Default hate to do this but...

91 crx si
110k original miles (have all receipts including oil changes)

just replaced both axles
timing belt changed @ 75k
a/c recharged 06/2005
replaced fan blower resistor (positions 1-4 all work now for the fan)
pioneer mp3 deck with 4 kenwood coax's
koni yellows
neuspeed race springs
neuspeed front upper strut bar
st sway kit
brake pads changed 04/2005
-bought the car w/o a front lip- i have just bought a new front lip kit (not installed yet, will throw it in tho)

added "security"


ok all of the above was done since i got the car, which is well over 2500 bucks
i paid 4200 for the car @ 100k miles (high but i haven't seen a crx as clean before, and WHITE ! i had to pick it up)

now that i bought a house, am working 2jobs and have dogs to drive around, it doesn't make sense to have a 2 seater anymore, just not practical ( don't want to pay car insurance on 3 cars, also no garage for my rex ).

so my question is how much do you guys think i should ask for her? i know i won't get anywhere near the money i put in fixing her back up.

3500. even for that price it might take awhile.

this is a perfect car for an existing crx owner. cause only they know the price to pay for a clean crx.

is keeping it an option?

I'm married, have a daughter and a house and realized my ef is impractical and still drive it.

I'd take no less than $3000 for the car.

Honestly, dont sell it.

I have 2 kids and a wife. We have a family car, and I have my rex. I wouldnt have it any other way.

You will regret it one day. Dont sell that beauty, just hold on to her, and make ends meet.

Trust me.

I would also say not to sell it. As soon as you do you are going to miss all the good times. You WILL regret it!

i sold my rex about a month ago. not near as clean as yours, but i would pay twice what i sold it for to get it back. i am also at the point in my life where a crx is just not a reasonable choice, and can't afford to keep it as a 2nd car and pay insurance, etc. keep it if you can, if not, time to move on.

Again I say keep it. Not worth losing, some day you will want to drive it again, and it'll be gone.

If you have to non-op it, then do so. Garage it, store it, tell the wife and kid its gone, but dont sell it. You can always get a family var/car etc, but clean 'rex aren't a dime a dozen.

Be smart, think it through and try to reason with the wife. She has to know that you will always be a man, and will always have a need for a car of your own.

Don't sell the rex, baby Jesus will cry.
