Would this be worth it?

[1993ACCORDMAN]

I am considering doing a trade with my 2002 337 GTI. It has mild mods and only 39,000 miles on it. I am thinking of trading for a 1999 Civic Si with about 56,000 on it and alot of work done to it. Here the basics:
B20 bottom end-43,000 on it
B16 Head and intake-original with 56,000 on it
Forged Pistons/Rings/Rods
Greddy Turbo Kit
Greddy FMIC
3 in exhaust
3 pc 5zigen wheels
repainted nissan 350z blue
lowered
Dyno's 325WHP @ 10 PSI on 91 octane gas
etc
lots more done but you get the idea
Is this a good trade? Here a pic of his car

looks like a pretty good deal i have seen your v dub on here and it's sick i love those r32's though, but that civic looks nice just needs like a lip or something up front, cause the back and sides stick down a little farther, but its got more potential for power gains too, i'd say do it simply because civic are 1000000000000000000000000000000 times easier to work on than vw's

I think it depends a lot more on whether YOU think it's a good trade.

[501accord]

isnt that a MN car?

re

No the car is from Arizona that I am looking at. Yeah he has a front lip for it, just not installed. That why it looks a little off.
What would you value the cat at? His that is
Oh yeah he also has a authentic Mugen valve cover that goes with it as well

If I owned the VW, I'd trade it for the SI. I personally love SI's and plan on owning one eventually. But, in the end it's up to you.

i'd prolly say it would definately go for 8 grand without the mods so 12 grand or more it would definately get no more than 15 though..at all

Its gonna get stolen. Those things get stolen like no other car I have seen. Id get it if you had a garage or something to store it in. Other than that I would avoid it. Thats just me loved the em1 si but hated how thieves could get in so easily.

That car would be great!....just install an after market immobilizer and you are gold...

...then tell your insurance company that you installed an immobilizer and they will send you chocolates.

**looks like the SI is missing a front lip

re

Yeah I dont know what to do. Lol I wish I could buy his car and keep my GTI. IF only I was rich. lol
Yeah he has the lip it damaged at the moment. It also has a VIS bumper as well. He is getting it repaired

re

Also forgot to mention that it comes with an assload of parts as well
Including a Greddy 4-2-1 header, AEM fuel filter, extra set of HID's, AEM intake, and a REAL MUGEN valve cover.

Another question is the mugen valve cover really rare and exspensive Im not sure myself. It is an authentic one as well

[NAiL05]

You sure its authentic. There are a lot of replicas online.

re

He said it was new and he paid $2,500 for it. Does that sound right?

[JoshM]

He said it was new and he paid $2,500 for it. Does that sound right?

For a valve cover??? Psssshhhhhh. He's lying.

[1993ACCORDMAN]

re

Possibley lying. But he not super far off on price though. Well in consideration that it is only a valve cover-
