What to do...

So i have this 2000 civic lx...It was sorta dumped with me but i dont mind because it's a free car. it's been treated like crap. But basically im debating on what to do with it. should i keep it and make it look so stupid like everyone does with a civic so that i can point and laugh at myself, just fix it enough to look reasonable and sell it, or fix it up a little, make it look somewhat stupid like ppl do, and sell it? Remember it has a base model engine in it, 4 banger no vtech. ugly 4 door silver. what do u think?

I'd sell it. There's not a whole lot you can do to a 4dr Civic to make it look presentable.

That's what I would do. If you got it for free, anything you make is profit.

Touch it up a little bit and sell it. You'll gain some knowledge fixing the problems and will sell it for something you want.

no it's a auto. it's basically the civic that no one wants, that parents want to give their 15 year old.

I say detail it yourself and make it look good again and then sell it to some parents who want to give a boring car to their 15 year old.

Oh, and acuratl_2nr. That Civic doesn't look half bad, but I'm just not a fan of souping up a sedan. Just my opinion.
