Crx fan boi checking in :ninja
Huge deal behind the price is because they haven’t made another one, or made a proper “better” replacement for it. So yes, as many consider, the peak for a Light, FWD platform with a ton of potential was a 88-91 Crx, and it’s unfortunate that it was the last year those were made.
Old Camaros, Corvettes and Mustangs, **ALL** had newer and “better” generations replace them improving on nearly all aspects, that’s why they depreciate, because with a little more money you can buy a newer better one.
However, for you to buy a better Crx, the only way you can, is to find one in better condition with less miles, that makes it “better”. So instead of a 2001 mustang price compare to a 1988 mustang price, you get a comparison price of a MINT 1990 Crx, VS 200,000 miles 1990 Crx.
The _only_ thing that gives old American models value, is Novelty in a form of a special edition or a very limited production run. Other than those factors, people will always chose a newer better model.

I wasn’t saying you were. Sorry.
As much I like the CRX, it would be pretty hard for me to shell out $4,000 on a car that old regardless of what is done to it or not.
