If anything, all those mods would probably decrease the value of the car over a comparable stock one.

I had my 98 Si in the trader last fall for $6500 cert/e-tested and in perfect original condition. I ended trading it in because I couldn't find a buyer.

mileage??? you'd be surprised how much some dealers sell some cars for, but if you look around you will find the dxs around 4500+

why did you swap the engine, always leaves the buyers skeptical.

popped the last one... and then i was gonna put an R in... and it was sapost to be a gift from my grandparents but then my grandma got sick and is in the hospital.... so 2 and 2 means no gift.....atleast not that i could accept because of the situation... so i just went with something i could afford at the moment... but i still plan on putting in an R...
but like i said i saw some dxs going for insaine amounts of money so **** i just thought i might aswell ask because if i can get enough money im just gonna buy an R and throw it in an eg.. and make some jam!!!

Its worth what someone is willing to pay for it, not how much you think its worth and not the sum of its parts.

well cars are based on market value especially civic since its not a collectors car or anything special.

that being said sure there might be someone willing to pay 100 thousand for it but waiting for that person to come around will probably take your entire life time. hence the reason market value is placed on the vehicle as to what the car could/should be worth so the general market who is looking into cars will look at it.
