Default 86 crx good or not?

I have the option of picking up a crx for like 4 bills.

Should i take it, or not? Its most likely going to be carb.

If i fix it, how much do you guys think i could get??

Well I know the performance acually is worse then any newer one not only cause you cant just put in a performance motor just by changing mounts but the rear doesnt have independant suspnsion and I wouldnt call that better. Dont take it personal I just dont think there will be much IF any money to be made there.

The rear suspension isn't that bad. Remember the 1g si pulled more on the skidpad than the 2g.
