> But here is the deal. I can understand purchasing the vehicle for an investment standpoint, and putting it in storage, but to buy it to drive is ‘full retard’, IMO. Why? Because if someone is purchasing this thing as their ‘sunny day/weekend’ car, well…I can list many cars/ideas that would be cheaper/more fun than driving around a 20 year old stock Honda. And to daily drive it? Well, it’s going to get torn up and depreciate. Also, it’s not as reliable as a car that’s 10-20 years newer that goes for a similar price. Period. Argue that all you want, but only someone with a fair amount of technical knowledge would understand.

Actually I think its fair to say THAT Crx would be more reliable and cost less to maintain than more than half of newer cars in that price range. Audis, bmws with mileage on them… chevys fords etc.  
Itd be dumb to claim most would get the Crx over a vette of same price. I’d def want a c5 anything, but look at what’s happening here: numerous people are willing to pay 93% of the original value of a 20 year old USED Honda. That would almost never happen on any other car. ESPECIALLY a vette or stang lol! This was meant to get groceries and be fuel efficient. LMAO

Shows ya how much you know about the domestic market. Clean foxbodies are pulling 8K all day long, and those arent the low mileage minty ones! I saw a 13K mile bone stock LX 5.0 go for 16K. Also, the 93 Cobra R’s that were put away are going for 60-70K as well.

Ok, yea your probably right… But can we really compare what a cobraR is pulling compared to an ‘econobox’ ? One probably only being produced in the thousands or tens of thousands compared to one by the millions?

Yeah the R’s are rare, but Id almost be willing to bet that there are as much, if not more “normal” Fox’s than Crx’s produced!

Old crx and civic are now a cult car. Many people think that its simply a piece of shit old honda. To those who have had them and grown to like them tend to understand why they may go for big bucks. I would not pay 14k for that particular car but if I was rich it might be a different story. People pay top dollar for cars they consider classics, so why make such a joke out of it??

> Head/neck Chest Leg/foot, left Leg/foot, right  
> Good Good Good Good Good Good

> Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.  
> Test details:

> The Ford F-150 was redesigned for the 2004 model year.

> Note: This pickup does NOT share the same design as the 2004 F-150 Heritage, which was produced for only one model year. The 2004 Heritage shares the design of the older 1997-2003 F-150 pickup models, which were rated Poor overall in the 40 mph frontal offset crash test.

> Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. After the dummy moved forward into the airbag, it rebounded into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.

> Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
