Okay mileage (146xxx KM), good price (22.5K), compared to the other 30K asking prices. Some mods. Not sure if this the widebody or the narrow body variant. I'm pretty sure its the widebody.

yup, its a widebody. GR's were sold only with widebody.

weirdly, late body standard WRX's were given widebody treatment at the almost end of that model cycle.

i know these are an acquired taste, but this is a lot of car for $32k...

OHHH so that's why I think there's two variants. I wasn't sure if it was just the wrx that got two body styles - wide and narrow.

Do these cars have sub frame issues like the e46 M3's do?

Yes, not as much though.

M3's have a lot more issues, but with frequent bushing changes and keeping up with maintenance you can save yourself a headache on a 330 or lower model.

I have heard of it mostly on M3's vs 330's stock vs stock and how they are driven. Any FI'd e46 is a huge concern for subframe, and keep this in mind too, most people who buy pre-owned or even new e46 (non-M) rarely stick to the maintenance of changing bushings until they fail horribly. so ALWAYS do an inspection on any E46. you can easily check it yourself with a jack, stands, and a flashlight.

That CRX is a little beat up. Rust developing on both rear wells. Originally red so who knows what's hiding underneath it

Price maybe a touch high but this is rare to see in a manual, would be a blasty blast to drive

Damn. I haven't seen Chris's old EG in years. He is an old school RS EZ board member and island moderator and has been tuning Hondas since the early 90s. Lots of money spent on this car. If you are looking for an EG keeper this one is a good choice. Here it is on Usedvic as well:

I knew the name sounded familiar, but couldn't remember where he was from. I don't even remember his original username on the RS EZ Board days!

I bet Sunfighter or Super Dipper remember. Those guys have been on here even longer than I have.

you bought it didn't you???? ��

Can't really go wrong with that red boxster imo.

ad seems legit, but the address comes up as delta, not vancouver as advertised. google maps matches the pictures.

so pricey... but so nice...

Such an aesthetically pleasing car with that red leather interior and black exterior. I wish the 911's were cheaper however.

It isn't bad but there are cheaper options but do have higher mileage.

hold out for a bigger motor than the 2.5 - even if you don't go to an S

2002?3+ cars are 2.7

too much dough for an early car, even with the low miles
