At those prices they're a WAY better car than, say a 997.2 Porsche which is about the same money... just my opinion... | I thought you were you were talking about Miatas at first. $400k for a Miata?!? What?

It's not rust, but there's plenty of anecdotes of brown/green rads blowing up. For a couple hundred to replace, it's a worthy insurance from being stranded in the summer.
Still though, for a sunburst yellow NA in great condition that's a good asking price.

Great deal for an NA Miata in today's market. Seems like everyone with a high mileage rust bucket clapper think their's is worth 9k...

He has an R plate on it. Might have got it for cheap to free, keep that in mind when making an offer.

They are comically small for a vehicle of that size and weight (10.8" diameter with a single piston caliper / rear drums). Also the TRD short shifter kit is still available

I feel that CRX is underpriced, guys. The 4-foot long rust bubble adds character of its resilience and adds a tremendous amount of character, adding to collectability. Should be more like $28,000. You guys are so silly. Totally missing out. They don't know what they have.

Wondering how you work that shifter... thought it was hydraulic e-brake at first.

CAE makes some amazing shifters, the shifter itself is about 1200USD.

it's raised up to make it easier to access - like a rally car.
it's not really any different from the shift box that's under your center console - other than the lockouts etc.
super cool part - but it's not really here in the build for more functionality.
CAE make the best ones in the business for many applications - and the earliest commercially available ones AFAIK (there are plenty of clones now)

I saw this get traded in at one of our dealers, not really a good buy per-se but cool to see a pretty much a New-Old-Stock 1st gen CLS Lol. I was amazed at how clean it is. 12,000KM on the ODO. https://openroadautogroup.com/used/2...DJ7CB1BA171170

Probably a buy ... not good per se but these rarely show up. Definitely some negotiating on the price but fwiw.

^ I think yours would prob fit under a 'good buy'. I don't know what all the rage is about the CSX Type S vs. Civic Si ... a few more bells and whistles, leather? But CSX Type S rarely goes on sale and this one has ~ 2x the mileage of yours.
I think if you really want to sell your 4 Dr Civic Si with that low mileage, you should have no problems ... maybe for a little bit more in today's market.

Blue CSX. Flipper car.
Went to see it when last owner was cutting it at 6500. Ended up being a bidding war so I walked.

After using it for the first 8 months or so 7-10 days a month, it was in the shop more often than he was driving it until one day he tried to pull it out of the garage and it wouldn’t start period. After a week in the mechanic they figured the electronics required to get it running properly would cost more than the car was worth lol
