900 dollar rex

so i found this gray primered crx where i live its got a sohc vtec but i dont know which one and the shop that did the work must have milled it off because its blank but my question is would you buy the car ...... the body is ROUGH like dents all over especially the roof and right rear quarter it has some rust.... but i think the primer has stopped the rust it is an 88 hf but i test drove it and the gears seem uberly long and the clutch slipped hard when i made the 1-2 shift at 7k the interior is stipped the ac compressor is stil on the car but not hooked up to anything its got a short ram intake some header couldnt tell what kind high flow cat and a flow master that looks like it came off a camaro or something and 4 tips which they hacked the rear bumper to accomidate them it does have slr fenders though andthe seats are only attached to the tracks in the back the guy knows nothing about it because he bought it from some guy a few days ago and its too much smaller than his suburban the question is although its a beater would you pay 900 or offer less like maybe 800

I'd pay about 500 max for it.

Yeh i'd say 500 but the max i'd pay is like 700.

I got my 91 CRX with 180k pretty good exterior, lowered, exhaust, bad tires and grinding tranny for $1100. You will probably be able to find something better. Look on ebay.

i think you guys are over looking the vtec swap but i know what your saying i still think im gonna go for it

here the thing you dont know if this motor is trashed or not this guy doesnt know either so I would say $600 max if your heart says its good and $400 if your not sure and I think cause you posted here your not sure. You dont have to prove to us its worth it you have to believe its worht it.

What I would look aty the closest is the condition of the rear quarters and the roof. primer over existing rust wont keep it from spreading. Other panels can be replaced in time. Still wouldnt pay more than 500-600.

look at it this way, expect to run into problems, crx's are pretty old as it is, and the way ur describing the condition of this rex, looks like your going to be running in to more than a few probs, and if you dont have the money to fix it on the spot, then well its going to suck, but hey if you got money and time to spend on it, and are just buying it as a project car then go for it. Good luck

doesnt matter much anymore sold some guy had cash on the spot so im on the look still
