I have 97 civic ex 2 door with 230k on the odometer

Fresh B18B swap (I installed it 2 months ago) engine has around 30k on it
Koni yellows with tein springs (4 months old)
New Oem Headlight (bought around october)
Blox LCa's
real JDM Stanely yellow square fogs
New (about 4 months old) yokohama 195/55/15 tires on 2005 ex/se wheels

Do you guys think I would get more for it parted out or as one car?

I'm sure you'd get more if you parted it out, it's just a matter of whether or not you want to invest the time

Sad to see it go :( But yea parting out takes time and effort... So depends on your opinion of what's "worth it" Think of it this way, parting it out can take months, lots of pictures, lots of internet time posting, shipping, replying, updating... etc etc...

Part it out. I did that w/ my old crx and I got more back from parts than the cost of the car when I bought it. Then I sold the shell for 1/2 the cost I bought it.

Are you tired of the car and wanting something nicer or something?

I say you get a car with a nice big V8 in it.....trust me, you won't regret it.

Definitely part it out and get a VR6 VW. Best engine sound ever.

I actually got a truck with a v8. Im thinking about eventually getting another honda (s2000). I wouldn't mind parting the civic out I suppose. I have had it for ten years now. I love the style of my civic. It is just fwd and there is always a chance of it getting stolen by all the little ghetto ricers. I would prob hold onto it and mod it more, that was my first idea, but I don't want it to end up like child's civic, stolen. Any opinions on what you think reasonable prices are for my parts?

The car isn't heavily modified. If the title is clean you could get a good sum for it, as it sits.

Thats exactly what I was thinking. I dont know why everyone is saying part out.


Sell it as whole for a good penny. Just clean it up really nice before hand.

Just make sure it "looks" stock and remove the expensive mods that you can easily sell.

Most car buyers see a "modified" car as a liability or a sign that it was abused.
