Default Good Deal??

Ok i've been looking for like 4 months and i just found this one...

"89 crx si. red. 5-speed. sunroof. dropped on performance springs, Tokico struts, gargoyle alarm system. 160xxx mi. but still pulls hard and running strong. will do a free oil change if buyer wants. everything works but needs new master cylinder and new axle bearings. car runs"

$1,000

i talked to the guy and he said it has a salvage title cause it was hit in the front... it has a small dent on the passanger side door... he said he's gonna send me some pics and the vin # tomarrow... what do you guys think?

oh and he's selling it cause he's getting his brothers del sol...

Sounds good if you plan to keep it. As long as there isn't any frame damage.

i looked at it... first off, it didnt even start! not even with a jump!! then i popped open the hood and the fender wells were torn up(pretty badly, obvious it was in a major accident).. the motor was leaking and damn, it was not a good car at all.

but the outside was one of the cleanest looking crx's i've seen! brand new paint job, lowered 3 inches... the inside was clean too...it was a pretty nice looking rex.. too much work for me tho.


if anyone has a running CRX Si in decent condition in SoCal... hit me up!
