I wanna get a CRX...what do you think?

I'm interested in getting a CRX. I was lookin around and found this one.

1989 HONDA CRX - Si, low mi on rebuilt VTEC eng w/Type R internals, high rev valves, springs, ported & polished head, 12.70 quarter mile, 13x8 lightweight racing slicks incl, street driven, asking $3600, must see

What do you guys think?

Does the price seem fair?

I'm pretty sure it wont have A/C. If it dosent what would it cost to get it put back in, or would it even be worth it?

I dont really care about the 1/4 times/0-60 times right now just trying to get one first.

I'm a total car noob so try not to rip me up too bad

*edit*

here's the pic

Well, not all modded cars are bad news. But before you look into this one, you should find out exactly what he has done to the engine. "VTEC engine with type R internals and high rev valves and springs" is not only pretty vague, but sounds like a real Frankenstein job. Ask him what engine is in it, what mods he has done to it, how long since he has done it, etc. And of course before you buy it, have it checked out by a mechanic you trust. Make sure everything is put together right. If he's selling it because he stripped the block in his back yard and rebuilt it himself, did a crappy job and now it's waiting to die, then you don't want to get stuck with it.

The long and short of it is, buying a modded car isn't always a bad move. But you do have to be more careful than when you buy an unmodded car. There is a lot more that could be wrong with it.

Just cause you don't have a trusted mechanic. Doesn't mean you can't find one. I personally would rather build one. I think it's more fun. But if it's what your looking for, and it's done right, then more power to you.
