Is this a good trade

[Egpwns]

I got a 92 si hatch/h22 minor stuff

Guy wants to give me a 00 si 94k miles needs a fender/bumper/ and passenger door handle/door panel/ has a major valve tap/possibly rod knock plus 500 cash

[2.0civic]

cash on whos part? anything mechanically wrong with yours?

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

[Egpwns]

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

[The Green Monster]

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

[sleepys4]

I say hell no, sounds horrible, but to each its own. But dont do it. Hope this helps.

[twinj]

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

[Bruce Leroy]

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.

[Egpwns]

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

[The Green Monster]

i still say no

[Frög]

i say no..

[twinj]

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.

[The Green Monster]

h22 hatch > b16 si

[twinj]

Resale value
SI>old civic hatch

[Ltdnismorace]

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.
