hi, how is the resale value on this car? what are some problems people get with their S? and also, lol this is stupid questoin but how many of you guys got the speakers that goes behind the head rest?? and if so, is it worth haveing or will it blow your ears? haha thx for the replies guys.

 

oh and also... do people steal this car as much as like civic/tegs?? i hear they usually get their seats and front rims stolen. but wat about the whole car?? do people usually jack the whole car, i cant think of what they can do with the engine unless they got money to convert their civic/teg to rwd. thanks

 

1. The re-sale value is very good if you keep the car in good shape and refrain from modding it.

2. As for problems, the "search" tool will help you find all the info you need on that. I would say the most common problem/complaint would be the 1-2 grind in the trannies.

3. Again, use the "search" to find info on the headrest speakers. I personally do not have them, and from what I have read they aren't that great.

4. I haven't read too much about thefts with this car. I would think that items being stolen from the car itself(stereo, valuables, etc) is more of an issue than the car itself being stolen.

Resale value is very good and so far my 04 has been flawless with 7k miles.

Wife got me a set of head rest speakers for Xmas $ 400.00 from Hardtop Guy.

They sound very good and no they wont bust your ear drums. The sound

quality should improve when i get my new head unit. The only problem with the

headrest speakers is that it cost 423.00 dollars to install by Honda. I nearly shit.

They have to take out seats and do some modification to the back of the headrest.

But being that im friends with the owner of the dealership i now have a 100.00

dollar credit with them. If you get the headrest speakers work out a deal when

you buy the car and make sure it comes with the install.

 

Let me get this straight, the install on the speakers is over 400 dollars, and that doesn't include the cost of the speakers? How much are the speakers when purchased from Honda? Does anyone have picks after the install has been completed?

 

That would be one hell of a fast Civic or 'teg .... in reverse

 

Speakers are 400.00 from Hardtop Guy.......thats as cheap as you'll get em as far

as i know. Install was very clean. Honda has a 14 page install step by step. This is

why i let Honda do it i wanted it done right ......took all damn day.

 

I have the S-pod rear speaker add on that can be found in the group buy section. I did the main install myself and had a local car audio shop do the final connection of rear speaker wires to the head unit. I got to buy the quality of speaker I wanted, and the final connection cost only about $40.

I enjoy the added sound of this speaker system, and its only as loud as you dial it up to be.
