OK, here is my 2nd, and hopefully better, attempt to list my 1991 CRX Si. I wasn't happy with the first listing and ebay rules prevented me from changing some of the photos and rewriting the initial description to make it clearer.I will start out by answering most of the many questions I've been getting about the car right up front.1) Q: You have photos showing 2 different sets of wheels on the car. Which does it come with? A: The car had the ugly painted 15" rims on it when I bought it. I have decided to deliver the car with a nice set of stock factory rims, which also have relatively fresh Kumho tires on them. I think this is what most people seem to prefer, and also, I think it suits the "original stock" condition of the car better.2) Q: Is this the car's original paint finish? A: NO. When I got the car, it looked basically like a faded pencil eraser, because it had spent at least 12 or 13 years living in the Tucson, AZ desert, and it didn't appear to have been stored in a garage for most of that time, because the paint was so faded and also most of the rubber moldings were totally baked. I bought this car for 3 main reasons... 1) The low original miles. 2) It is nearly totally RUST FREE! 3) The fact that, other than a set of lowering springs and aftermarket wheels and stereo, the car had not been bastardized or swapped, and was still in mostly stock condition. I know that many CRX enthusiasts love to customize these cars a great deal, and I support that idea, to an extent. The fact is, however, that now after so many thousands of these cars have been modified there are relatively few "stock condition" examples left. If you are looking for a CRX with a B16 or B18, and ready for a weekend at the SCCA track, there are plenty to be had. However, the examples which are clearly worth the most, especially considering that the newest CRX is now 24 years old, are the ones which have remained untouched, and being an automotive restorer and CRX enthusiast, that is where my interest lies. So, when I saw this car come up for sale about 5 years ago, I could overlook the faded paint because of the other redeeming qualities the car has.3) Q: How does the paint job look on the car? A: For a totally clear idea and to feel the most confident about this, or ANY aspect of the car, for that matter, I HIGHLY encourage any serious bidder to come look at the car in person BEFORE they bid. However, I can tell you that the paint is clean and shiny and matches the original factory color. It's a 2k single stage acrylic urethane, like Honda used, But, it's not a concourse show-car job. There are some minor blemishes and imperfections in the finish. It looks great though, and none of the imperfections are noticeable from a few feet away. A huge amount of time was spent to properly prepare the car before painting. All the trim was removed, including door handles, mirrors, etc, and the original chalky faded paint was thoroughly sanded down and small dings filled, prior to application of a 2k sealer, which was then sanded again prior to top-coating, so the paint should be good for another 24 years. (as can be seen in the photos, there is no overspray) After the paint work was finished, the car was treated to as many brand new Honda original rubber moldings as we could find available still from the dealer, including rear quarter window moldings, and door window seals, and rain gutter strips (over $1,000 in new trim and moldings alone, and over $5k in expenses for the overall paint job) We restore other classic European cars at our shop, as a business..., but this CRX has been a labor of love, and I am quite proud of the work we've done to bring this car back to be a very respectable example of a CRX which any owner will feel proud to be seen in and drive. 4) Q: Does it have A/C, and does it work? A: YES, it has A/C, and the switch and fan do work, but it appears to be low on pressure because the compressor clutch is not engaging. This is one area which I do not have the equipment to remedy. I suggest the new owner simply take the car to a professional A/C shop for servicing. Everything else seems to be there and in working order.5) Q: Can I see some photos of the underside of the car? And of the engine and under hood area, etc.. A: YES, you can. I have taken dozens of photos, and have finally figured out how to display them inline here on ebay as part of the listing description, so I can give you far more than the 24 picture limit that ebay imposes in the top display area. If I still missed something that you want to see, simply write or call me and let me know and I will try to send additional photos for you.6) Q: If I buy the car, do you think it is safe to drive to _______? (i've been asked about places as far away as Oregon and Arizona and Florida!) A: While I obviously cannot guarantee anything, I honestly do not see any reason why the car would not safely and reliably make a trip to anywhere in the country. All lights function properly, the brakes are bled and work fine, and the rest of the car (steering, suspension, gearbox, etc) feel like you would expect a 50,000 mile CRX to feel.. still quite fresh and tight!! IF I HAVE STILL NOT ANSWERED EVERYTHING TO YOUR SATISFACTION, PLEASE CALL OR TEXT ME, AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO GIVE YOU ANY INFORMATION I CAN (908)-797-9758 - Now, without any further ado, here are photos of everyplace on the car I could think of which may be of interest to see....*******
