Hi Everyone!
First off, let me say that 9thCivic has been an incredible source for me and my research of the new 2014 Civic as my next car purchase (99.9% sure that it will be my next ride). I'm technically a new member, but I've been reading through these forums for the past year to learn everything I can about the Civic Si sedan. Now that I have made the decision that I want this car, I need to initiate the next step in the car buying process which would be to sell my current car.
Currently I drive a 5 speed manual transmission, 1989 Civic DX Hatchback which was purchased brand new back in the day by my Dad and was passed down to me when I first got my drivers license. Mechanically, The car is completely stock (obviously some parts have been replaced with new ones over the years) with only a few modifications to the sound system. Timing belt has been adjusted recently, engine doesn't burn oil, (leaks just a little bit, but not bad at all compared to other 25+ yr old cars), air conditioning works great (new compressor and converted to new R134A) and it averages around 35 MPG city+Highway driving! I even once got 42 MPG when on a road trip once!
Now I know these cars can potentially be somewhat valuable due to enthusiasts making the most of this cars low stance, excellent visibility, and double wishbone suspension set up for auto crossing and track use, not to mention the huge aftermarket for "tricking out" this hatch.
How much do you guys think this car is worth? Could I realistically get $3000 for it? $2500? (I know that sounds like a crazy number, but this car is in excellent condition). Thank you all for your time and thoughts! Here are some pics...

oh and welcome! I think 2500$ is a reasonable number without doubt
