its got 60 000km
stock - no modifications at all
recently major serviced at hanny's

how much do you think the value of this car is?

[mytoycivic]

what yr?

[D16A8]

What year?

Edit:
*shakes fist at mytoycivic for beating me to the question*

[mytoycivic]

ok i did some research and it looks like ur car would most probably be 1999 or 2000 VTi-R coupe...

now i know a lot of you people dont like redbook but its what we have for now.

so, for 1999 here are the guidelines

Red Book Code HOND99VA

1999 HONDA CIVIC
Coupe VTi-R 2dr Man 5sp 1.6i (Apr onwards)


average kms 90,000 - 110,000
trade in price guide* $14,100 - $16,500
national average price - private sale* $15,900 - $18,800
price when new (RRP) $31,500

for 2000, here are the guidelines

Red Book Code HOND00SJ

2000 HONDA CIVIC
Coupe VTi-R 2dr Man 5sp 1.6i


average kms 75,000 - 95,000
trade in price guide* $15,300 - $17,900
national average price - private sale* $17,200 - $20,200
price when new (RRP) $30,100

[Anthony38]

is there much demand for the EM1 these days?

Cost I was considering selling mine.

[Anthony38]

had at look at redbook.com.au

seems abit unreliable.

on the site is valued the Integra type R as follows

1999 HONDA INTEGRA
MY2000 Coupe Type R 2dr Man 5sp 1.8i (Oct onwards)


average kms 70,000 - 90,000
trade in price guide* $17,000 - $19,600
national average price - private sale* $19,000 - $22,300
price when new (RRP) $39,950


2000 HONDA INTEGRA
Coupe Type R Sport 2dr Man 5sp 1.8i (Sept onwards)


average kms 55,000 - 65,000
trade in price guide* $19,500 - $22,500
national average price - private sale* $21,800 - $25,300
price when new (RRP) $39,990


William I would say its worth slightly higher, there is a goodwill attach to the EM1. There isn't many around and for sale.

[mytoycivic]

um dude its a civic ;)

[carbine]

mytoycivic he is showing it as a comparison. ITR's sell for heaps more then what redbook says.

are you in sydney?

[pornstar]

tinker, all coupes are em....vtir anyways..

ek4 is the hb vtir

[fried]

yeah em1 is sorta equivelent to ek yrs/shape.

yeah might have very interested buyer over here too :wave:

[tinkerbell]

tinker, all coupes are em....vtir anyways..


yes, quite correct!

hope he is in sydney...

sorry misunderstanding...my bad :D

[MRJDM]

the cheapest i seen one was for 17000 but it had over 200 on the clock

[Alpine]

All Coupes are not VTiRs. The Coupe also came in GLi form.

[R96P-EJ8]

I wish I brought a VTi-R instead of getting a 98 VTi :(

[skoota]

He'd probably get $18k-$19.5k if it were in Melbourne. and yes there are GLi 99-00 coupes and man they look shizen.

[Muckafutha]

my opinion....get the red book price and slap 3k on top of it at least

[mytoycivic]

def.

[geo41e]

i might be interested to buy if the price is right!!

[SiR JDM]

I rk'n if ur gonna sell it to me, about 8-10k would b sweeet..

anyone else, depending on condition of the car, anywhere i beleive between 15-18 k?

[BlitZ]

yeah... as the red book states RRP 31k..

That does not include CD player, air con or power steering..

My car orginally cost 36k all up..

[William]

im still inbetween deciding at the moment...

option 1 is to sell and buy a type R, if i do i doubt it will be now...possibly in 3 months or so....

another option is...

swap cars with my brother....(he has a 2002 corolla hatch with 30000km) and sell the corolla for 18k ...use that money plus borrow prolly 7-8k for the type R.........

whats peoples opinion on that? i know this is a honda forum and every honda guy is biased including me. but is it really worth the $8000 to upgrade the car to a type R?


and YES im in sydney..

[SiR]

I just think it all comes down to which car you like more. Personally, I prefer the Civic cos I'm not a Teg fan. Performance wise, of course the Type R is going to be better on the track, but how often do you plan to track the car, if at all?

On the streets, I dare say that the Type R isn't noticeably faster than the VTi-R.

The choice is yours.

[William]

yeah im gonna go test drive to some DC2R this week and see how fast and good it really is..

you guys think i can sell my car for 20k straight up? i mean its in immaculate condition may have 2 or so rock dents but thats as far as damage goes to the car.

yeah i actually plan to go track...havnt been but its a big thing on my list of things to do.

[2MPRSS]

is ur car black?i fit is my brother would of pikd it up from u for $18000 no questions asked but too late now he got him self a A4,keep the coupe man they are rare fukerz

[00' coupe]

dude u hav below average kms and its stock. as long as its in good nic inside and out go for at LEAST $23000
i saw a coupe VTiR 120,000+kms, not in very good nic for $22000

Coupe VTiR only came out in 1999 and 2000. all other year coupes are GLi or VTi.

cheers

[i_own_you]

yeh thats just about right... :P

[William]

$23000? thats a bit excessive....i highly doubt anyone would pay that much for the car.....

i would be surprised to get 21k

[2MPRSS]

i would pay $18000 if its in good condition,interior is very important :)

[Alpine]

I got mine for $18000. 1999 model, 60,000km on the clock. :P

[SiR]

I got mine for $18000. 1999 model, 60,000km on the clock. :P

But yours isn't a VTi-R right, Alpine?

[00' coupe]

im a bit bias cos i have one but i would neva sell below 21k... i only hav 50,000km on mine.

a VTiR engine has 25kw over d vti n more ova d gli. if its not VTiR coupe its probably worth less den 18k Alpine...

William: i searchd hard for my coupe n ive seen big range of prices, but ive neva seen one below 20k... this includes coupes with 100,000+kms

hope dat helps

cheers

[Alpine]

No, it's not a VTi-R unfortunately. :(

Still a Coupe though! :P

[ian]

definitely over $20,000 (depending on condition.............i'm a bit biased since i'm a coupe owner...........hehehe).

[barefootbonzai]

Is it up already on carsales? $23500

[sivic]

vti-R has so much over the other coupes (gli, vti). dont forget you want to ask for more than your expecting, so ask for 23,000 or so as the buyer is gonna want to bargain. frankly i woudn't take less than $20k. there aren't many (only a handful here in perth) around so buyers can't go bargaining you off against others too easy. if someone is set on one they are going to be prepared to a pay a bit of a premium for its rarity

[William]

nope not mine.....

for a period, i saw alot going on carsales

not as often these days

[William]

whats stupid about this car is the ranges are so wide.....some go for 16k, some go for 23k

yeah i know the km are different but its still a big variation
