no one would buy it though.

they barely sold new.

I'm thinking perhaps further down the line he may be able to get what he paid for it. but it really is overpriced for what it is... even the honda community knows that.

at this point, the best he could hope for is someone steals it and he make 8-10k on it due to the value of the car

20k is a good deal on something like that though, when it should have been more anyway

either that or park it and store it for say 20 years and it might be a collector piece down the road?

Elliott18t 10-30-2009 12:59 PM

whats the peanut eye one?

thats what i'm hoping for. that the value will go up further down the road. that, and i found out a couple of mugens are already wreck, and some were arlready stolen. so, the price will go up, :lol: evil, i know

but yeah, suprisingly, very few people (even in the honda world) thought i got a good deal. it suprising, i got more hate from honda people, then from any other folk

Roto 10-30-2009 01:01 PM

Unfortunately I know people who'd be drooling over it and would pay 25K... I know some ricers allright :mrgreen: He can probably have fun with it for a year or two and break even on sale like you said....which is kinda a good deal.

i don't think parting it and storing it would be a good idea :lol:

i doubt it'd be worth it after 20 years either... unless you find someone passionate about the car...

there is a late 80's dodge shelby lancer with i believe under 100 miles on it that keeps popping up online for i think around 18k... it is in beautiful mint condition, runs just fine, been sitting in a garage for that long, has been maintained, etc... while all us 80's dodge fan boys drool over it... it just isn't worth it.

of course, most of the dodge shelby folks are a) cheap and b) want to modify the motor... and you just don't do that to a mint 20+ y/o car.

Leno should buy it...

He will never get what he paid for it down the road. Very few cars are like that unless they are individually numbered and all. Plus the fact that people were interested in them when they were new shows they hold no value. Might be 'worth' more but people won't 'pay' for it.

Speaking of the Civic, there is a guy that works in KOP that has a blue one. I used to work at University of Phoneix and he always parked in our lot. I'm guessing he working for the insurance company or something next to us.

Elliott18t 10-30-2009 01:05 PM

lol i have a few but they are all smalls :P

it'll take an adult collector i think. but he should be able to get what he paid for it at some point if it stays in great shape.

course, i'm not basing this off of any honda knowledge... i know with muscle cars its like that. though, i would never expect to get 30+k for my gt 20 years from now unless i kept it in immaculate condition and low low low miles... even then... 18-20k MAYBE
