Heres the story:

I was taking my brother to the shop to fix his fender, and there it was sitting in front of the shop, a 1988 CRX. I called the guy, and he said make him an offer. I checked blue book and its around $1600+. So thats what I offer him at first. It was actually a really quick transaction I said $1600 and he said $1700 so I said okay. Done deal. I cant pick it up till tomorrow morning because my banks close. I know some might say I over payed but keep in mind I do live in Alaska and it seems cars are just more expensive here. But im happy with it. Exterior it flawless no dents and 2 year old paint. There is a little chip in the tail light but its cool.

<U>More Pictures on Page 2</U>

*1988 Honda CRX SI
*137,000 Miles
*Clean Title

<U>Current plans for 2005:</U>

Ground Controls
KYB AGX
Omni Camber Kit
14 or 15 Silver Mugen MR5 (havent decided)
Yokohama AVS (size depending on wheel)
NGK Spark Plug (V-power)
NGK Spark Plug Wires
Im taking my car to best buy right after this to get a new head-unit (Alpine CDA-9847)


Nothing too big until after winter (05), Summer 06 im looking into getting a b16 and working on my suspension and brakes. Thats pretty much it. Any suggestions (wheels size? suspension, engine, brake) you guys might have let me know. Thanks

The car is super dirty, when I pick it up ill clean it up and post more pics







Old school ice



Thanks for looking. Leave some comments let me know what you guys think good/bad. Also im just curious how much everyone else bought there CRX for, post price and milage on the car. Thanks in advance.

well you have your CRX HF with a D15 MPFI engine, the lightest model of the three
then you have your CRX dx with a D15 DPFI engine..other than the engines/trannys and wheels theres not much difference..oh wait you have a bit better suspension with a rear antisway and disc brakes too..the others dont have either. for weight purposes.

lol..and you have a moonroof..others dont..theres a few little things..hahaa

Welcome to the party, bought my White 91 Si 3 years ago for 5 grand, bone stock with 63,000 miles on her. A friend of mine got one in Alaska with 45,000 thousand miles for 3 grand, it's a DX but damn. Nice find though, take care of her.

That car looks pretty damn clean. I really like it too. I wish I could've found a black crx instead of my red one.

That looks like a really good deal to me - especially considering the condition and lower mileage! I bought mine 3 yrs ago - 169k on the clock, rusty sunroof, heater/ac doesn't work, bald tires...$2300...I got ripped!

Clean it up and post up some more pics!

If the car is as straight as it looks in the photos, I think the price was fair!
