you'd see clean standard ek's making €6k ish. i reckon it's worth it. one of those rare instances where an engine transplant actually increases the value. i mean bare k20 engines go for over €1k don't they?

For 10k it doesn't exactly have the best bits you could put on a k20.

No RBC, k100 instead of a kpro and a AEM induction kit instead of a tegiwa/GruppeM.

I've seen better specced k20 civics sell for less so wouldn't agree with the price to be honest.

The log book issue is also something I would not like having to deal with. If you meet a Garda who knows what to look for, you'd be ****ed.

In fairness that K20 looks fantastic and I always had respect and secret love to k20 ek9s. I dont even know if asking 10k for it is in dreamer category.

nice example, but jaysus!

If that yoke is in county Cork then it will sell at close to that price I'd say, people seem to have a mad horn for them down here.

Still a huge dreamer though!

ANYONE describing this car as a stunner is already deluded. I didn't read past that word.
A Ferrari or a Lambo are stunning cars, not an ancient Jap crapbox.

And some fake walnut dash and even a/c. Sure that has to be nearly 1900 euros worth there alone :pac:

When the ad said stunner like it was something amazing I just thought of cruising down the town some how I don't think you'd get to many jealous looks from people as that word insinuates you would.

yeah, but they added so much value ripping out the original engine and placing a dayysul into it, she'll do 60 to the gallon now lad!
What a dingbat. Car is practically worthless now.

young lads will get a stiffy for it now it's diesel, but in fairless a fairly stock turbo petrol model will do 40-45mpg if you drive it any way reservedly, sacrafising 70bhp (almost 50% of the cars power) for the sake of 15mpg seems crazy, not to mention the more expensive tax and explaining to insurers about some obscure engine swap.

that car seems to have been pretty much constantly for sale for the last 6 months. everyone must buy it, then feel disappointed. dearest i seen it was for €3200 in wexford.

But it's had a 60 point health check that has to be worth 30k there straight away :pac:
It's hard to see anyone having 70k to throw at it. But I suppose they wouldn't have bought it if they didn't think there was some market for it.

They think its 2006 again, where Irish people would buy a classic car in the UK for 600 pound and sell it here for €2k. Then people in housing estates would park them in rhe rain and wonder why there was only a puddle of rust left a year later.
I'd say Ireland was responsible for the destruction of thousands of classic cars in that time.

One of these sold in Japan recently for over £100,000. So when you look at it that way, this is a bargain.

Thats true as McCabes Ardee closed down and their stock was liquidated.... But it does not make that vehicle worth the smell of 70 grand... It's not even an Irish jeep.... Import from S.Africa.... Market value €25k ish.. maybe 30 on a good day. But I'm sure some lunatic will buy it and inflate the price of all the rusty ones even more.
