Really? Is that what he told you?

 

well yea he told me it has power steering.... so that is not true?......

 

No US crx came with power steering... doesn't mean its impossible to add it... just i seriously doubt it.

 

While its no secret Hondas are as reliable as they get, we are talking about a car that's 15+ years old. Even if it was completely babied its entire life, ***** still going to break w/age. Considering that most examples have led a very hard life, you're either going to spend a lot of time/money fixing it up or ignoring all the little things until its a complete bucket.

Without expensive bodywork, rust is a killer...especially in the quarter panels. If the car sees daily driving through the winter/salt, it gets worse quick. A good southern or west coast car typically has the least amount of rust. Mine started life in Cali and made its way to Texas where I picked it up. With the stock paint job, the only rust is a little edge on the sunroof panel and a small ding on a fender. At least it has that going for it.

 

im from wichita and i got my crx for 150$, granted its just a shell, but its a complete shell with full interior and everything, you just have to look around. i know someone else that just gave one away

look around man, the deals are out there

 

littledevilbmx : you must have gotten real lucky. i seldom even see a crx on the road. i guess i'll just go see this crx since its not too far away and offer like 1000-1200 for it.

 

did anyone see the pix? maybe after seein the pix u guys have a better idea of what she is worth

Looks better then mine when I first bought it for $1500.
It didn't have full interior and I still paid that price. The only thing that was + was that the mileage was around 105k.

I would say $1500 - $1850 because the emblem and the small side protector is missing.

 

I bought my rex as is with body kit, zc 1.6 which i would say is a shitty motor, lowered, full exhaust, paint job and a vis hood. I paid 2900 for it! I also got a safc and a set of 15's. the car was in decent shape besides little dents but it looks good check it out![IMG][/IMG]http://www.streettrenz.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=78&pos=127

I have a 90 HF and love it. I have replaced almost everything on it due to wear or as a performance upgrade. It also has a B18 swap. You can drive the **** out of a stock HF but won't get anywhere very fast! It is not a fast car, what it does do is to go a long ways on a small ammount of gas. Economy, not performance. Unless you are going to swap, pass on the HF, look for an Si instead.

i think it a little high. offer him $1200 and see what happens. if there really aren't any around were you live you have two options. pay more for the one you do find or drive a little ways for a deal.
just my .02

 

Keep looking, and be willing to travel a little if necessary. Good deals ARE still out there!

A quick search locally turned up this one for $2500:

http://austin.craigslist.org/car/82210927.html

I've picked up several CRXs around Austin, and the most I paid was $2500 for a *really* clean burgundy '91 DX 5-speed, one-owner, all original (except paint), no wrecks, no rust, good (newer) paint and great A/C. It needed absolutely no work on it, but I did some anyway (Si engine, hybrid transmission, Si seats & steering wheel, Integra 15" alloy wheels, a few other goodies). And that $2500 was looked on by many as too much to pay...

Here's a pic:



Last October, I picked up this '91 Si:



Again, it was a one-owner car, all original (including the paint this time, except for the front right fender), absolutely perfect interior (looks brand new), no rust, etc. It had a blown headgasket, bad axles, and a crunchy transmission. The price I paid was $1200. Just got the new engine, tranny, and axles done a couple weeks ago, and it runs perfectly. All told, I *might* have $1800 into the car right now.

So, if you're patient and willing to travel a bit for the right car, there are definitely better deals out there.

barbados yellow w/ no rust.... cleanest red crx iv ever seen.... lucky!!!!

 

wow u guys make me want to travel out there to get some...

im saving money..... but i love the looks of the crx

 

I'm with Kwicko.

Just to rub it in... $2,500

 

And Kwicko, I am looking for a 91 Yellow Si as well! Hopefully I will have the cash when I find it.

Sorry. I still have the collector bug.

 

How does the HF differ compared to the Si?

the HF has rear drums?
