Look at the straight on front picture. Looks like here is scuffing around the right light, on the bumper.

dont' look like it.. look at the other front picture.. it looks like reflection.. good price if it's ledgit..

sellers got pretty high rating.. it's also a AC/radio model too..

seems like alot of theCR's are being sold with only few thousand miles..
I think dealers are tricking people by advertising as a convertible only for the buyers to find out later that there's no soft top..

probably because it rides like a buckboard (the standard S is pretty firm for the street) and doesn't have any more power (or even upgraded brakes)

to really sell this car, Honda needed to turbocharge it, it needs at least 300 hp.....notice the seller said he wants to "upgrade", that likely includes more power

If it had a turbo'd engine with 300hp, I wouldn't have bought it.

I highly recommend a CR if you're going to autox/track it and not mod it. Otherwise, a regular car is almost always a better deal. The S is a niche market car. The CR even more so. Just have to ask yourself if you're in the niche.
That might be true about the CR, but for only 2k more i get a hardtop 2 newer model years and i dont mind the suspension. My only gripe is the color, if it was white i would have bought it already. I've been looking around for a year for the perfect white 06 but this CR is cheaper than most 07's or 08's i see online.
