4-5 g maybe?

89 CRX Si Bluebook is around 1900... so 4-5 seems more than fair

I wouldn't spend over $4k for a CRX, unless it was nicely built. I've seen many CRX with swaps and bolt-ons go for $2000-$4000... I've also seen a 12 second CRX go for $5000.

Any rust? How is the body and the interior? Clean title? Any accidents?

Looks like a nice car for a nice price, but I would definitely not call it a fixer upper. I could post pics of mine, then you'd see.

"Fixxer Upper"....Meaning, needs paint. Engine Bay needs a little TLC and some body work.

Yeah I know..WTF happend to the needle ..

I would offer him $1800 if it has a clean title and no rust .since I've seen the pics..
Needs a new bumper and paint on the front and thats it..Looks to be in good condition besides the front bumper..That paint is gonna be hard to match unless the owner knows the code/mix..

Obviously, if the kits cracked there was an accident. So now ask him if the titles clean, also if the frame is bent the car is pretty close to worthless. A bent frame can lead to a vast amount of problems. Also, when I look at a car, one that is moded has obviously been raced. Someone building a car and just 'cruizin' everywhere is a blatant liar or the son of a preacher. Is it me or is that license plate holding that kit together?? Or hiding some of it?? lol - Darrell

I see a headlight that's pushed into the radiator support by a 1/2" or so.

Might want to see what else is lurking under the bumper cover.

2k at the very most. Remember that everything that's been MODDED decreases the value. If it was stock and in good shape I would spend up to 3k.

Infact, I wouldn't buy this car period, unless I was buying it to part it out. I can't stand body kits and I wouldn't want to go through the hassle of converting it back to stock form so that it'd be decent to look at again.
