I picked up a 90 CRX Si last night from a retired gentleman who used it as a tow-car behind his motor home. It only has 87,000 original miles! The interior and engine compartment is in mint condition, like it just rolled off the lot. The body has a small ding on the hood and theres a few tiny dents on the side but thats about it, other than that the paint looks new. Everything works on it.. Everything. Big upgrade from my old 85 CRX Si.

This pic is from his ad... I'll try and get some better pics after work. (Edit: see below for more pics)

he used it to tow his motor home?
are you serious???
but nice upgrade

 

No haha.. he towed it behind his motor home in an enclosed trailer.

Nice SI. It's getting harder and harder to find a stock CRX in good condition. I too just picked up one this weekend (but a 91 SI).

And welcome to Honda-Tech

 

Oh and do yourself a favor, before you put any money into it. Get yourself some security stuff (alarm, kill switch, lo jack, etc.....)

 

Thanks Red, nice rex. I'm not sure what if anything I'm going to do to this car. I'm thinking about just leaving it stock, perhaps just fix the dents someday or get a oem-style fiber hood or something, since the hood has a minor dent. I have a Honda RC51 motorcycle and and a fairly heavily modified Jeep, so I just want this to be a general reliable around-town car. And I still have the 85 CRX... that makes 4 vehicles at the moment haha. I don't like alarms but a kill switch and perhaps some kind of physical security is a good idea.

 

Cool trade it for mine which is for sale in my For Sale link in my sig *IBTL*

 

Here are some better pics.

 

its a nice car man congrats!! i notice that CRX's are rare now this days, kinda like a classic car, i dont see them not even on the junkyards anymore

 

nice find!

 

Thanks guys! Yeah I've been looking for a new one for months and everything I see either has 200,000 miles on it and needs lots of work, or is cheaply riced all to hell. I found this one almost by accident!

 

Mint . How did you find it? Where did you look?

 

Please please please keep it 100% stock. A 100% original stock CRX Si is a rarity, too many BXYZ K24 MNOP Type R STi swapped cars.

 

Nice find Rifter!

Not that it matters but keeping it stock is the way to go if you ask me. Like you said all the Rexes that you found were either high mileage and shot bodies or riced out.

To find one like you found, that is a rarity.

 

WOW!!!!

I Officially Hate You and Red_ED8

hahah jk... congrats on the find!

I must say Rifter, you got one hell of a nice rex. And with under 100,000 on it . I just broke the 200,000 mile mark on mine.

Thanks alot man, and if you think you hate me now I guess I should tell you that it came with stock (not faded or ripped) floor mats too . OK I'm done, not trying to thread jack .

 

Because I'm a noob apparently I can't post more than 5 messages a day.

To answer some of the questions... I found it on Craigslist. I knew it was a rare deal so I took off work early and me & my GF drove 2 1/2 hours plus a 1 hour ferry ride (one-way) to go pick it up.

Yes, the plan is to keep it stock. If I cant sell my 85 Si I'll fix it and use that as my commuter and use the 90 for the weekends.

Most people at my work can't immediately tell the difference between the two.. they keep asking "where's your new car? I thought you bought a new one?" lol.

Holy Crap Man..... that is crazy, I found mine on Craigslist last tuesday and took off work on thursday, drove 4 hours to pick it up and now I'm selling parts from my 89 &90 CRX to pay for it lol. I guess we are in the same boat .

 

I wouldn't be able to keep it stock, although I would keep all of the original parts to be able to put it back to stock.

 

Just curious, what did you pay?
