    To swop or not to swop?

    Ok so was confronted by a bouncer last night but luckily for him he didn't want trouble lool

    What he did want was to buy my Evo, now the guy was/is prepared to pay what I'm after for it but he also offered me his 58 plate Civic type R as below, 28k so same as mine ect...

    I am contemplating selling the Evo after 12 years of ownership so although the Type R is nothing in comparison value wise it's possibly worth mine and then some.

    I would ofcourse flog the R and buy an Evo 8 maybe....

    Anyway input? and car below.

    It's a tough one...

    After owning a car for 12 years, I'd have too much sentimental value in it.

    What's the civic worth? £8k?

    No Dan I saw the light and binned the ponsey rims and got Rota's



    I want around the 8.5k for the Evo so it's relative in terms of value is the civic.

    But you are right Ben I've had that car since my early 20's

    How easy would it be to sell the civic?

    How many 26k civics are there for sale compared to 26k evos'?

    I'd think you would struggle to sell the common civic, where as the evo is rare.
