Let the games begin gents. First come first serve. I hope someone on RS picks it up

Not a good buy. Way overpriced.
Keep the wheels. Worth $2500 tops if the timing belt and water pump was done on time.

Market value for well maintained CRXs can range from $4-$6k.

KMs are high on his, but it looks like it has been well kept
Most CRXs have been driven to the ground

More than fair asking price. T belt water pump sticker I have yet to check.

Not run of the mill POS crx found on craigslist, so all I gotta say is good luck finding the same car in this shape and doing all the same things to it for under 4k.

You get what you pay.

With the mileage that it has I feel it is overpriced as well

tofu1413 01-04-2015 10:05 AM

350k km original cluster.

Lots of cluster swapped EF's out there, so the mileage is average for a 24 year old car.

westopher 01-04-2015 10:18 AM

After seeing tofus last e36, I'd pay a 10-15% premium for a car he has owned and tinkered with.

SumAznGuy 01-04-2015 10:35 AM

No offense to those that say Tofu's car is over priced, but the car is 24 years old. 345K kms = 14,300 km per year which is considered low since the average is between 20-24K per year.
If the rust problem is minor, and bushings are in good condition, then this car should last a pretty long time.
In the pics I have seen, the interior looks really good. It is quite common to see the seats ripped and the thigh bolsters worn out if the driver has a larger than average butt.

The car has newish suspension and rear control arms, so shocks is something you will not have to change.
Exhaust is newish so no worries about a rusted exhaust system.

And to be honest, there is some collectability for this car as many have rusted out. Try looking in California for a CRX. Last time when I checked, they were still going for a hefty price.

To be honest, I would consider buying Tofu's car as I feel the price is more than fair especially with the LSD tranny and new tires. Too bad I am looking for a K swapped car. Hmmm. K20/24 swapped CRX.... no no. I shouldn't. Or should I?

tofu1413 01-04-2015 10:35 AM

apparently someone on the board here owns it right now..... and the car looks exactly the same as when I sold it....


sumaznguy// K series CRX............... Why not!

fliptuner 01-04-2015 10:35 AM

Considering someone posted that rusty black CRX for $1k and considered it a good deal, I'd say the pricing is bang on for this. As far as I'm concerned, all the mods are tastefully done, the car was clean to begin with, has maintenance records and if someone was going to mod theirs in the same manner, they're saving on parts cost and a shitload of time for, basically, new parts.


Anyways, I think it would be more appropriate to continue discussion about tofu's car in his build thread or via PM.

In my experience average is more like 10k/year. Either way, 345k is high but it's a Honda, if the motor pops you can find a new one and have it in within a couple hours.

I wouldn't call it overpriced, but I wouldn't call it a bargain either.

punkwax 01-04-2015 11:47 AM

^ your experience doesn't make it the average.

~20k has been the long standing average for decades.

tofu1413 01-04-2015 11:49 AM

Vancouver average mileage is about 20-24k km annual.

BTW, divert the whole discussion to the build thread pls!

Haven't seen a clean title S2000 this cheap before. I wonder if something is wrong. Too bad I don't quite have the money yet, or I'll take this a serious look. Can't be too bad of a car.

Honda s2000
