I know these prices are high - EF, CRX beater

[pdiggitydogg]

Im looking at buying an EF or crx for my winter car, and I found 3 locals:
CRX (http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=187890738&dealer_id=56786224&car_year=1988&search_type=both&make=HONDA&sponsorModel=&model=&distance=50&address=48360&advanced=&certified=&bkms=1126381144390&max_price=&min_price=&end_year=1991&start_year=1981&isp=)
The rex is privately owned and has quite a lot of cancer. I think I might learn how to do bondo on it...

Civic White (http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=188078316&dealer_id=1394607&car_year=1991&search_type=both&make=HONDA&distance=50&model=&sponsorModel=&address=48360&certified=&advanced=&max_price=&bkms=1126381144390&min_price=&end_year=1991&start_year=1981&isp=y)
Civic Grey (http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=187938653&dealer_id=49489538&car_year=1991&search_type=both&make=HONDA&sponsorModel=&model=&distance=50&address=48360&advanced=&certified=&bkms=1126381144390&max_price=&min_price=&end_year=1991&start_year=1981&isp=)
Both cars are in personal dealer lots (you know, like "Bob's Auto").
They run fine, no real mech probs that I could see/hear when I drove them...but theyre michigan cars, have typical honda cancer (not awful), and I believe they were city driven on a daily basis.
(The white civic's mileage is 15x,xxx)
(The grey civic, I am offering even less $ and having them keep the wheels/tires.)

What should I seriously offer them as a counter price? Any help would be appreciated :thumbsup:

I like the grey one.

I had a crx for a winter beater when I had my truck. I got the thing for $500. Then in spring some dealer had a trade in sale "any car is worth at least 3k". Thats how I wound up with my first civic.

[pdiggitydogg]

Im actually partial toward the crx, just because it needs love :D
Plus, I think they look cooler.
Either way, the y8 will end up in it :yes:

[sicones]

I love crx's, get the crx :yes:

[AzCivic]

i like the crx too

[AkimboStylee]

gradb the grey hatch, its in nicer condition the either of the other cars

[pdiggitydogg]

any help on pricing though

[GT40FIED]

I like the grey Civic, too. Not much wiggle room at $2000, but maybe you could try $1500 and go from there.

[Fatal070]

Get the grey civic.. I don't care for crx's....

[Racing Rice]

I had a CRX, it was a great little car. I would love to have another one.

[Fatal070]

I had one... for a few weeks... I just thought the interrior looked like poop...

[AkimboStylee]

tell him that you will pay less to get the car with out the rims

[pdiggitydogg]

yep, doing that

[KwikR6]

I say the CRX....it looks like a little beater that needs love...learn some good body work on it...why not!! Paint it nice again...turn it over make some cash if you want. I love CRX's though...i say go with that...super fun little cars.

[pdiggitydogg]

Yeah, but its an hf...whats that hp range? In the 60s? Its a gas sipper for sure.
Im having some real doubts about the rex. I mean, look at the rust on the door frames:

That looks scary...and definately beyond bondo. I dont even know how to weld.
If I decided on the crx, I wouldnt offer more than $800
However.......I am strangely attracted to this poor crx :)


I also found an si crx that looks perfect: CRX 2 (http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=186218410&dealer_id=56632304&car_year=1991&search_type=both&make=HONDA&sponsorModel=&model=CRX&distance=25&address=48360&advanced=&certified=&bkms=1126453492654&max_price=&min_price=&end_year=1991&start_year=1981&i) and the price shows it. KBB value is less than 1/2 that though, and I might be able to talk them down.

[AzCivic]

are there holes in that crx? if so never mind.

but that second crx looks real nice, try to talk him down and get that one. it'll probably sell quick.

[pdiggitydogg]

oh yeah, those are holes...passenger side is close to 7"+

[KwikR6]

Holes in the CRX...fuck it...not worth it....the second one..the Si...looks great....i would go for that one..yes...it'll sell probabaly quickly

[pdiggitydogg]

Yeah, in fact, it was sold 2 weeks ago. damn

[KwikR6]

ahhh that blows.....
it looked to be pretty nice...

[IALuder]

i like the crx HF. becuase it gets 30mpg.

[pdiggitydogg]

It should get even more than that.
I found an ef on ebay that the seller is willing to meet me 1/2 way if I buy it (60miles for each). He's looking for 900 and for that price I might do it. All it needs are oem springs...

[VR4_Craver]

What you should do is suck it up and buy that grey one...and then find some douche to buy the rims for 700-1000 bucks and put yours on there...good looking car for 1000$...cant beat that
