Same thing happened to me, the honda dealer called my house and asked if I wanted to sell me 2000 si, they said if I traded it in they would sell me a brand new 06 si for around 10k or something...it was tempting but I said no
96-00 civic most wanted?

I might have to frequent my honda dealership now and see if I get calls for offers haha
06 Si for an additional 10k???
I would say yes. I saw a 99 DX hatch with 60K miles in the paper going for $9500. I was like "good god".Jersey8 said:

and it was stock.
anyone think they'll go for more down the road? or do you they're peaking right now?
s**t thats redic. idk i havent been looking at civic prices in my area lately but i bought my stock 97 hatch with 66k miles for only $3,000. and that was 2 years ago. idk maybe the demand wasnt so high back then.stolibears said:I would say yes.

Damn that sucks. I was in Wilmington last weekend. Fun town. Does the salt air damage your car any? The girl I bought my Civic from went to school there but I don't think she had it at the time.HondaSpeedaX said:
Yes, salt air will damage a car. The moisture in the air is bad enough (though nearly all areas in the US have that) but salt is just horrid to have on a car. I always used to try to wash mine after being near the beach even. Don't forget to spray down heavy underneath the car.xposigroovex said:
Damn i want to sell my 99si... that would be sweet if someone offered me 10k for it. It has a complete RSX front end conversion, clean title, one owner, and 80k miles. 
i would pay it off, and buy a beater! <-- don't have to worry about someone stealing a POS... but the SI gotta always wonder... is it still outside?

ok, I was off on that last post about the hatch for sale where I am, it has 20K miles instead of 60K, but still...

Nah not too much salt in the air around the school, it's close to the beach, but it's still about a 10 min drive in light traffic, so not too much damage salt-wise.xposigroovex said:
And I repeat my previous question, do you think they are peaking now and I should sell and upgrade? or should I hold onto it longer? i think so many people are taken with the 8th gen that the price of the 6th gen will peak soon so i wanna get a nice return on a purchase kinda type thing maybe errr yea.
That really has to do with where you live. I keep tabs from time to time on what kbb.com rates my car at and for the last 2 years, the price hasn't really changed much and I really don't think it will change that much more in the next year, even with the introduction of the new civics. The only competition I think you would have is used 7th gen civics comming down in price. As far as looks though, 6th gens look better then 7th gen IMO.HondaSpeedaX said:
