Whats KBB on something like this? $8k? I’d say that 8 grand worth of car.

I donated mine to the kidney foundation. It was an 00 with like 20k on it, and had kissed a guardrail whilst sliding sideways, damaging the bumper, upper and lower rad supports, etc. No airbag deployment. It sold on Copart for like 7 grand.

it was already stolen, just the time for you to think about it was more than enough time for a civic to be stolen

04/16/2018 at 15:31

16k is my guess.

Range between 15K and 18k

why does a 99 civic with only 12k on the clock exist?

i mean.. i dont mind as such... but come on... its a 90s civic... if ever a car was made to get abused and neglected all the way up to 300k miles and keep on trucking... it a 90s civic

Thats going to be a no for me.

How do these things get so overpriced? You could go out and buy a nearly new civic EX that is a much nicer car for the same money.

AMGtech - now with more recalls! > Takuro Spirit

Original tires. That’s not scary at all. Nope. Uh uh. I’m sure they’re just ffffiiiiiiiiiiinnneee.

“Are you going to put tires on it?”

“No! Then it wouldn’t be original. Do you even know what you’re talking about?!?”

“Do you?”

WilliamsSW > Takuro Spirit
04/16/2018 at 16:19

$18k.

What bugs me, though, is that this car was with the original owner for almost 20 years, and then the next guy flips it after 3 months, presumably because he has $$ signs in his eyes after that $22,750 hammer price?

pip bip - choose Corrour > Takuro Spirit
04/17/2018 at 05:09

$31,500

Takuro Spirit > Milky
04/17/2018 at 09:59

Its at $8100 as of this morning already :D

im gonna say 24, these things will never break the 30 barrier, they arent integra type Rs lol

WilliamsSW > Takuro Spirit
04/17/2018 at 10:01

KBB is pretty irrelevant for most any car this old, IMHO, especially one like this.

Original tires is just dumb - first thing I’d do is swap them out, maybe keep them around if you think this car is an ‘investment’ (spoiler alert - it’s not).

Nice car!

If you watch Jay Leno’s Garage, they did one of the Knight Rider cars. During the drive, Jay asked the owner if these were the original tires (again, this show from the Goddamn 80's, right?!). “Yeah, but they’re in pretty good shape!” The apprehension is Jay’s voice was apparent.

so the red similar one was ~$20k? I think this will go higher. If I were looking for an Si to collect, I’d for sure be looking for the Si only colour EBP.

and the current (as of this typing) bid of $8100 is what I got for my Si powered hatch with 100,000 miles, so we have a WAYS to go

Milky > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo
04/17/2018 at 10:18

I mean $6k seems a lot accurate than $22k IMHO.

The same as any classic - someone wanted one when they were young, couldn’t afford it and now they have money. So they feel an emotional attachment to the thing they wanted to have, but couldn’t afford, and overpay to achieve it.

PartyPooper2012 > Nibby
04/18/2018 at 10:59

I don’t even understand what you just said there...

No big deal, just find some new old stock!

My dad had this exact same car—1999 electron blue. He bought it new when I was in middle school, and it was the fastest thing I’d ever been in at the time. Helluva car. I swear you could feel it when the VTEC kicked in, yo.

My dad drove it like a maniac, and we could outpace V6 Camaros and Mustangs and hang with the V8's.

Spanfeller is a twat > Takuro Spirit
04/18/2018 at 11:30

lets not forget that the hot rod association of America (and countless DMVs) would consider that Honda a classic in 6 years.

dogisbadob > Takuro Spirit
04/18/2018 at 11:43

This that blue that everyone wants, so it may very well fetch 30k

arl > Takuro Spirit
04/18/2018 at 12:29

Good Lord. It’s just a blue 90's Civic for crying out loud.

SmugAardvark > Takuro Spirit
04/19/2018 at 17:06

I see it going for at least $24,000.

I’m not saying that’s a good price, or a fair price. It’s batshit crazy, but I can definitely see it happening.

Zed28M6 > ShrimpHappens, née WJalopy

My dad drove it like a maniac...

...and hang with the V8's.

No, no you couldn’t. More like you outpaced poorly driven V6 Camaros, hung with the well driven V6s, and got your doors blown off by any V8 only to do a flyby 10 seconds after the race was already over. Congratulations, your dad was a ricer, and it sounds like he infected you to.

Milky > Takuro Spirit
04/23/2018 at 13:50

Currently $16k for a Civic Si with 12k miles or $12k for a S2000k with 51k miles. I dont understand.

Kinja'd!!!

KevlarRx7 > Takuro Spirit
04/23/2018 at 14:00

$19,500

Are millionaires doing a ‘rat race’ thing with worthless cars now?

Takuro Spirit > KevlarRx7
04/23/2018 at 14:14

Someone just bid up to $18k so... yes?

KevlarRx7 > Takuro Spirit
04/23/2018 at 14:44

I really don’t understand it, it’s not like it was a poster car of it’s day.

Surpassed the other already.

The original Fast and Furious movie called. Said to remember them.

Along with all the import magazines of that era.

Holden-SSV > Takuro Spirit
04/23/2018 at 15:29

Alot of hate in regards to what other people do with their money.

I bought the red example that sold for $16K late last year. It’s worth every penny to me and you can’t convince me otherwise.

KevlarRx7 > Holden-SSV
04/23/2018 at 15:49

Fair point, but $24k worth? Remember all the other cars in fast and furious for that kind of money? FD rx7, supra, skyline, to just name the obvious in that price range.

Holden-SSV > KevlarRx7
04/23/2018 at 15:56

You don’t have to understand it my friend. Everyone’s different.

You don’t have to understand. Not everyone wants S2000s, obviously.

Hope you’re really enjoying that Civic.
