Should i trade my 92 4runner for this civic?

Post by SupraRacer »

As some of you know i recently bought a 2000 4Runner, well i need to sell my old 92 4runner before Nov. 2 so i can have a $4200 bill of sale so the tax is cheaper. Well i have someone offering me this car as a trade if i was interested. Seems decent but idk. I would be selling this car, but it may be easier to sell than my 4runner is. Here is what he sent me:

"currently i have a 1997 honda civic hx with 132,xxx miles on it that i would be willing to trade. it is a 5 speed and gets about 38 mpg on the freeway and 34-35 in town. it has new low pro tires on rota slipstream wheels, full stainless 2.5 inch exhaust, h&r lowering springs with front and rear strut tower braces (both upper and lower in the rear), short shifter, cold air intake and alpine alarm. it's a great little car that has absolutely no rust whatsoever (it has spent its life in the high desert of eastern washington/oregon and idaho and we've only been in illinois since august). it has a clean washington title."

My truck is now in perfect working order and is in great shape. My truck blue books for $4700, this civic without all the mods books for $4200. and it has ~40K miles less and gets over 3x the gas mileage. Im pretty sure it would be much easier to sell. but idk what do you guys think, i dont know much about hondas or if this one is even a good one. lmk your opinions what would you do?

HX's are nice little cars, very high gas mileage and retain a good amount of creature comforts. honestly, I'd do it, but I'm a honda guy so thats a given. they aren't "fast" (quick, whatever you would call it), but at 115hp (crank est.) and the weight reductions done to the HX's, they hold their own just fine in the daily driver world.

Well so far I'd say it's worth that, somewhat low mileage with it looks to be a clean body but engine and interior pics could settle it.

I would think so... shit, rust free and relatively low mileage... if I had $4k and needed another car, I would buy it.


let me go talk to my brother
