Default Woot picked up a 89 Crx Si for 300 bucks and it runs...

Woohoo this past Friday I saw an ad for a 89 Crx Si for sale for 300 bucks. The guy was moving to NYC and had to get rid of the car asap. The car runs great, it'll need a clutch soon and new shocks but other then that, the car runs great, no problems what so ever. Engine is nice a smooth and it only has 138k miles on it. \

Everything works on the car, the first thing I checked out was the sunroof, I love sunroofs on crx's, came with a great cd deck to which is probably worth half for what I bought the car for. The only thing that it's missing is the center divider and the cargo cover. Car is black like my first Crx si that I had. I can't believe I got this good of a deal. I'm sure if I wanted to turn around in sell it, I probably could. With the problems listed how much do you think I could get this thing for? There are some small rust spots on the sunroof and a small dent on the left wheel well on the exterior, it's not to big. Iwas thinking around 2500 for it? It's clean title as well. I don't plan on selling this one though, I have a truck that gets me only 22 mpg and I'll be using this thing for doing my heavy commuting and city parking. I'll try and get pics of it in a couple of days, I don't have a digi cam. So tell me what you think... Cliff notes as fallows:

Bought 89 Crx Si for 300 bucks
Straight Body
Complete Exterior
Working Sunroof
Great Engine
138k Miles Clean title
One Small Dent rear quarter wheel well
No cargo cover
Has aftermarket cd deck
Will need a clutch and new shocks soon.

Otherwise this car was a great find, tell me what you think it's worth by the way it sounds. I'm going to give it a good maintence in a couple of weeks, oil change, new spark plugs, possible timing belt change. This guy only wanted 350 originally for the car, I brought him down to 300. This is my fourth crx si.

Damn dude maybe your not looking in the wrong places. I'll try and get some pics this week, I'll have to use my friends digi cam. I don't have one. So tell me from what you've seen listed, how much do you think it's worth? 4crx4me check out craigslist.org it's pretty much nationwide. Great deals all the time, that's where I found mine. I'm sure I can part this car out more for then what I bought it for but I'd rather just keep it.

I shouldn't complain so much. I mean I have 3 CRX's AND a g2 GS-R, right now. And all were relativly cheap.
I just want a low, low mile 90-91 CRX Si, in mint shape!! In Black or Tahitian Green.
That's not asking too much is it?

Damn you got that right, we do have some hot *** women. There are a lot of great deals on cars over here, if I had more money I'd probably be doing a lot of buying and selling. I'm still shocked on how well this crx was kept. The engine bay is super clean, there is some rust on the sunroof but nothing too bad, it'll be taken care of this summer. I can easily make 2gs off this car if I wanted to as it sits right now. This car has some great potential as do most crx's do. Just gotta keep your eyes open for the right deals.

i just got a 88 crx si for 100.00 it has rust in the quarters and needs a clutch. But it runs good. I'm going to fix the quarters soon though since i got to nice quarters for 50.00

Damn 100 bucks. That's hella good. What's wilth all the cheap *** crx si's lately? I don't get it? These are good cars, I know mine is great it just needs a paint job and we're set. We can make some good money off these cars, but they're great what else can I say?
