<div class="IPBDescription">About a Honda Civic '94</div> I need to find out aproximately how much the parts of a Honda Civic '94 would be worth. The car has about 130,000 miles, and does not have working Anti-Lock brakes.
I ran it into a telephone pole today due to a narrow road, snow, and a school bus, and so it got bashed up on the right front side. The bumper is completly cracked, and pieces have broken off at the point of collision. The bumper is falling off in other places as well.
It's an automatic, and everything else works fine.
We're not going to spend the money to fix it because it would probably not be worth it, so we need to find out how much it would be worth to sell.
All the tires are still intact and everything... The front right headlight is bashed up, and the front left one got like pushed in because of the impact.
It really sucks to have a car die like this. I keep feeling like I should have done something different... I keep looking back though and seeing that there wasn't really anything else to do. I couldn't turn more or I would have hit the school bus that was traveling far too fast.... I didn't panic and slam on the brakes. I tapped them to try to have as much traction as possible, and would have missed it, except my car went off the cleaner part of the road into the part with leaves and sand and everything, and all the traction disappeared. You could actually see in the tracks in the snow. I was going fine, curving slightly, and then I just suddenly go straight. Right into it.
If I had been going 10 mph rather then something like 20 mph it probably could have been avoidable, not entirely sure. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
My girlfriend was sitting in the back (without a seatbelt) and she got a bump on her head (but no concussion), and a scrape on her arm. My brother and I were in the front, both with seatbelts, and no injuries.
So yeah. Need information on the parts of a Honda Civic '94.
I'm not entirely sure what sites to look at or what to google for, but I'm going to try to do that now. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

how do you have 130,000 miles on a 1 year old car? <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
my 1993 elantra is at 98000
You might not be able to...but I can. Just a few clicks here and there, and....done. Hope that helps <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Hopefully that helps.
[edit: aside from that, if it still runs, you could consider trading it in. Some dealers take cars even if they're 'barely running' or if you tow them in - as trade-ins.]
Not to mention that no one worth their salt would be needing to pull parts from an automatic. :b
Although, I did state those prices would be the going rates for here in SF, SD. Again we don't have many people here so finding a vechile to be used specifically for parts would fetch a higher price then somewhere more populated I can only assume.
dont expect too much tho, thats a SOHC engine, and stock parts are normally what people are trying to replace. You can probally sell your intake, possible engine mounts, interior gauges and dash, steeringwheel, and maybe door electronics if they are in good condition. Just ebay 94 civic parts, and see what is selling.

auto's definitely have their use, but generally only in high Boost/tourque situations, like 450+, and even then unless you have a built tranny, you will get a better launch with a stick and a rev limitter like a HonData. As far as rice is concerned, its almost always better to have a stick, even at high tourque you can just get a better flywheel.

Thanks for all the help guys.
I have found, around here at least that if both cars have equal hp and weight, the autos almost always win unless there is another factor invloved be it drivetrain or whatnot.
Yes, I know a single mis-shift on an manual == lose.
I am disreguarding those occurances.
