Right, but I was thinking 3. CRX's have always had demand. Great ones can go from 4-5k up. Good, like this one when I'm done with it should get $3000. This is actually my main question. Sorry for not posting that in the original post.

Well what I didnt tell you was the first line of what the seller wrote. He wrote the blue book value was $1200. So he figures, $1000 for a fairly quick sell with the miles and all.

I don't think it's too cheap.

I sold my 90 Si with 180K for $1600 2 years ago

Loks like a nice clean CRX. I'd say the cost largely depends on the severity of the rust.
Just an offhand (doesn't mean ****) opinion is you wouldn't have any problems unloading it for $1500+ around here.
If you could pick it up for $750-$900 at the very least you could part it out and make a couple hundo.
I say jump on it.
