u spent on it. 2.5 to 3k sounds decent if i had that car and was trying to sell it.

 

I would say real close to what you are thinking, that sounds like a pretty decent price...

If only you could wait about 5 months.... I would snatch it up like a catfish on a trot line....
