as for that E36... @westopher yup.. I saw that carbon gauge surround and knew it definitely was a late 90's / early 00's mom-gave-me-her-E36-as-my-first-car kinda build  at least it's pretty tasteful, and you can tell it was cared for haha.

Nice fun commuter ... just the super rare factor that these are hardly ever for sale. Next time may be when the next total solar eclipse happens. I know the mileage is high but use as negotiating to lower price? This ISN'T the CL good buy anyways ...
2008 CSX type S - 303K kms, $8500. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...378231423.html  |

^ THAT PRICE IS INSANE for that car! Negotiation is one thing, but does he want to be offered half of his ask? I'd be surprised if it sold for even $4500
High mileage 200k+ Si equivalents have been posted on this thread as low as $3800

Yah, not disagreeing with you but I just checked and there are hardly any Civic Si's in that late 2000's gen nor are there any RSX type S that's really decent. I was shocked at the lack of postings ... Covid tax and Covid used car rage is real! Find me something that is in that gen.

Yet a 2007 bmw 328i with 120k KM is just $7300.
That being said I probably would bet a 3 series BMW with 120k KM would be the better pick than an Acura CSX Type-S with 300k+ KMs for the same price

I could prob find 10 cars better for that price range that I'd buy instead but the unicorn tax on that, I think, is really high. Even a CSX type S fan might not touch with a ten foot pole at that high mileage. Civic SI sedans are rare too. This feels a little like the interest in a Civic SiR hatch maybe 5-10 years ago. Great 1st vehicle to learn stick. This one is a 4 dr practical. I'd offer $5K

I jsut couldn’t do it, unicorn or not… Honda engine or not… that thing is done at that mileage… rebuild/refresh at a minimum coming soon to a garage near you. Why bother? Overpay for a 100k example with patience.

Unless if you REALLY want a CSX-S right now, it's a hard pass ..

I have over 300K kms on my E36 M3. Aside from gaskets and the ignition coil, it's running strong. Most likely attributed to all the maintenance over the years that's gotten it to live that long.
I'm a BMW fan, but an early model E90, let alone a 328i isn't worth shit. The CSX-S is really priced on rarity, like everything else lately.

^ impressive find. Just posted 12 hrs. Hands down, this is >>>>> than the 300K kms one. In fact, this one is actually interesting if you were in the market for one.

Probably.
under carriage might have some surface rust too.
and a car with 250k km+ - sway bar end links, ball joints etc will bound to need attention. engine mounts too..... wheel bearings?
probably ac doesnt work either. it does add up......
(bought enough beaters to know)
And thats where buying a 300k + BMW Beater isnt a bad thing..... because half of the crap on the car will be replaced by then to keep it going.

Does anyone have suggestions on what fun car to get after RSX Type S? I had the CSX Type S prior. Budget is sub $10 - 12K.
This car would only be used from Oct to March/April until the summer car gets insured again.
I didn't find the RSX / CSX fun because you can't really vtec in the rain plus handling is okay. Not need extra back seats either.

Lately been eyeing the volvo and saabs.
they are great for defensive driving and built like tanks. shittiest driving months of the year, bound to get into a fender bender... so might as well drive a tank to keep your self injury free in event of a collision.

It's not everyday you see a WRB Forester for sale.
One hell of a unicorn, minus the automatic transmission

I don't care if it's auto. It has under 200k and not a bad price with apparent full service history. I'd buy it if I had space (or passion for cars anymore)...
Unless it's fake, then I give up
