which is worth more standard or tuned?

[JohnOBrien8]

Which in your opinion is worth more?like i will only keep mine for another year and if i bought this it would be the same.
But I would like a b18 ek9!this looks spotless and has some spec,his has more spec to be fair but mine is original,facelift and black! really cant decide what i want! what sort of power would it be with that spec?
Like when i do go to sell i dont want to be stuck with something that wont sell!

the one i'm interested in
CIVIC TYPE R EK9 B18C for sale in Limerick : €6,500 - DoneDeal.ie
Cheers

Standard

I may sound ignorant, but if he has it mapped with Hondata S300 why would he have the Apexi piggybacks installed (i.e. Apexi Neo)?

It dePends on what someone is looking for. Some people would prefer a standard and others would prefer a tuned car. Depends on buyer really

Depends on the buyer.

In my case, I prefer standard, since the car has a chance that it wasn't "abused" with constant high rev driving.

For example, I'll not buy a car that has a ebay chip on a ecu, why? Because the map is not designed for the car's engine, and bolt on mods (which are the most common), and I don't know if the car will have a engine damage because of running some "generic" chips....

In my opinion even if you buy your a tuned or a standard honda you should take it to a mechanic for close inspection.

good luck...

This is the one I was tempted by but I refuse to get a 9 after my last one, plus I want something abit newer. Epic car tho can't see it being a reliable runner tho, put mOney on it smokes on vtec ect.

standard, because you can see the real condition of the vehicle
