Im just tired of fixing it.... Im feeling I need something new... hopefully i can get 1200 for it.... i hope so i dont want nothing less for it... what do you guys think?

i would say thats a pretty fair price for what you've got there. huge selling factor is that you have already done the timing belt/ water pump.

also when you did your flush and fill did you use genuine honda atf?

89legend1 · 03-31-08, 04:17 PM

i didnt flush it... it was a drain and refill and it told the guy to use honda fluid and he said that was best too for it...

Clean up the seats and take a peek at the stereo! That way you can be even more firm on your price of $1200... List it at $1300 maybe?

might even want to look into swapping out the deck for a cheapo one, be it from ebay or wal-mart or flea market. could probably pick one up for $50 and it will be a direct return if not a little extra back.

i think you could get $1200 for it, just make sure to list it for $1500 so when someone "jews" you down, you go go as low as $1200 without sweating it.

Nice advice Murderotica, it would be funny if a potential buyer saw this post so he knows about the price and he is Jewish. Ouch!

Sadly in Canada I doubt you would get $500.00 for the car. People are pretty picky here. The car would have to be in really clean shape to get over 1K.

Very good advice. People [generally] don't want to buy a car just to have to put money into it--and that includes audio upgrades.

Exactly, gotta leave that extra cushion to make the buyer feel like they're bringing you down from your asking price like they're getting a bargain haha.

Really? That's insane! In that case, I know where I'll be purchasing my parts car. haha.

89legend1 · 04-03-08, 12:45 AM

well since i have all my records of changing the water pump timing belt ect. id figure a radio wouldnt be that big of deal to replace, knowing how people are picky about what kinda stereo is in there car.

IkeRay · 04-03-08, 11:50 AM

have you driven it since the car wouldnt go faster than 25mph? was it a fluke, is it still doing it?

also, good point on the radio, maybe you should really list it at $1500 (dont mention the stereo in the ad) and then when they start talking about price, say, "yeah, i was going to do $1500, but since the cd player JUST stopped working, ill knock $xxx off." personally i'd do $100 since you are $300 over your preferred price. they will probably also mention that it needs new tires and try to knock more off, like another $50-100, so i could see you getting $1250 easy if you play it right.

good luck with the sale.

89legend1 · 04-03-08, 04:24 PM

no it was a fluke, when im on the highway she drives like a new car.... idk why it did that. and thats a good idea about what you said i never really thought of that
