CB fighting for its life @ Cash for Clunkers

It didn't qualify. They were just abusing the car. I don't think those bastards deserve to live. I couldn't watch it either. I hope someone pours scalding hot water down their throats when they wake up in the morning.. See how they like it. lol

when I worked at toyota...had some folks bring in VERY new 4 runner...v8...had 44k on it...they had a non toyota oil filter...must have either swapped the filter but not the oil or done ONE OC and used shitty oil...sludged to fuck...had a vvt-i actuator code, reason it came in.

I got to clean it up...I just shook my head...cause I knew they would do it again.

I still do not see how a cb7, especially that one, could qualify. Resale is pretty good on these old girls, especially if they are in good shape. 2-3000 resale depending on condition...that's not bad for a family sedan.

I should've taken a photo when I had a chance, but last November there was a local Honda dealership that had a white 10th Anniversary edition on it's used car lot, priced at $4,779. I never went up close to it, but i drove by a few times.

No offense bud, But I wouldnt pay 2-3k for nearly ANY accord I've seen, stock, low miles, or modified. It's a rare occasion. KBB does list CB7's being worth it, but it would be hard to find one for that much that was honestly worth it.

You're right 3k is a stretch, but 2000 is not

from kbb.com
93 auto lx with 216k
Excellent $2,300 (not gonna find one like this)
Good $1,950
Fair $1,550

93 auto ex coupe 216k
Excellent $2,610 (not gonna find one like this)
Good $2,260
Fair $1,835

And the most expensive
93 auto ex wagon with 216k
Excellent $2,735
Good $2,360
Fair $1,935

But even with zero miles or 30,000...the price won't go up...it's all age. from 01 to 09 my cars value has dropped 3900...not included added damage.

Yeah, 2000 is not a stretch I guess. Sorry, lol, I was pretty groggy when I typed that.

A $3,000 CB7 to me, would be swapped (probably H22), full exhaust, lowered, rims, leather, and a factory straight body. That I would pay $3,000 for. Any rust, and it becomes a $2000 car to me. Any dents, serious scratches, rips in the interior, stains, leaks, etc and it becomes a 2000> car in my book.

-es polyurethane kit
-new rack and pinion
-new rear drum setup
-new front brakes

You have somewhat low expectations. I have seen those that you mention go without hesitation for $5-7K. The STILL trade for more than that, if they are clean and done right, for more than what you would pay.

[tgdrums1990]

Same here. It's like watching a puppy get kicked to death. I'll pass.

ya the cfc program literally doesnt apply to Honda, majority of toyota and nissans. I work at the honda dealership in my town an we took in over 107 cars. NONE of which were hondas. and only toyota we had was a corolla and a couple trucks with 1 nissan truck. crap ton of domestics, an audi and a mercedes. gettin me sum hid's next round of em. its really depressing in all truth cause of sum of the cars are literally in awesum condition but still u have to "liquid glass" em. The stuff is aweful to mess with aswell. the activant is heat. supposed to go active at roughly 800-1K degrees but even just a warm to hot day will cause it to activate if its spilled on clothes. the clip makes me a sad panda now
