I doubt the ZC engine has less than 100 miles on it. Maybee less than 100 miles since the swap. I'd be skeptical of a freshly swapped car for sale at such a bargian. With most Hondas, you get what you pay for in terms of quality. Keep that in mind, and don't jump on the first thing you see.

Thats alot of money for a 91 teg. But ZC motors are pretty old and like what was said earlier its probably 100 miles since the swap but does he know how many miles were on the motor when he bought it?

some nice ownage here, lol. i'd say 1600 isn't bad for a swapped crx, then again, w/o pics, its hard to tell body shape. oh, and btw, i paid 5k for a bone stock 90 ls sedan, mint conditon with 56,000 miles, owned by an old lady. still had the original mint hubcaps. ran like a champ, till i ****ed it up. but anyway....

You're a douche.

To the OP, If the body and paint are in good condition, I would say go for it.
