cash on whos part? anything mechanically wrong with yours?

i would say no unless you can spend some downtime and can do body work...

cash on his part

I never gave a trade thought til the guy that lives near me offered it

His car needs some work but i think it would be worth more in the long run...

Need a second opinion:goodjob:

so you have an eg with an h22 swap


and you wanna trade it for a 00 si with b16 and needs lots of body work? Plus you don't know exactly what is wrong with the motor...could crap out on you 5 minutes after the trade.


I say no

Figure out what is actually wrong with the motor. How hard would it be to fix?

I say keep your car, unless you want a new project.

if I had those problem i'll trade it for a 92 si hatch with a h22 to

so I say NO with that deal.

but its your car you are going to do what you want.

There is no frame damage on his car just needs those few things.

It has a cf hood and he offered 900 on top of his car.

My car has rust on the quarters(minor) roof is faded/ front bumper cut for turbo
holes in the trunk where there was a 3pc wing. minor 2nd gear grind.

I'm just looking at the overall resale.

thanks for the replies

You have to think that is a Authentic SI original motor. You can put it back together and sell it for a lot more than what you would sell you hatch for. If you are willing to do the down time.

i agree, if you're thinking of reselling and can do the work, go with the SI, if you are keeping either, I'd keep the hatch.
