Default Should I buy this CRX?

One of my co-worker's is willing to sell his '86 CRX for $35.00 and a case of beer. Should I buy it?

I was thinking I could really get it to look pimped out eventually cuz the body is in decent shape although the exhaust is hanging and it leaks some oils.

WHat does anyone thinK??????

Yes at least you can have fun this car. 1G's are great.

There is a Crx form by the way.

If it runs, buy it, and take it offroading. If hes selling it for 35 dollar I'm guessing it has some sort of serious damage.

You should have put this in the crx/ef civic forum they would probably be able to tell you what to look for a little easier then this forum can.

depends on the condition and what you want out of it. I don't know what you mean by "pimped out" but you can make a 1st gen CRX look pretty good

My first and second cars were both 1g CRX's (85 Si and 87 HF)
I say go for it... I mean, if it runs... for $35 what can you lose?



Holy crap, that one piece hood/front end setup is rad...

Yeah Marcus (aka Mr Heeltoe) had the hoods made mainly for his car, and a few others as well. I think there were only about 10 made or something. Nice quality too!
