What's up with some people thinking their Honda's are Ferrari's? :dunno:

Like in February I came across some guy in Westhill's who was selling his 82 Lude for 5 grand..all it had was rims, paint job and a deck

Its only a rip off if somebody buys it. I really doubt that car sold. Its just the honda hype.

Cause they are good fucking cars, and their price reflects this.

Plus, honda has a hype about it. If you own a civic, you might as well own a Supra, cause thats the hype. Of course this really ownly applies to folks unlike ourselves, who dont understand the true averageness of the civic. Now im not sayin that all civics suck, just most of them. They are the same as Corolla's, Golf's, Sentra's, ETC. These cars suck as well, but they just dont have the hype, so its more generally recognised.

EDIT: i thoght id add, that im talking about these cars in general. Like what is most commonly on the streets (base models).

i agree they are good cars..but paying 10 grand for a 10 yr old car? or 5 grand for a 20 yr old car??

If the price is really too high, nobody will buy it and the price will eventually come down.

If someone does buy it, then good for both of them.

Complaining on the internet isn't going to get people to lower their asking prices.

yah they will go down..but im not complaining here..im just asking why some people would ask 5 grand for a 20 year old car?

In case soemone really wants the car and will pay for it.

You always start with a really high price and take offers. That's how it always is.

Why are you complaining on the net....
if you dont like the price, then offer him something, if its still too high then forget about it and dont buy it.
simple as that.

its an observation. I dont think anybody here wants an 82 lude. Ewwww.

03-30-2003, 04:41 PM
my buddy just bought a 84 lude for $800. buts it's falling apart.

Well as a buyer your the one who decides if that is what you want. crap I paid $6000 for my 1990 240sx. just needs some touch up paint and a few rust spots fixed and the car is in perfect condition. But if you have a problem with what someone is asking for, look for a different one, its that simple.

Thats a dumb comment. Honda's (contrary to popular belief) are not the shit, and i got another for you as well, the world is round, not flat.

But just read my other posts, i made it clear that though they are Ok cars, they do not live up to the hype when dealing with people who know what they are talking about. A 94 civic is not any better than a 94 golf or a 94 corolla (in general), it just 'got the hype'. BTW, if a honda is an AWSOME car, then pretty much every other import is as well.

lol i dont think its the civc hype, its just general pricing it high for reasons already mentioned. Civics are on the bottom of the food chain of cars or close to it, its really hard for me believe that some people can't see that.

Perception is reality.

If the general population perceives that Hondas are better cars, then Honda resale prices will be inflated compared to other brands.

It is not necessarily the price in the black book but it is the market value.....I mean if people are willing to pay $20K for a 93 Del Sol (10 years old, modded) then sure why not right??!

What about them old school classic cars? I swear they are like 50 years old but still fetched above original value? lol

hondas hold there value, for example a 1993-94 civic si coupe is going for about 8-10k depending on km....so is a 1993 bmw sedan.....most japanese cars are wicked for resale..and easy to sell....dunno why anyone buys domestic crap

03-30-2003, 09:26 PM
I like and enjoy my 97 civic alot :) The civic is also canadas #1 selling car ( I think ? ) The next car I buy will also be a honda or a acura, because they are very good vehicles. I do not agree with people asking for too much for a car not worth that, but you don't have to buy it. :) It's also up to you what car you like, if you don't like the hondas or import cars, then buy an american car. :thumbsup:

Thats my 2 cents :clap:

Its because people are willing to pay say 10k+ for cars that are 10years old, that is why

dude, you gotta fill me in on this "hype" you're talkin' 'bout... there's no civic hype, is there? The only hype 'bout civics that I can think of is good resale value, good gas mileage and awesome realiability. If that's the "hype" you're talkin' 'bout then I would say the civic is doin' a damn good job carryin' this "hype" on it's shoulders. :rolleyes:

Its all about supply demand...

if people are willing to pay more (like shadowz said) you'll be able to sell ur car for more..

take a crx for example....they selll anywhere from a grand to close to 10g

I drive older domestic autos because they are very comfortable and reliable. I am 6'5" and I find imports to be very small inside to the point of being uncomfortable. If the Japanese actually made a car that fit an average size man than MAYBE I would consider buying one.






On second thought I wouldn't.

Elaborate on this very informative and fine post.

Since when was 6' 5" an "average" sized man?
And why wouldn't you consider an import? Seriously

Seriously wtf is up with that? is that the rest of canada too or just alberta? cuz its not like that in the States is it?

RiceCake
03-31-2003, 12:13 AM
Most imports such as VW, Honda, Toyota will hold a good resale due to its records of reliablity.

If you find the prices too high, why not look into a domestic?

But 5G for a 82 lude is wrong...

Like I said I do find imports to be very small inside compared to what I am used to driving. Granted, I have not sat in every make and model but the ones I have sat in don't have a lot of room compared to what I am used too. I wouldn't buy one for that reason alone. I like big cars not tiny econo boxes. I also think that they are overpriced. Once a vehicle has over 250 000 km I get rid of it (Most of the time). So reliability isn't as much of a consideration for me. People say that imports are much more reliable than domestics which I doubt but if it is true it doesn’t matter to me. Any POS should last 250 000 km if it is properly maintained, so the "extra" reliability of an import is not a consideration for me. Besides, nothing beats the sound of a V-8.

hahaha take a drive down deerfoot...tell me how many imports u see in the side with there hood up...i say 3 domestics today..and if you do see an import , its cause of a flat, probably from a domestic car falling apart.....ohh and if you see a domestic with 250km on it..its probably on its 3rd engine

Fair enough. Granted, imports are generally under powered and designed in Japan, which is the rationale for the smaller built cars.

Have you tried an Accord V6 or Camry V6. Not totally sluggish, beautiful vehicles, and lots of room (rivals many of the 6cyl domestic family rides).

For your info my 85 F150 which I have owned for 13 years has over 300 000km on it with the ORIGINAL engine. It is badly rusted over the rear wheels but the body is good otherwise. If my truck was an import every body panel would have been plagued with rust. I own a Honda product and the engine blew up after 8 000 km so don't tell me about Japanese superiority cause I don't buy it!

03-31-2003, 12:44 AM
what i meant was that some fool in grade 11 gets a 91 civic si and they think they are the shite in their vtec racer. i know that the majority of US know this is crap, but folks who know shit about cars seem to think that a civic is the be all and end all of import speed. But maybe its just this way around where i live.

SpoonEK9@STRD
03-31-2003, 01:04 AM
yeah but some cars are worth the amount, though it doesnt look like it to some people... spending 20,000 on a (lets say a 90) crx in 1 year...and only selling it for only 12,000... that isnt resonable? considering it may have a 5 year old motor in it, new paint with all new body panels...


if you were selling it, get the most you can right?

So are you gonna make a judgement that domestics are more reliable then imports from having just this 1 experience?
Can you explain to me why it is that Imports are known to be more reliable then domestics??

03-31-2003, 01:28 AM
LOL. What does a 98 SI go for? about 15 grand?

We got the 98 SE-R for 12,500 and I'll take one over and model of civic any day.

I don't know why people think resale value is so good. When I buy a car, I look hard for something I want so that I don't have to sell it in a couple years. If I can get a used car at a good price then sweet, fuck used cars with high resale.

03-31-2003, 03:27 AM
Why do people overprice their hondas? There is a VERY simple answer, because if SOMEONE will overpay, take advantage and overcharge! If I had a civic and someone wanted to pay like $45000 for it, you better believe I'll sell it for that much! :rofl:

All I am saying is that I have had good luck with domestics so that is what I will stick with. Many people bash domestics with without having even owned one. Like I said if you keep a vehicle for 300 000km or more maybe imports are the way to go. The people that I know with imports have less than 250 000 km, and they are not any more reliable than the domestic autos I have owned. The domestic autos I own are 18, 24 and 33 years old and all have performed faithfully so why would I waste my time on something else?

Makes Sense...... and alot of people have had good experiences with imports and not so good ones with domestics, so thier opinions will be opposite.....and thats that.
My Mom bought a Brand new Cavalier in '91, by the time she traded it in to the Dealership in around 97-98 she had replaced the Head gasket, a COMPLETE Engine( forget what went wrong) and 2 Tranny's, Thankfully most of This was done in the first 3-4 years when still covered under warranty. Just an example of typical Domestic "Qaulity" for ya.....When she traded it in (towed in with a cooked tranny mind you) they gave her $3000....thats some SWEET re-sale value!:rolleyes:

Most Older Imports can still fetch alot becuase they are Generally reliable desirable cars, the numbers speak for themselves.

Just because young teenaged kids can afford them, and then people who use YOU for money decide to make after market parts for dumb kids with to much money to spend. Does not make them AWESOME cars in anymeans. Dont be so ignorant because you own one :dunno:

Mazda is not the best handling car... tht is wuite ignorant to say as well. Just because Ford owns Mazda, it doesn't mean it is the best in the handling department by default.

Don't get me wrong the RX-7 FD, MP3, MPS are great cars, but other maufacturers have a lot to offer. Basically you can't take the companies one flagship car and generalize the whole lineup as being the best.

03-31-2003, 02:48 PM
if you take every car mazda makes, and put it up against everycar honda makes... mazda makes better handling cars...

Mazda 6 = Accord
Miata = S2000 would be pretty even
Rx7 = ?!?!
Protege 5 = Civic

and ford owning mazda has nothing to do with it... ford cars suck, dont think cause I own a ford, and they own mazda I acually give to shits to brag about how good they are

A product (any product...cars, clothing, hookers) is only worth what someone is willing ot pay for it. If someone bought a 82 lude for 5000, then it is worth 5000.....the justification is in the fact that someone paid that much....not saying it is fair market value or even close, just that it is worth it....to some idiot :rolleyes:

I love how all hondas owners take offence when ever you say anything about their cars... I was talking about buddy saying there are two people in life Cool people with money and civics and the rest...
I have put tons of money into my car to mod it, nothing wrong with modding a car. I would never say my car is better then any other car because its all up to the owner and what they want for what price is in their budget... But saying you arnt cool if you cant afford a honda is ummm :bullshit:

ConVict
03-31-2003, 05:09 PM
The bottom line is, no one car company is better then the others. Due to reliability, performance, cost, warrenties, looks, and so on you can not put a label on any car company to be better then another... Other wise everyone in the world would have a honda because its obviously dumb to buy anything else...

Thats all I am saying :thumbsup:

So when someone says something like this " its so funny to see people bitch just becasue hondas are awsome cars and they unfortunatly can't get one " Its just plain stupid

hondas are just the POPULAR car to own and thats the only reason so many people are buying them. If you people would quit bitching about my hondas the best cuz its a honda or vice versa and just respect peoples rides and the time and money put into it things would be alot better, when it all comes down to it we are all into the same thing and thats modding our cars so theres no reason to act like little bitches.end of discussion

03-31-2003, 07:58 PM
couple things to consider
- sellers will always try to sell for as much as they can sell for
- consumers will always try to buy for the lowest price

hondas may not be more overpriced than say toyotas, look at the ae86 or how about the mazda 323gtx? people are willing to pay the high price hence sellers continue to list that high, you want domestics? i'm not completely sure but i think some of the older corvettes still fetch a much higher rate than what they should depreciate at

liken it to a beer . . . go the liquor store, it's like 1.25/beer . . . go to the local pub, it's ~3.50 . . . go to the bar, it's like 4.50 . . . go sit on an airplane, it's 5 . . . it's all the same beer, unopened, the one in the liquor store is just as cold if not colder than some of the beers i've had at the bar . . . hell go to Van and buy a beer after 2am, it's $7.50 - $9, we complain but what can we do, it's late and where else can we drink, to sum it up, there are people who are willing to pay whatever for whatever so why not get as much as you can get for it???

how do they do those kinds of reports? If they put two cars that are equal in price, I'd think they'd get some more fair votes. Like, the civic is what, 6G's on average more than a cavalier costs down at the lot. When come to think of it, to alotta people looking for a beginner car, reliability doesnt always come first. People shop by price and price range, and frankly to say it best, alotta people go cheap, and pickup a cavalier or sunfire (prolly one of the cheapest ecoboxes you can get right now). And if the vast majority of people are shopping by price, you get more crap drivers and selfish drivers making up that vote.

Now, dont get me wrong, and Im not bashing any domestica/import here, but when I was shopping for my first car, dollar per dollar ratio, the domestic gave me more for my money. Like a CD player, and air conditioning, dual side airbags, alloy to name a few. All in all, my car came with more, and still cost less than the civic we looked at (which didnt have any of those features.. came with steelie wheelies.) Not bad for a starter vehicle. All the features, albeit not necessarily the best, at least were bonus'. I havent had any problems of any kind for the three years I've owned it, but Im just speaking from my own experiences.

I wanted a new vehicle without breaking the bank. The domestics are getting better, and Im confident it'll be really good one day, maybe not as advanced as their import counterparts, but hey, even the japanese were at this point at one time or another.:nut:

Domestics take the reliabilty cake when it comes to serious power. Ie FWD transaxles and cv shafts tend to take a shit on the track under some serious load/traction.
$2500cdn gets me a std tranny that will hold into the 9's.

For an a-b car, yeah, i'll agree that the imports have the edge when it comes to reliability, Thus why i drive a nissan in the winter and ford to kick some ass in the summer:D

my rsx is for sale....$550000

convict...I read your shit all the time...just when I start to think you are normal...you try to sound smart in a thread like this...dont argue about shit that you are clueless about. Trying to get an import guy to switch to domestic is impossible over the net...same goes for a domestic driver. You cant just rant your shit and expect people to "ohhh, that makes sence, Im gonna go trade my car tomorrow"

Man I'm in a pissy mood.

ohh, and an NSX will outhandle a RX-7 anyday.

I don't think it's quite fair to compare an exotic mid engined to a 2+2 GT car.

Honda has no direct comparasin, only ones that do are nissan (300zx TT) and toyota (supra TT) though I guess maybe the 3000GT VR4 could be in that group too.

I am not trying to convince imports to love domestics... most domestics suck haha. Like my car its an unreliable piece of shit. I am just saying, there is an upside and a down side to pretty much every car on the market... and I was mad at momo civic for being a dumb ass:thumbsup:
