Value of 04 Civic Hybrid 5spd w 86k?

[jimg3525]

I've got a nice clean 04 Civic Hybrid 5spd with 86k. I am including a simple grid charger, a spare IMA battery in decent shape to use while reconditioning. The IMA battery in the car is in great shape. I bought a set of original cells removed from a rebuild which turned out to be in almost new condition. Will also include an IMA shell that could be rebuilt. I can provide the data from the last recondition on the two complete IMA batteries. Also have a box with some spare supplies; shrink tubing, PT strips, etc. that I will include.

I bought the car 6 years ago with 59k. It had an a/c compressor installed and an O2 sensor about 2 years ago. The tires still have about half their tread. 5/32 on two, 6/32 on one and one is new due to a blowout a few months ago. They are NOT LRR. I had window tint installed to help keep the interior cooler for IMA health.

I'm having trouble finding a value for the car because of the low miles. Please advise what everything listed above should be worth.

I have listed it on Craigslist for $3900.

I imagine you would have a hard time trying to get more than $7000 for it, that's my guess. It is low miles, but its still 13 years old. Oh yeah, and since its a manual, it is going to take a while to sell.

The grid charger is a nice addition to the car, but you might be better off selling the spare battery and parts separately unless the car's buyer wants them. They would be worthless to a non-enthusiast.

Yea I would guess 3-5k at most.

An 04 Civic around here with those miles can go for about 5k I'd estimate. Hybrid will kick that up a little, but not a ton.

The hybrids are worth less than the standard car.

I'm trying to get 2000 for my 2004 with 145k on it.

I'd agree that the hybrids go for less... try trading into a dealer and see what they offer.. you'll tell them to piss off and sell on the street and even there you'll sit on it for a while trying to get a buyer. It's because the batteries can go out anytime and it's a very high cost to replace them unless you are an intelligent do it yourselfer. Non-Hybrids have no such worries. I bought an older Prius pretty cheap because of the lower cost and decided to gamble it as I know I can replace a few cells if I have to and the Prius has a very good track record. BTW, I almost always favor Hondas... my favorite by far...except for a Hybrid.

Wow, quite a range of possible values. Guess I should start at something in the middle, like maybe $5000 and see what happens. I don't think you see too many HCH1s any more with less than about 250k.

I would love it if an enthusiast buys it. That's why I'm including the extra IMA battery, etc.

I don't think these cars are for the average driver. When they get an IMA code and Honda tells them $4k for a new IMA battery they would likely be pissed.

2 door or 4 door?

It's a 4-door sedan. I'll add some pictures tomorrow. I wasn't aware that they made these in a 2-door version.
