Since no local wreckers are going to carry CRX's now, parts are hard to come by locally for people who need CRX parts.
Def doesn't look like a car that someone should restore for collector plates.
I should go over to the FB CRX chat and see what they are saying about this car.

I'd rather bring a rust free CRX up from California. Lots under $3g. Lightweight hf for $400 would be perfect for swap. https://stockton.craigslist.org/cto/...487061124.html | |

One of those cars you buy where other car people are simultaneously jealous of you and glad that you saw it before they did.

That’s a fantastic price for a shark nose. I wouldn’t even think about it, just grab it. The m30b35 is a super reliable motor, albeit a bit “tractorish”. Other than 35 year old maintenance issues it shouldn’t bankrupt you. Shared lots of driveline parts with the 5 series so online ordering isn’t bad other than body parts
Edit: I had a e28 535iS so I’m bias. But cars like this are only going up as long as it’s not rusted to the tits

The old sharknose doesn't haven't the same status as an E30, but it's from the same era, so it has the same virtues: bulletproof drivetrain and serviceability for the DIY mechanic.
You buy a car like this because you enjoy old school motoring, you're not afraid of getting your hands dirty, and you can scour the globe for new/used parts to restore it.

And it’s the right one to have. The m6 is awesome but the s38 is unfathomably expensive to rebuild when it pops. And if you get the older 630/633 cars they’re mostly euro imports and parts/suspension are unique to those cars, again can become a nightmare for for someone just getting in to ownership.

Who would even have the skills or balls to attempt such a rebuild in Vancouver?

If he bought for $9-10k, plus tax that’s $11,200. He lists for $14.5k and he won’t get that.
All that work and risk for $1-2k flip? That’s 10% return lol

I don't know anybody willing to spend 10G on that car. There are so many better Hondas people would buy for same or less.
