horrible cars to own, but would still own

go with something you can sell easily after winter ends or else you're going to be stuck with a big lawn oranment... there are lots of these popping up on craigs. this is just an example:

2000 Honda Civic w/snow tires - $3200 https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/rds/cto/5955644759.html

https://images.craigslist.org/00t0t_...TH_600x450.jpg



or something a little more upscale: 2004 Acura tl - $4450 (Langley) https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/rds/cto/5959542231.html

https://images.craigslist.org/00707_...RJ_600x450.jpg

not sure if this an easy fix but it could be a quick flip for $ if it can be sorted out... or break it down for spare parts and make some extra $?

2003 Honda Civic 4dr - Not Running - $1000 (Port Moody) https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/pml/cto/5954992288.html

Rust-free CRX Si, 160k miles, $4500

I am pretty sure that car is just a quick flip from someone here.

There was a relatively fresh US Import CRX being sold for a $1500 roughly a month back, the center console was trashed due to the audio system being ripped out.
You can still see the missing B-pillar cover, probably due to the break-in.

You may be right. Looks like they took the ad down the moment somebody spoke up :lawl:

They refused to do a PPi at Mercedes so there prob more wrong with it. It did drive pretty good and felt really solid.

That's bullshit. You wouldn't repaint or need to repair the seats bolstering if it legit had 26,000km on the odo

I can't speak to the re-paint, however, the seats could have been purchased used prior to being installed. Hence the need to fix them. I had a set in my MS3 and the bolsters had the foam disintegrate. The person who bought my seats ended up fixing it.

Kev

this is the one that was on display at SR auto's richmond location. the paint was sun faded like most jdm imports because covered parking is scarce and summers can be brutal in japan. i think fastrack did the respray, but i'm not 100% sure. there are others here who are more familiar with this car who could comment more. the recaros weren't *that* bad but the seller wanted to do a full restore and didn't want to leave it. if the mileage is in question get the japanese vin and run it through http://www.japanesehistorycheck.com/ or similar.

The odd time I drove my wife's odyssey to work I was impressed. Fuel economy was awesome, it was comfortable and you could blend in with traffic so well. I hated owning a minivan, but the Odyssey was definitely the best choice of what was available.

I could see someone dd'ing and odyssey. Pull out the seats and you have tons of room. Also, less weight so you can break off those pesky vtec kids at the stoplight.

There is a guy looking for a cheap car for his family on another thread, wonder if he bought yet. This might be perfect for him.

Clean EK hatch 96 EX manual 171kms $3800

Lol so if it wasn't in an accident, the guy would have probably charged $20K...

meh.

^nothing in those pics say Vancouver.

^ that ad is from 2009, says it's in Raleigh (which is in North Carolina if I'm not mistaken) and lists the car for $1200.
