I think that was a bit too critical, and to an extent, inaccurate. The most important thing is that the body is clean, which I believe it is. I don't know, but OP could easily inspect in person and find out for himself. In regards to the mods, yes they do not give any extra value to the car, but they certainly wouldn't detract from it to the degree you believe they would. $700 is a sure fire offer to necessitate a slap to the face if cuzzo did that in person. And umm....what do you mean what type of manual transmission? There's only one offered to the D -series...and seeing that it is in fact a D-series, the car was probably not used for racing...so rest assured it'll have plenty of miles ahead of it. I say $3700 would be fair for this car, especially given some of the clean mods the guy did...but it is red. If you can, try to get it for 3K. It won't get much lower for EKs because they're still sought after...especially clean ones.Originally Posted by NikeAirsNCrispyTees

Sounds like a piece of !@!!.
Coilovers alone means that the person wanted a lower ride, but didn't realize that properly lowering a vehicle and keeping the body aligned and in decent shape requires a LOT more than just coilovers/springs/whatever.
The fact that there's no brand names tells me that they were probably whatever the flavor of the week was at AutoZone.
No info on transmission other than that it's manual (at 90k miles).
"Exhaust system"? He doesn't know what part of the exhaust? Headers? Cat back? Coffee can muffler? Is back pressure going to be an issue?
New brakes, but no other info on them?
Sounds like someone who thinks they're ready for a race but doesn't know the first thing about cars other than that they need to be low and have tow hooks.
I'd offer $700. Remember that mods do not add value (in this case). With just the coilovers having been on the car, the body might not even be squared.
If you want a modded car, buy a stock on in good condition and go from there. The mods on that car total less than $1k brand new anyways assuming they're not the cheapest possible parts.
Sorry if that's disappointing— just don't want a fellow NT'er to get shafted.
Only about 2k in mods. Exhaust, tune, CAI, tinted lights, tints. Not that much.Originally Posted by JewSeeJay

@SCShift: I wouldn't put money on the cheap ones being driven hard....however, I would for owners of DSMs and yes, the STis...basically anything with AWD + a snail. Anything with a K-series, especially if swapped is a good bet too....but those things are pretty bullet-proof...however the most problems can be had from force-inducted engines being pushed hard. Craigslist is really hit or miss. I peresonally think i scored a hit with my coilovers (aside from 1 corner having a bad bushing). When buying cars though, you should always get 2nd, 3rd or even 4th opinions from people who have actual mechanical knowledge. 9/10 they'll spot things the average guy will miss

this i understand where you were coming from but every mod put on the car is easily replaceable and you could use it to talk him down in the price. Im going to assume that is the stock motor for the car and it has low miles for the year. I would offer 2700 and prob settle at around 3000. Tell him to keep the roof rack and his cute little jdm stickers and enjoy your new car. Great starting point gl

I have a feeling you have no idea what your talking about. Even without the mods, the shell alone is worth 600-1000. with a motor and ****** 2-3k is more then reasonable.
and you are straight talking gibberish about coilovers not properly "keeping the body aligned" or what ever B.s. coilovers alone are worth more then 500 dollars. and is a way better idea then Springs. Coilovers on any car should keep the car "aligned"(of course with alignment after installation) LOL like keepz said its a D series motor, its not going anywhere and it can take alot of things thrown at it. Is back pressure gunna be an issue HAHAHAHAHA. even if it has new brakes (probably pads) its still a expensive he doesnt have to make.
eyeseesoles should test drive the car to see if there are any CEL, how the clutch is, and how the transmission shift. No whining, shifts are precise, and motor runs well (no leaky fluids or squeals. get a vehicle history report to see if there were any prior accidents.
