Do people on dragva want wayyyyy too much for their hondas?

$4000 for an economy car with 200,000 miles?

It can be ragged all to shit too....and they throw together a Bxx[another random letter] swap and that automatically makes it worth $3,000 more?...

Maybe it's just me..... or are dragva honda's way overpriced and overrated?

Discuss.

 

sure, why not

 

They keep there resell, I mean thats the way it goes yuo got to ask yourself if a 97 Supra Turbo with 75K miles on it is really worth 30K.

 

the sad thing is, generally speaking, none of them sell for anywhere near what they cost to put together. a bone stock excellent condition 92 vx hatch can sell for $3-$5 grand with 150,000 miles, and then spend another $4000 doing wheels, suspension, and a GSR swap, and it'll sell for $4-$6 grand.

 

Well.... when you're trying to make a performance car out of an economy car obviously it's going to be expensive...

You spend $5k in mods to run with a stock LS1 powered car...

 

all honda's are over priced!!! calm down people.im just kidding

 

I paid $200 for a Honda. That's about all I'd ever spend on one.

 

try getting one from a dealership

 

No point, I have credit for bank loans, I dont need "no credit no problems" interest rates.

 

That's how it works.

No one ever accused modifying a modern day car of being a good investment, did they? It's basically like flushing your money down the toilet. You don't modify a car like that because you expect to make a lot of money off of it in general; You do it because that's what you love to do. It's a hobby that we can all relate to.

Now if it was a 1969 Camaro SS or something.. SURE.. you can probably get your money back and then some. Classic cars and antiques appreciate in value. Civic's may hold their value, but I don't think they appreciate in value by any means.... swap and wheels or not.

(and that goes the same for my VW, or a Toyota, or a Ford, etc.. almost any modern day car is going to depreciate. I would hope that everyone knows that by now)
