I like this CRX but its all the way out in California. I live in Chicago. Do you think its worth the money to transport it or fly to Cali and drive it back? My family thinks im nuts but my buddies want to drive it back with me. I dont really care but i could do a swap from a CRX around here.

What would you do?
A) Buy this CRX
B)Buy a local one and swap it yourself(but not have as much work to it)

thanks for your input

 

Well how much is he asking for it. If it's a decent price then fly out and drive her home.

 

he wants 4500$ and i have 6500$ to spend...

 

That seems like a good price, how long have you been looking? A roadtrip could be fun, but it could be an expensive hassle, I think I'd rather pick one up locally, but if you decide to go for it, I'd run a carfax first.

 

$4500 seems like a good price.

 

i'd go far just take one of your buddys so he can drive the car you took there back and you drive the crx...only thing i'd change about it is the wheels.

 

Fly out there, take a look at it, and get it shipped home if you like it.

Shipping should run ~500/600 or so

That doesn't look like the most comfortable car to drive halfway across the country in.

 

I personally wouldn't do it, I looked for a completely stock crx si becuase i wanted to do all the work myself and be able to say yeah thats my car i did all the work and it just kicked your ***....j/king but yeah thats how i see it...but nice car other wise good luck

 

Yeah, the drive would be brutal. I dont know of any shipping companies though. Roundtrip tickets to Cali is about 200$ and i shippin would be bout 600$(i guess)...anybody know of any shipping companies??

wooo...thanks alot

 

DAS shipped my car from Cali to Columbus.....cost 500 bucks, open container though.

Ship it 5 grand for that ride seems reasonable

 

There you go...first reference for DAS

Closed container costs some cash!

 

DAS = 660$ , and plane tickets are 200$
cost of trip = 860$ not including food / hotel
having a nice crx = priceless

 

Are you planning on having this car as a dialy driver? If so, I wouldnt bother, it looks like it would be a pain in the *** to get in and out of. Dates may not like that either.

 

he already said that the roll cage by the seats are getting moved lower cuz its a pain in the *** to get in and out of. And my car isnt a daily diver just a fun car, i walk about everywhere. Im in college and everything is walking distance , or my guy drives. So this is a fun car ...

Why bother with the cost of a hotel?

Just have your flight back a few hours later than when you arrive. It shouldn't take you that long to check out the car.

That is unless you want to stay the night and/or goof off for a while on the west coast.

 

That crx looks pretty nice. I would go check it out for sure!

 

$4500 makes me wish i got that and shipped it over than having the bucket ive already put more into

 

<FONT SIZE="40">BUY IT!</FONT> I would

 

that crx looks pretty good....nice build up..... make sure it hasn't been abused tho

 

Well i deffinately wouldnt want to fly all the way out there and ship it back thats stupid to fly back and spend the money for the extra ticket home and then spend like another 500-1200 for shipping when you could drive it back, if you buy it.Not to mention the long *** wait just to get your car.Trust me when my friend bought his turbo integra gsr from cali. it took almost a month after he bought it before dasautoshippers finally got it here.

 

I would defeintely buy it, but instead of shipping it back or driving it which would put mad miles on the car

I would rent a uhaul cube van, there 40 bucks a day and have ample room for a car, just ebrake it and leave it in gear and itll be perfect.

I dont know how long of a drive it is from both point, but it would be a comforatable ride and you wont get hassled by the cops

Then u just drop off the Uhaul at your local Uhaul rental place (totally legal to drop it at another location) and you saved a **** load of money/hassle and you know it was done right

well, if he's never been to Cali before, it might be nice to check it out...
