You might get $800 for it, even bags of crap cars still have some value.

Use it as a grass / gravel autocross hack, and get some "learn to race in a slow car" going. That way if you roll it at Kapiti track, you won't be so upset.

kind of have to sell it for something so i can get the cash together for the integra type R i want.

yeah i mean at the end of the day its a presentable, driveable car with a wof and reg.

other option is bail on the type R, keep this for a daily and buy something that i dont have to worry about keeping running 24/7

type R will be reliable as long as its not been too messed with by muppets, are you concerned about the daily prospects of a type R?

i cant see you wanting to get into the festiva once you have the keys to a DC2

Not worried about dailying a type r, more that ill need to flick this off to complete my funds for the type r

Although if i had both i would still daily the festiva, to keep a bit more low key when im working etc.

just $1 reserve it, you'll get something for it. But I'd suggest against wasting any more of your money on it (because you're unlikely to get it back again)

I wouldn't bother. Unless you are doing half the job and literally just replacing the belt. Even then, I wouldn't bother. As mentioned, you'll likely get $0 more.
