It runs and drives perfectly with no mechanical issues at all . ... Only thing wrong with the car is that the tailpipe broke off a few months back. ... But whole new muffler online for 50 bucks so no biggie.

I’m asking 3,000 or best offer . kbb value is 2,120 I paid 250 for tint, 300 for rotors calipers and drums, plus tires and brake pads.

Also, muffler for $50 is bullshit. The muffler I replaced on my 98 EX Coupe was $150 plus new hardware.

Yes, because you always get back the value of the parts you put into a non-collectable old car.*

*And, in many cases, not even then.

That sounds about right for the Honda market...

For what he’s selling, $3000 seems pretty reasonable based on the market here.

But trying to argue his way into that price from blue book value based on his investment to the car? No. Recently serviced brakes and new tires do not merit a 42% jump in value.

I was referring to “i spent x amount on parts so my car worth $1,000 is now worth $1,000 + x”

True.

Though I’ve seen that on pony cars and trucks, too.

If I followed that reasoning, I could’ve sold my basket case 98 for about $5000.
