CRXs...worth it?

[GTS Jeff]

The first one:
-1988 CRX Si
-253,000km
-Extensive rust on driver side rear wheel well, and a little rust elsewhere
-one of the CV boots needs replacing soon
-bald tires
-1 busted headlight

Otherwise, the car is in really good shape for an 88, the engine is still strong, and the car is completely stock. $3000 obo. I think I could bring it down to $2500.

The second one:
-1990 CRX Si
-175,000km
-patched up rust on the rear wheel wells (bondo is starting to crack)
-1 year old paint job (but not a quality paint job)
-lowering springs on new OEM shocks

The car looks good and is in good shape. The guy selling it knows a lot about CRXes, drives a 400+hp 300ZX (got to ride in that!), and is a really cool guy. I told him about Beyond. $6900 obo. I want to bring it down to $6000, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to.

Which one do you think is better? And would you tell me to keep looking, or should I go for it?

[max_boost]

Hmmmm.....I definitely would not go for the first one

The second one I would pay around $5k

[LaughingTiger]

1990....175k......only worth about 5k.... keep looking... bad time to buy though..

[Redlyne_mr2]

people who try to get 6500 for a bondoed up crx are on crack and 3000 fora rusted out one...fuck that keep looking, maybe you should expand your horizons jeff, for some reason albertans think that crx's are worth their weight in gold, im not sure what it is....try goign to the auctions..hell for 6000 you could pick up an nx 2000, hell of alot faster and newer....shit 6500

[Hipermax_d]

both crx's are rip offs if you tell me

i think you can look around a little bit more and find one thats in good condition at a reasonable price

take your time looking for cars. if you push yourself and buy it, you may regret yourself when you see a a better condition car for less a few days/weeks later

[Arthur Dent]

way way too expensive. cut those prices in half.

[BigShow]

KEEP LOOKING MY FRIEND, save your money

[GTS Jeff]

I've been looking for half a year! Driven about 20 CRXs!

All these CRXes that are in "better condition and cost less" just don't exist!! (at least not in Alberta)

Yah I don't understand why it has to be a CRX lol

Why not a 2nd gen integra? I think those look better than CRX and its in your $$$ range

[James]

I say screw it and buy the 400 hp 300zx!! .......just keep looking you'll find one....eventually

[Zephyr]

i say stick with the van, cuz vans have bigger back seats, and bigger back seats means better fun lovin with chicks...woo

nah man, it was just on the hood, you'd prolly want to go CF hood anyways, so no biggie there, the point of my post is, there are good deals out there, you just gotta look and be patient.

2nd gen Integra's are not cheaper than a 2nd gen CRX.

Jeff....keep looking, half a year is nothing my friend. It was a lot worse for me!

[szw]

Just get 4500 in cash and go visit the guy. Offer it to him on the spot, maybe he'll take it now, maybe he'll take it in a week, maybe he'll rob you, anyways...I forgot my point...
