Lol pictures? Mileage? Description of car? In general 1st generation CRXs are getting harder to find but at this moment in time it may not be worth rescuing if the car is rotting or beat to death.

It's extremely rare because the vast majority of first generation CRXs have been put in a car crusher, sent to China as scrap metal, and are living their lives as cheap lawn furniture now.

So are you asking for an estimate of its value? $3.50 based on the pictures, condition and vast quantity of information provided.

The truth is, you're sitting on a gold mine.

The elusive 84 CRX is sellin in the high $30,000 range right now. I saw one that was really clean sell at Barrett Jackson last week for $42k.

So there's big money in it of you can find the right buyer.

I felt that Barrett Jackson one was underpriced. What a steal!

Selective reply...nice! Way to ignore every other pertinent question about the car.

You do realize you're asking if people want to buy a car that you obviously know NOTHING about, and haven't provided ANY info other than year and "3 speed auto" - WTF?

His answers are embedded in the "quote" - makes them hard to see, but nonetheless they are there...

IN this case, some pictures would be worth $1000. And I don't think he is going to get the response he is hoping for. Seems like he is hoping that rare=valuable. But the rarity of an auto CRX is a good thing because I can't imagine its any fun to drive. Might be a decent shell though.

All of these that I've seen save for those in the Southwest have a critical rot point where the rear suspension arms attach to the uni-body (the attachment point just behind the front of the rear wheel arch). If that's shot then it's a bear to repair. Usual rocker stuff, wheel arch and floor apply as well of course....

No sunroof, no summer fun ..... that's my main like with the EFs--especially the moon roofs on the Civic Si hatches....

To me, a sunroof just means more weight in the worst part of the car to put more weight in.
