IMO its not
look at the signs.. no visible front lip, no sunroof, so Si wheels (specially since it sbeing kept "mint" and low miles , wheels its something they dont change... etc.
looks to me like a DX or HF

no, no VIN. Personally I think the guy is full of it and its an HF. I'd hate to drive an hour and a half to find an over priced HF. I so love white CR-X's though....

you should really just ask for the VIN, or at least some more pics to prove its an Si...

That means it has been repainted. No USDM CRX came with color matched door handles, you couldn't even get that option until the 5g civics came out. The Canadians got a a CRX "SE" modle that was an Si with a clean factory rear spoiler, color matched mirrors and handles, maybe some of the moldings as well.

Anyways, it's not a Si. No Si rims, no sunroof, if you look close enough you can see that it appears to not have the Si seats either. I'm not sure they even made Si's in white in '88. Hell I haven't seen many white CRX Si's at all. I've seen lots of white 4g Si hatches though.

Overpriced? 1800 for an 88 with 93k miles? Seems underpriced to me.

actually, I think thats backward. Moonroofs retract in. My 90si has a moonroof. My friends 92 mustang however, has a sunroof. It just pops up a little.

well the main difference between and moonroof and a sunroof is that a sunroof is made of metal and slides out like my 92 prelude while a moonroof is made of glass and slides in and has a cover to block out the light on the interior

OMG!!! it doesn't have Si wheels!! it must NOT be an Si!!! oh wait a minute, you can fit 13 inch steel wheels on an Si.. that's right, you can.. so what have we learned today? don't judge a car by its wheels. for all we know those could be his winter wheels and he has the 14 inchers stashed away.. geese....
