Used Car of the Day: 1991 Honda CRX Si

by Tim Healey

Published: May 17th, 2023

Ahhh the Honda CRX. This little sportster powered more than a few sport-compact dreams back in the day.

For $6,000 or best offer, you can take home one of your own. This Anaheim, California-based ride has over 235,000 miles on the clock and is in good enough shape to be driven daily, though it does have some issues (such as a large tear on the driver's seat).

The owner says the car cleared California smog testing last month and it has a list of brake and suspension mods, and an even longer list of maintenance items that have been taken care of.

He or she says that the suspension is stiff since it's set up for racing.

Listed problems include a cracked windshield, a missing mirror, and some missing trim, and paint that needs to be redone.

Check it out here.

Tim Healey

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.

It's a Honduh. I has putrid black wheels. And it is not in great shape. Three strikes and its a dud.

My wife really wanted one of these when they were new. Instead we kept getting her Civic hatchbacks, until we got her the Civic 'Wagovan'. I wonder if she would appreciate a restored CRX now?

Zerofoo As much as I want "free" markets - they no longer exist.China has declared an economic war on the west. They will prop up their own industries with our money and undermine western industries as a strategy to soften up their economic rivals.We allow them to do this at our own peril.I don't like the idea of protecting inefficient industries, but I like losing those industries entirely to foreign nations even less.
Zerofoo A person that can be enticed to become a cop by a flashy car should probably not be a cop.
FreedMike I like this car's tech, but I just can't get past the styling here.
3-On-The-Tree Tassos, I’m have several different responses yeti your question.[list=1][*] I didn’t buy the corvette for the sole purpose of highway travail, I got it because my dad had a 57 Corvette with 2 four barrel carbs and. 283 V8. I wanted a corvette and a friend who has a custom car performance shop said to get the newest one you could afford.[/*][*]. Letting a car sit is the worst thing for it so it was my daily driver when I was still in the army 30 miles to the base round trip, 160 miles to Tucson form my doctors appointments and VA stuff. My POS 2014 F150 was constantly in the shop for both turbos, two rear main seals, timing chain, transmission. So I was in the process of selling that.[/*][*]But the most important point is that everyone has an opinion and it doesn’t matter what car a person buys or what they use it for.[/*][/list=1]
