The part for that car is about 100$-$200 online. If I had that car here I would have one of my drunkard crack head mechanics over here fixing it for under $500 TOTAL. If buyer wants to blow money getting the same job done at the dealership for $2000 that's his dumb arse problem.

This is true. I had the clutch changed in my old 08 Si at a friends shop. Took a few hours and I paid him $400. The same job at any non dealer shop shouldn't be more that about $650.

Anybody looking to buy a 06-10 civic Si will have to live with the fact that the clear coat is gone. All the paint colors except taffeta white from those years had problems and Honda did a shitty job owning up to fixing them after issuing the service bulletin. Paint on a 10 year old car is never great anyways.

I would get the car fixed, then sell it, or rather drive it.
