1989 HONDA CRX PROJECT, WRECKED IN FRONT, AND FRONT DRIVER SIDE. I PURCHASED THIS CAR OUT OF OKLAHOMA ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, AFTER A PICKUP COLLIDED WITH IT AND SMUSHED IN THE CORE SUPPORT AND LEFT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND DRIVER FENDER APRON. THE CAR WAS A RUNNING DRIVING HF WITHOUT ISSUE (I'M TOLD BY THE PREVIOUS R/O ANYWAY), BUT I CANNOT VERIFY ALL OBVIOUSLY. CRX DOES START RIGHT UP AND I DROVE IT UP ONTO MY CAR HAULER. I WAS GOING TO REPAIR IT AND GET BENEFIT OF THE 50+ HWAY MILES/GAL THESE THINGS ARE RATED FOR, BEFORE GAS CLIMBS TO A BILLION DOLLARS PER GALLON. HOWEVER, TOO MUCH WORK AND TOO LITTLE PLAY TIME HAVE LEFT ME WITH THE REALIZATION I'M JUST NOT GOING TO GET IT DONE. I BOUGHT A NEW REPLACEMENT CORE SUPPORT, LEFT FRONT FENDER AND RADIATOR, OVER THREE HUNDRED BUCKS IN REPLACEMENT PARTS RIGHT THERE AND ALL INCLUDED. I DON'T BELIEVE THE CV JOINTS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY THE COLLISION, BUT I'M NOT A MECHANIC AND OFFER NO ASSURANCES OVER WHAT ALL MAY, OR MAY NOT NEED REPLACING. SEATS ARE WORN, REPLACEMENT MUFFLER AND EXHAUST PIPE IN BACK INCLUDED. HEADLIGHTS DO WORK, RIGHT FENDER DOES NOT MEET UP WITH HOOD WELL AND WILL OBVIOULSY NEED SOME ADJUSTMENT. DO NOT BUY THE CAR AND THEN BEEF TO ME OR LEAVE NEGATIVE CLAIMING I DIDN'T DISCLOSE SOMETHING. THE THING IS WRECKED, I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT BUT UP ON A TRAILER AND I'VE SHOWN YOU PICS OF THE DAMAGE. TIMING CHAIN COVER IS CRACKED ON EDGE WITH A SLIVER MISSING. I'M TOLD THE PICKUP ACTUALLY TRAVELLED UP OVER PART OF THE DRIVER'S FRONT (HOOD IS REPLACEMENT) AND THE IMPACT PROBABLY BROKE THE SMALL PIECE OFF THE COVER. THE CRX DOES START UP WITHOUT ISSUE AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY UNUSUAL ENGINE NOISES THAT I CAN TELL (AGAIN, I'M NOT A MECHANIC OR HONDA SPECIALIST). OBVIOUSLY, IT CANNOT BE RUN LONG BECAUSE IT'S GETTING NO COOLANT. I HAVE A CLEAR ARKANSAS TITLE IN MY NAME, IT IS NOT, A SALVAGE TITLE. VEHICLE SOLD WHERE IS, AS IS, NO WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. PAYMENT DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS, NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT OF $100.00 DUE WITH 72 HOURS AUCTION CLOSE. SHIPPING EXPENSE AND ARRANGEMENT COMPLETELY BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY, VEHICLE SHOULD BE PICKED UP WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF AUCTION CLOSE. I'M SURE I HAVE LEFT OUT A ZILLION FLAWS OF THE VEHICLE, IF THERE IS SOMETHING SPECIFIC YOU WISH TO KNOW, ASK QUESTIONS, BEFORE BIDDING!On Jan-29-11 at 13:51:05 PST, seller added the following information: HELLO BIDDERS, PLEASE SEE THE ANSWERS POSTED BELOW TO SOME OF THE QUESTIONS I'VE RECEIVED, I'LL JUST HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS HERE, BUT THE ANSWERS PROVIDE MORE DETAIL IN A NUMBER OF AREAS. THE CAR DOES RUN/DRIVE AS STATED, AND I DID START IT UP AND DRIVE IT DOWN THE STREET TODAY. IT SHIFTS THROUGH ALL 5 FORWARD GEARS AND REVERSE, NO ISSUES I CAN TELL, BUT AGAIN, I ONLY GOT IT UP TO ABOUT 40 MPH AND THEN CAME RIGHT BACK (SINCE IT'S GOT NO RADIATOR AND I HAVE NO INSURANCE ON IT). I DO HAVE THE DRIVER HEADLIGHT AND BRACKET (AS PICTURED), AND I CAN TELL YOU THE DRIVER HEADLIGHT DOES WORK (IF YOU PUT IN A BULB) AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER SIDE, SO I WOULD THINK THE HARNESS IS OK. THE SPARE TIRE IS PRESENT AND IN DECENT SHAPE, AS IS THE PLASTIC WASHER RESERVOIR BOTTLE AND A NEW IN BOX WATER PUMP, STILL SEALED. I POSTED SOME MORE PICS OF THE UNDERSIDE, THERE IS NO RUST THROUGH ANYWHERE ON THE CAR I HAVE DISCOVERED, THE CAR IS NOT LEAKING ANY TRANSAXLE OR OTHER FLUIDS. THE OLD MUFFLER IS IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. AN EXHAUST SYSTEM IS PRESENT AND IN WORKING ORDER, THE OLD MUFFLER I GUESS IS THERE IF IT SHOULD BE NEEDED AT SOME TIME. THERE IS VIBRATION THROUGH THE DASH WHEN DRIVEN, BUT I DO NOT FEEL VIBRATION THROUGH THE DRIVETRAIN OR STEERING WHEEL, THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY, LOOSE PARTS ON THE CAR THAT ARE RATTLING/VIBRATING. I DID NOT WRECK THE CAR, SO I CANNOT ANSWER MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT''S 'PRE WRECK' CONDITION. THE P.O. I BOUGHT IT FROM (IN OK), STATED HE LEFT A 'FRIEND' DRIVE IT, AND THE 'FRIEND', WAS INVOLVED IN A WRECK IN WHICH A PICKUP TRAVELLED PART WAY OVER THE DRIVER'S HOOD/FENDER, CAUSING THE DAMAGE. I KNOW, WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR OFF CRIAGLIST, I CALLED THE FIRST NUMBER WHO TURNED OUT TO BE, 'THE FRIEND', WHO SAID THE CAR WAS UNAVAILABLE. WHEN THE AD POPPED UP A FEW DAYS LATER, IT WAS THE ACTUAL OWNER I SPOKE WITH, WHO SAID THE 'FRIEND' WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SELLING IT FOR HIM, BUT HAD BEEN JACKING WITH HIM AND LYING TO HIM ABOUT SELLING IT. THE OWNER STATED IT WAS SOLID RUNNING/DRIVING CAR BEFORE THE WRECK. NOW YOU KNOW WHAT I KNOW. I CANNOT GAUARANTEE THERE IS NO FRAME DAMAGE AND MAKE NO CLAIM TO THAT AFFECT, I'M REPORTING WHAT I KNOW AND SEE. STILL CONCERNED, I UNDERSTAND, THEN DON'T BID! IF YOU CANNOT FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THIS PURCHASE AND PICKUP WITHIN 3 WEEKS, DO...NOT...BID ON THE VEHICLE, AS I WILL NOT BE A HAPPY CAMPER.
