My wife's Civic Si is officially on the auction block.

In reply to David S. Wallens:
If I had room for a third car, I'd be all over that.
I'm sure it'll go to a good home. Good luck!

WHAT!?!?!!? NO 50hp stickers? Dude, how are you going to win at race wars without them!
I'm kidding. In all seriousness as far as used honda's go, that's CLEEEEEEEEEEAAAN! GLWS! I wish honda's and I got along better, but unless it's two wheeled, they don't stay around my house long.

Honestly, nothing too bad. I'm thinking/guessing that this is going to appeal to a slightly older buyer. Or course, that's just a guess.
By the way, our next podcast talks about the car market and how it has changed. Anyone remember the '90s? If you had a cool car to sell, maybe you did Autoweek or saved up for a Road & Track ad. Today there are so many options that you need to figure out the right one for your car. Is it more appropriate for here, eBay, Bring A Trailer, one of the auction houses, your local craigslist or what?
I'm going through this right now, in fact. I figured the Civic would get interest here and decided that eBay was most appropriate. The Civic isn't an exotic, but it has national appeal--probably more interest in northern climates, to be honest.
Our '71 Mini Cooper is also about to go on the auction block--like later today, I think. For that one, I'm doing it through Bring A Trailer. I think that market will more appreciate the car. eBay might have more eyeballs, but I still think it will benefit from BAT's target marketing.
These new options have also done something to our car world: Cars are now a bit more liquid. Need to turn a car into cash? That can now be done in a week or two. (And is that good or bad?)
Bring a Trailer has always been fun to browse, but these days the comments can be pretty brutal with a lot of unnecessary implications in some cases.
As far as the various methods for selling now.... it's great for sellers, but not so much for guys looking to score a deal imo.

Both. It's great that if I need to unload a car asap I can make it happen. Heck, price it low enough on craigslist and it's gone in an hour.
On the flipside I can find every Civic or what have you for sale in a 400 mile radius in minutes. That's always made me try to be competitive on price and take less than I might have hoped for.

The one in Nashville? No offense to the car, but I've been to Jeff's museum a few times and don't think that car quite fits in there.
We know the Lane people well. Awesome people and a great place to visit. Not sure if they still have it, but at one point there was a Tommi Mäkinen Evo in the basement.
