[jgregg]

So my wife is thinking about selling her 03 civic ex 4dr. She is asking me how much to list it for and I have no idea . I have never paid that much attention to these cars and there street value. My wife purchase this car new from the dealer. its a one owner car. CLEAN TITLE

-18" MOD wheels (Split fives) these have been dico'd by MOD.
-Tires are in good shape about a year old.
-interior is stock other than kenwood cd/mp3 and clean no tears or rips
-TYC projector headlights

Thats all I can think of on the car at the moment. This weekend I will be installing new t-belt , water pump , thermostat , spark plugs , unorthodox Polished Crank/ps/alt pulleys as well as new belts.

I need some feedback from the honda community ...so tell me what you think I should price it at ??? for craigslist or azht or autotrader. I will try to post more pics tomorrow.

Thank You
Jesse

Find out what you can get by looking at what similar vehicles are selling for.

Go to autotrader and do a search based on the exact criteria of the car (specs, mileage, etc) and you will get a pretty good idea. A general google search is good too, and also try other car selling sites.

Keep a few things in mind: the price will reflect the length of time you want it on the market, a car priced higher will take longer and you risk having to lower the price which looks desparate and turns people off (waiting for it to drop again); mention any warranty's, records of maintenence help too; look up negotiation tactics to get extras that are always worth it; most people are turned off by aftermarket parts, thinking you're a diy'er who might be damaging the vehicle, so reinstall any OEM parts you still have (if you can diy well); find out if you could get a better deal trading in at a dealer and saving thousands on financing or base price of a new auto... and much more.

go to:
carbuyingtips.com <---=== they have a selling section.
just goolge "car selling tips" or "how to sell a car" and read thoroughly all material you can to make more money/save more time than you would have

Good Luck!

I agree with rufus...try and part out and replace as many of the parts with stock parts.
