What makes yours so special vs one like this:

An IMA battery is about a $1000. These Civic hybrids aren't worth dick and many are likely taking less than what they're asking. The ad I posted the owner has recently replaced the IMA battery. If you think throwing money at a pleb car makes it more valuable to buyers you're sadly mistaken people expect that stuff to work.

 

that was weeks ago

 

I was never going to replace the battery, I advertised it as having a failing hybrid battery (it still works, just not very well).

$3,900 for a Civic with about the same mileage, and a new battery. A battery costs about $1,500 (with $500 for labor) subtract that and you get approximately $2,500.

That’s how I came to my price. I checked with dealers in my area, and similar Civics have sold for $4k on average.

 

yes

 

Dibs

 

If I decide to scrap it, then I’ll consider you.

You can use the cab, it’s just you can’t register it in California.

 

Not if i change vins i mean pay backfees

 

That was the old dude @eon_blue.

Doing all 4 wheel bearings is gonna cost you an arm, leg and probably a testy.

You could strip the front hub down/ get it off and have a shop press in/ out a new bearing and that would help cut some cost down.

I wouldn’t even attempt DIY the back, but that’s me.

 

the backs not hard at all.. its the damn tool thats a bitch to get your hands on. pulling the axles is easy if he wanted to pay a shop to press them together.

 

Well there ya go, disassemble and reassemble yourself to save a bit.

 

@Area51Runner

This is your cue

 

well.. thats... isnt that punishable by death in comiefornia?

 

Everything is legal till you get caught

 

Which reminds me, @Tour991 lives in Nevada, so he could technically buy it and register it no problem

 

Night bitches

 

fun.

 

i'll just steal the 5 lug. i wont face real punishment

 

Good plan, On my way now
