If you've bought/sold a civic recently...

I'm considering selling my 97 Vti coupe in the next couple of months and am trying to get a better idea of its value. Obviously I have looked on Carsales but that only tells you what people are trying to sell them for, not what they are actually selling for.

So if anyone has done a deal on a similar model any info would be appreciated :)

I'm looking for 12-13K.

Is it a manual?

Rebook lists the average price:

Prices based on km 150,000 - 250,000
Trade in price guide* $6,300 - $8,000
National average price - private sale* $8,300 - $11,100
Price when new (RRP) $30,900
all prices quoted are GST inclusive

12-13K might be a bit too much unless its done less than 150000km

[vtecchie]

Yeah its a manual with about 110kkms.

I've always found redbook to be terribly unreliable, mostly underestimating, and according to them my car has rear disc brakes too. I suppose the only way to really find out what its worth is by putting it on the market.

all coupes have rear dsic brakes excpet for the GLi as far as i know

i believe it's just the EM1 that has rear discs..
the VTi and GLi have rear drums..

[destrukshn]

yups VTi also have rear drums.

thats way too high. i have my 97 vtir up on carsales.com.au and i put it in at $13k, gotten a few callers, but no actual visits yet. there r a ton of vtirs around the $14k+ mark as well, so mine is well priced, and it only have 127k km on it.
u need to re-evaluate ur price for a vti

[SiReal]

well i sold my GLi 98 EK1 sedan with tints, alarm, sound system, full servicing, babied since day 1, 140K kms, 5spd, A/C, 9 mths rego for $9800. I adverstised it at 12K at the start then dropped it slowly by $500 increments.

[vtecchie]

Thanks for your reply yellows2k.

Thats why I thought I'd check, there are only 6 VTi in NSW on carsales, 3 for $12000, a couple of modded ones for 14-15 and one cheap on for 10k.

There's an even bigger range of prices if you expand the search to all states.

I thought I would ask for a high 12, and get talked down to a low 12.

sorry but research the values yourself :)

We dont allow threads like this ~ simply because it gets un-needed attention. ( similar to a EOI)

Post it up in the for sale section once you have researched elsewhere what other civics are going for then hopefully someone will pay what you want.

good luck
