So I have the option of owning two cars...but if I bought both I wouldn't know which to sell. Keeping both wouldn't be an option, although I wish it could be. So I need some help deciding which one to keep. I'm soo indecisive lol.

Car A: 1989 Civic Si
- 3 owners (all part of the same family)
- Clean inside and out
- 250,XXX+ miles
- Original paint and clean title
- All stock

Car B: 1990 CR-X HF
- JDM front end
- JDM front and rear seats
- JDM SiR tail lights
- All black interior
- 90-93 Integra LS motor
- Magnaflow exhaust
- Clean title
- Unknown mileage on chassis and motor (drives well, pulls strong)

So I'm just looking to hear your opinions, what do you think will sell for more or is more valuable (not $$$ wise)?

 

civic si since its stock. People often seek a clean unmolested car in my opinion. N they might lock this thread too fyi

 

+1 on the Si

They don't make them anymore. You can always do a swap.

 

I would think the 89 Civic Si. More value to the AutoXer. 89 Si rules street touring.

 

I think si's are harder to find in stock form. And they have more options like ac.

 

the jdm front end could sell for more then the hatch, depending on condition

 

si especially in stock form and "clean" at that will always hold more value than a base or fuel economy model car of the same category even with a swap and jdm front end

 

how do you have a clean title crx with unknown mileage? even if the cluster has been swapped, carfax should get you close. i really think it's a toss up, but the HF is more rare to me, even with the swap.

 

Si hatch

 

why don't you just keep the one that makes you most happy and get rid of the other...!!!

 

Hands down the CRX if the body is mint and it has no rust.

 

Well, put it this way. As an autocrosser, I know several people (including myself) who would pay a lot for an 89 Civic Si in stock form. But the 1990 CRX has no special value to someone like me.

Better yet, show me a 1988 CRX Si in stock form and I'll show you 10 people willing to buy it for double or triple blue book value. :D

 

crx hands down as long as bodys are in similar condition.

 

I don't have the car in my possession and I forgot what the guy said. But I know it has a clean title.


They both make me happy! lol

 

ha ha, it's a good debate...

Normally, i'd say a crx all day long, but if you are comparing the most base model crx, to the top model civic hatch, i will say the Si. I myself would rock a civic Si, stock for stock over a crx hf

both great cars though!!!

good reasons i pick the Si hatch over the hf-

- nicer interior
- better suspension
- power sunroof
- larger wheels, low profile tires & wheel covers
- more hp
- better tranny
- bigger brakes
