Default 90 CRX for $1500- Good Deal?

Here's the catch- salvage title. The owner says the car was hit on the driver's side and although the frame wasn't damaged the damages were more than the insurance company wanted to cover. I'm going to use it as a commuter only for a couple years, with the plan of making it a project car afterwards- so resale isn't really an issue. Here's the pics:







I'm going to check it out personally, but if the frame checks out okay and the engine is strong like he says, should I jump on this? Thanks

Even 1500 for a salvage CRX Si is a good deal, if its in the condition that I believe it is. Just check the frame, if its straight go for it. Good Luck

Looks good..except i notice the hood sits lower on pass side and sticks up on the drivers side a bit more..i think there may be some frame rail or crossmember or maybe just abad core support or even the rubber stoppers causing that..check the gaps on the a pillar/fender..fender to door..if it looks a bit wack then ya might want to stay away from it...but damn it looks nice enuf


Damn, you got a good eye. Thanks for the tips

The hood missalign was prolly cause by the dent on passengers side front of hood.

That is a crzy deal on a very clean car. Pick it up for sure

Same here, except I talked the owner down to 1200. 89 DX with no salvage title and it just needed a little bit of touch up paint.
