Used Car of the Day: 1988 Honda CRX DX

Yes, it's true -- there are still Honda CRXs out there.


This one has been garaged for a good chunk of its life, the seller says, and it's on its third owner. It is, also, apparently, stock. And the seller is asking just $8,000. Apparently, the only modification is a modern Kenwood audio system.

The seller says that the tires, brakes, radiator, fuel pump, and fuel tank have been replaced recently.

Only $8K for an in-shape CRX sounds like a good deal.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Since you're asking for car truths, here's my CRX truth: I once had some very athletic sex in one. Was young and flexible at the time.

    How on Earth is $8000 for a CRX DX a “good deal”!? Sorry, its a lot of $. Maybe to a trust fund baby or someone with mountains of disposable income? Its a CRX. These were $2000 (tops) all day in 2006. $8000????


  • 3-On-The-Tree Agreed that much for a turbo 4cyl. Maybe if it was a V8.
  • Tassos CARS MADE IN MAINLAND TAIWAN ARE SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS. THAT IS WHY AMERICAN FROM BOTH THE REGRESSIVE AND PROGRESSIVE PARTIES HAVE AGREED TO PUT HUGE TARIFFS ON THEM. BIDEN BIPARTISANSHIP!
  • Ajla No. The US government is going to put a 103% tariff on Chinese cars literally tomorrow and will very likely put on a complete ban by the end of this session. Supporting tariffs is possibly the most bipartisan thing in Washington right now.
  • Turbo Is Black Magic It’s only around $4K high. Honestly save a couple bucks and go find one of these in one of the great silly colors… this thing takes itself too seriously.
  • Jeff71960 nice car... but a little on the bland side visually... i love my Mopars and would rather have a "high impact" paint color 👍️
