Wrong place to post this!!!!!!!

That car is worth no where near what you think, it has been molested

The paint job was just sprayed over everything. None of the moldings where masked of, nor the front bumper grill.

The front end is missing parts, plus the hood doesn't line up

With the quick spray job, there could easily be bondo covering rust underneath it temporarly...plus, the door moldings are gone, what's up with that?

Wow... ^ I don't think he asked for any of that, I think he was just asking for a thought on how much he should sell his car for. You're way too critical and angry.

In my opinion I would just sell on CL...and use some comps there. GLWS.

^^ ha ha, angry, nope

Just saying, for the kind of money he's thinking..it's way off because of those reasons. Critical, once again, i think not...hell, i bought a 2000 EM1 for only $4500....and he's looking for the same money out of that car

The last crx i bought for $500 would give that car a run for the money

Default $Value Sticky$ What's It Worth? Should I Buy? What's the Cost? (COMMENTS ENCOURAGED)

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$

You have come to the thread dedicated to questions about value and purchases rather than technical issues, which is the main focus of the CRX/EF Civic (1988-1991) forum.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$

Many threads ask for opinions on the value of a car that a member is considering selling or buying. These types of threads don't fit well in a technical forum, but they seem to generate a lot of interest among our membership. So rather than close these non-technical threads, I thought we could consolidate them here.

From this point forward, please post your inquiries about the value or cost of a car, car part, or car repair/modification job in this thread. You can also post here questions about whether or not you should buy/trade a car or car part.

Please quote the inquiry in your response. Otherwise, this thread will become too disorganized and confusing.

***Note also that buying or selling is forbidden in this thread.

Default Worth the Money?

Hey guys, I'm getting a new a car and wanted to know if this sounds like it is worth the money. Sorry for the stupid question. The guy told me he would go as low as 3500$ on it.

VTEC cracks at 6500... doesn't sound like it's been dyno tuned to me. Add some tech questions to your thread before it gets locked.

Default Re: Worth the Money?

I agree with crvtectim, 6500 sounds pretty high for VTEC to engage on what seems to be a pretty stock motor. Ask him for a dyno sheet before purchasing. Also, make sure to be careful if you do purchase it, since they switched out the head to a b16, there is no way to tell if the block is actually a ITR block, or if it is a GSR block. They are both stamped with B18C. Not saying it is NOT the real deal, just saying.

i got my car a while ago and i feel like i got a really good deal. but i figure i will put it up on here and see what everyone else thinks.

1990 crx si

good

NO RUST at all. no bondo at all
d16zc sohc vtec
all obd1 p28
walbro 255 pump
tien super street coilovers 1.5 inch drop i believe
15 rims (not sure on name look decent) tires alright shape probably another year out of them
sunroof works and does not leak
full rear interior
Cf hood (gel coat is oxidizing but doesnt look all to bad)
cold air intake
Full dc sport exhaust (came as just headers and cat mounted. i paid about 150 to get a 2.5 inch exhaust cat back bent and welded)
short throw shifter
full traction bars and strutbars.
wire for subs
SI cable trans shifts smooth
55 to 75k on motor (DOCUMENTED)
no dents on the unibody

BAD

car looks like crap right now
fenders and doors are dented. Needed to replace driverside door for inspection
Camber is a little off and the tires are wearing unevenly
the ignition switch went bad so is wired on toggle switches
along with the toggle switches most of the dash harness is custom or remade, havent messed with it so not sure.
Normall wear on seats and back cargo cover and the climate control
Roof leaks under moldings on driver side so it drips from the lifter spring thing on the hatch,
no radio or speakers
was not inspected
needed back break pads
may need front ball joints soon
Other things not really good or bad

No ac or ps
custom lip (looks like the plastic for in a garden maybe? its flat for like 3 inches then has a round hollow tube on the bottom thats like .5 inch) looks good besides screws placed un even. covers up flaws in the bumper so im fine with it. honestly i would make another if i got a new bumper,
Angle eye headlights


Other parts that i got from the same kid about a week after ( pretty much including in the price)

d15b2 mpfi conversion on it
extra si trans
d15b2 trans
blown d16a6 with good head and alt
box of sensors and random interior parts
pm6 ecu
A6 dizzy
a few bad radiators but i just scrapped them for lke 40 or 50$

I paid 2300 for it and parts. i feel like i came out on top.

Honestly, I wouldn't unless its a legit bussiness or a well known group. But do your research, see if you can find any info about them before you commit to a purchase. I've bought plenty of parts from overseas but its also been through ebay and paypal, so the chances of me getting screwed were pretty slim.

Default car getting scrapped what to take 91 lx sedan

ok my mom has an old 1991 civic lx sedan. its rockers are gone and i dont feel like fixing it and my mom doesnt want to pay to fix it and got a new car. so this one is geting junked in the next few weeks.

what things should i take out of it that wont sit around for very long. the engine is already coming out. same with tires and front seats and front bumper and headlights and corners

just curious if there is anything else that should be taken out. like how the climate control in a crx is so much. or crx door panels are worth alot.

interior is blue and car is white.

sorry mods i dont really know where to put this. its kinda like value because i want to know what is worth taking out of it. but yet i think it goes in tech also because im guessing there is alot of people also looking for what to grab from these. if you want to move or whatnot please do. just figured with me being on a time frame for it i would get more responses here

Default Re: car getting scrapped what to take 91 lx sedan

if it was me i would grab all the ac stuff. the lines, hoses, condenser, compressor, mounting brackets and all. i personally like having working ac and the parts will fit all 88-91 civic/crx and its getting harder to find all that stuff.
I would probably also try and get some of the suspension parts that can get bent up like lower control arms. but i am a pack rat when it comes to stuff like that...

thats why i wanted to get what would sell quicker. and good call on ac. i still have full ac in the car

what about doors with power locks and windows? do enough people do the conversions in there car to keep these? slight rust in the bottoms of them. no holes or anything

Hi guys. Possibly buying my first Honda for a winter vehicle. Guy wants $500 for an 88 Sedan, 5-speed DX. 197k on the odometer. New clutch. Burns a small amount of oil as with higher mileage. No CEL. Just needs the door windows replaced due to someone attempting to steal the (garbage) radio. The quarter rust isn't awful for my state (Ohio). There is a small rust hole in the bottom of the trunk. Opinions?
