Default A CR-X's worth in the US

I don't think this should be in classifieds, 'cuz I'm not actually looking to buy.

I live in Canada, and pretty much any CR-X you find here has at least some rust on it, and even then they're over priced. I would love to drive down to the states and pick up a CR-X with no rust someday. I live in Manitoba, which is basically above North Dakota and Minnesota, so I wouldn't want to stray too far from there. Anyone know how much a rust free CR-X it worth over there?

No I know that, but it's a lot easier finding a rust free car in the states, and they're generally cheaper anyways. How far south do you think I'd have to go before I can be sure that I'd find most CR-X's without rust?

Also, I'd be looking for an si, if someone knows some prices.

Going out now, so just leave comments.

Bump cause I'm a Minnesotan. Go southern more. Like Arizona, Cali, New Mexicao, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Arkansas (southern), Nebraska, etc. haha to name a few. Check my sig if you want to see what Minnesota does to cars.

im in colorado, and i have to say that most of the cars out here are in pretty descent shape. i have a 91 civic si and the thing is rust free as far as i can tell. ive been under it and there is no rust on the undercarriage and even the fender wells have no rust. i would say you would atleast go as far south as colorado to find something not rusty. arizona and texas are about the best states though, the dry heat preserves things pretty well.

you'll ahve to go farther south then nebraska for some rust free cars. i would say start at oklahoma and work down from there. i've seen alot of kansas cars with rust and stuff still. not necessarily the quarter panels rusty, but under the door trim, and the rocker panels.

what i've noticed, is that the dry heat preserves the bodies well, but mechanically, all the seals are usually more dried out, etc. in the south. good luck.

Also don't a lot of southern cars tend to have cracked dashes and ****? Worn out seats and from all the direct sunlight? Can someone confirm this cause I want to a get a southern car but worried about the interior since I can weld in the rust spots
