    Just a feeler thread for the sale of my car

    I don't know if I'm too serious about this, but I'm kinda thinking it over and I want to know what my fellow 3geez members would think.

    Most of you know the condition of my car and the parts I have(if you don't go look at my 3geez garage), anyone have any reasonable offers? I was thinking a little over 2k. Sound right?

    Once again this is just a thought, now that I'm here I'd like to start building a B-series and obviously my car isn't the car for that.

    Some c'mon guys, whatcha think?

    You can always build a b series with the accord man...Alot of people give up on 3geez cause of the lack of support that companys dont give.....Its all bout if you willing to do custom parts for your car and Yet the love you got for your accord you can do anything with It if you willing to spend the money just like you would with any other build. I think you want buy a integ or Rex or something that is easyer to build RIGHT? Do what u feel...My Openion is that your going to spend the same amount regardless what u do...

    Re: Just a feeler thread for the sale of my car

    I want a DA or an EF sedan(or a wagovan if I can get my hand son a clean 4wd one)

    I would love to spend the money on my accord, that car is amazing and has treated me really well.

    But it is my daily driver and only car, so I can't go cutting away at it for quite a while considering I am in school and all that.

    Once again though I'm not sure if this is what I want, but if I can find someone that is interested and will take care of the car as meticulous as I have then I will think about it.

    It doesn't matter what we think, it only matters what you can get someone to pay for it. Remember, the more eger you are, the more you will compromise on your selling price.

    If someone is willing to meet your price then sell.

    This is true. I just wanted to see if anyone even thinks my car is worth that much. If it is I guess I could pursue selling it, but still I'm not entirely sure.

    I was thinking the same thing. Once again, just getting other peoples opinion.

    If you guys don't think it's worth that than most people won't either. Thats why I came to yall first.

    I guess I'll just get coilovers, slam it, and then be happy. Thats all I don't like about the car. It's just too high for me. The Sprints 2.25" drop is okay I guess, but the front has a plethora of wheel gap.

    i run 1.5 drop springs and i think that is too much...what i did is just install front and rear sway bars. so it handles good.

    I've got 89 swaybars with poly bushings and all 4 of justins bars. It's definitely tight, just not low enough.

    Re: Just a feeler thread for the sale of my car

    I am gonna try and get my hands on a bigger rear sway bar, still needs a little more in the back.

    Yeah I wanna see how low you are. My car looks really low to me sometimes, but then I park next to lowered civics/integras and all that and I feel like a 4x4 even though my roofline is lower than theirs. Its just the damn wheel gap.

    Re: Just a feeler thread for the sale of my car

    Well, this whole thread was a waste of time cause I'm not gonna sell my car lol.

    About to buy a mint inside and out LXi coupe(auto ftl) with half the mileage my car has with a blown head gasket and get everything I want off it, fix it, and maybe daily drive it until my younger brother is old enough to drive. Gotta start him out right

    And I also got my hands on one of the only sets of 2 door OEM window visors on this whole board. Pretty excited about that.

    I'm gonna fully rebuild the A20 out of the coupe, so as soon as I get it I'll get a thread going and all that good stuff. Pretty excited about it.
