Default Should I buy this?

I just found a 1990 black crx si for sale for 1950, With 238000 miles on it. Do you guys think that is a fair price? Should i be able to get it for less? And what should I look for when I go to look at it? Any help would be appreciated.

Alwayz offer lower for the hell of it, go get an inspection (compression test, brakes, etc) that kinda thing, if there are things majorly wrong this is a good way to bring him/her down. And try to get as minimal rust as possible (Quarter Panels, Frame) Just take your time and look

I paid 800 for a almost mint 90 Si with 228000 and I payed 1300 for a mint 91 Si with 200000.
I think you could go way lower.

oh i sure hope that's not the original motor lol If it is...look to get a new one!! Well, that's what i would do anyway.
Anyways there is alot of miles on that motor if it is the original, so <U>i</U>would basically make sure that the body is in good condition, and all the other things except for the motor.
1950 isn't bad, but try to work it down so u can use extra money for a new motor or something

Yeah, I think I could get it for less too. I'm going to put a b16 in it, so the mileage isn't a problem. What did all you guys pay for crxs?

I paid ~500 for an '88 CRX Shell in great shape. Interior was a bit rough. Everyone on here will prolly laugh at that price, but it was worth it.

Edit : also, 0 rust on the car.
