I just find it funny that 84k is considered low miles. It might be, in the big picture, but its not “freshly low” or something worth bragging about IMO ---

It might be, in the big picture, but its not “freshly low” or something worth bragging about IMO Oh no, I agree 100%. Civic is a grocery getter, that simple. A modified Civic sitting at 84k miles where the owner had 40k on it originally… yeah I could see that being high miles. But depending on who you buy the car from its chump change. If its bone stock at 84k miles… thatd be a great find this day. Would I buy an s2k with 84k? Hell no… cause I know what that poor car more than likely went through. Thats why I spent a little bit more to get one with 37k on it. ---

Not that I know anything about imports and what swaps are worth what, but wouldn’t that depend on the car. Granted if it’s a POS then no, but are there some combinations that are desirable and in the right condition would be worth more then the original vehicle. ---

i hate this type of crap, including the 4th grade education level of the guy with the em1, as concluded from his spelling and language. it makes it next to impossible to reason and haggle with the guy to come up with an agreement or a deal. god damn i hate honda owners…I don’t know how i managed to deal with it for the past 8 or 9 years garrett, we should have went to meet this dude and either laughed in his face or beat him up for being an asshole ---

This is the big reason I got out of the import game a while ago. Sure every town has its idiot but with the import crowd it seems more like the town is full of retards with maybe a handful of intelligent people to speak of. ---

On Saturday he came up to look at it (after a month of flaking); we agreed on $6k. told him that was the lowest i will go, otherwise not worth it for me to sell. Says he needs the car Monday because he has no car for work. I told him I’d need a couple of days so I can find something. Said he really needed it, otherwise he will look for something else. I agreed after talking with Angela. Comes back yesterday. Tries to offer me $5700. Kept telling him no. He said man it books for bla bla bla, and it needs two front tire (it doesn’t). I told him no, it’s $6k, otherwise I have two other people who want it. Guy pays me in fucking 20s, and 10s. Then he tells me how the plates he put on the car today, he is putting back on his jeep wrangler to get to work today. i was livid. Now these two asshole sellers wont get back to me, one with a CL-S 6 speed and one with a TSX. im going to be using bob’s civic until i find something. /PJB ---

On the mileage subject. Any car with a clean body is worth more than low mileage rust. This especially goes in NY. I can do mechanic work. Hell… I could rebuild an engine or trans or just swap in a low mileage junk yard deal, But I can’t do body work. The engine swap issue. Most cases the donor car was more rare and worth more than the recipient of said transplant. There are a few that may tip the scales the other way tho. Say K24 from CRV in a perfect EG hatch. ---
