> Basically any new Civic has to be nicer than a bare bones '90 CRX. I know you cant buy a brand new one for $14k but certainly one much newer than 20 years old for that price.

New ones _start_ @ $15.5k, will have DRUMS in the back, while the Crx had Disks _20 years ago_. New Civic will have _less_ hp/lb.

Once again define _“nicer_”_._ Power windows? Woopty do.

> Insane because $14k is alot of money for a 20 year old basic car that was probably $4k new. I dont know what would make somebody pay that kind of money for that car.

**Wrong** Msrp was around ~$14K for an Si model 20 years ago. Adjusted to inflation it costs about as much as a new Civic Si, or low 20’s.

What would make people pay that money for it, is because it’s _better_.

> When I tried selling my grandmother’s low mileage '93 car here people thought it was rediculous that I was asking $1500 for a 16 year old car with 34k, limited options and no rust but yet people are thinking this sale was a deal or something.

Because it was a piece of shit.

People actually _want_ to own these cars and are quite willing to pay for them. Unlike most older domestics which are worth nothing.
