i called every single listing on the Recycler with CRX Si, and EVERY one of them (under $3k) have been sold

i know it's a popular car to mod, but this is ridiculoud (more than 20 CRX ads with Si listed online).

Cause people like me have wrecked too many of them. Since they aren't made anymore, everyone that is sent to car heaven/hell takes one more out of the pool.

My Mom has one she wouldn't mind selling. It's a '91. No major issues, but it drinks oil (needs valve work?) and the hood is mushed up some, and the A/C isn't very cold (possibly a hose messed up from the hood.) I don't remember the exact mileage, but I think it's around 140k.

These cars are fun. I've put 8000 miles on mine in the last 3 months. Oh, I'm averaging 38mpg.

You might not be able to find a good one because there are a lot of us out here who would never think of letting them go! My '90 CRX-Si has 88,000 miles and 40,000 are track miles. Even though the S2000 is on order I will not sell my CRX-Si. People ask me why I'm keeping it like they are surprised, obviously they never had one.

AutoThority chip, Borla 2.5" exhaust with 4" tip, Neuspeed header (I think, I forgot who actually), Akimoto freeflow air intake, Tokiko adjustable shocks, Eiback springs, Suspension Technique sway bars and bushings, Neuspeed shock tower brace, Stainless Steel braided brake lines, Hawk and Repco brake pads, Stainless Steel (brand) race brake fluid, AutoThority short shift kit, Triple-H brake ducts in grille, Triple-H brake scoops under the car, Mugen rear spoiler, Dobi ground effects, MSW 14x6" lightweight wheels, Potenza RE-71 195/55-14s for the street, and some other stuff I have forgotten about I'm sure.

Good luck mingster finding one!
