Esford90 has a very clean example. The nicest i’ve seen by far and probably magazine worthy. Also kyle (Hondakid) has been making nice progress on his CRX. ---

well if you really want to think analytically, you have to compare the depreciation of this car to other cars in 1988 and look at the opportunity cost considering you’d probably have a different car. I bet the CRX is in the top 10% ---

If I’m losing $10k in depreciation I’m going to put more than 39k miles on the car. True, but you lose money on nearly ANY car. I didn’t say it would be good for investment purposes, but it is good to get nearly half back of what it would be worth in today’s money. I love these cars, but would have a hard time shelling out over $10k for one, even if I had the extra cash laying around. > [@seth13](#): > > Esford90 has a very clean example.

Guy A paid $23k (today dollars) new, drives it 39k miles, sells it for $13k ($10 today dollars depreciation) = 1,700 careful miles/yr = 25 cents per mile. Guy B paid $23k (today dollars) new, drives it 250k miles, junks it for nothing in 2007 = 15,000 care free miles/yr of beating on it = 9 cents per mile. Even if we add in three timing belt changes, with labor, at $1000 a pop and 5 sets of tires at $400 a pop. $28k = 11 cents per mile. **Guy A is paying twice as much to have a "collector worthy" car.** And is probably enjoying the car much less. ---

no, you have to compare a 1988 CRX to another 1988 car given the same usage. ---

A bit back I went into Subway in Eden and there was a black Si, bone stock, in the employee area. I asked the sandwich artist where he found it as it looked brand new. Florida. The next time I saw it, it had the obligitory Ebay touches. I saw a maroon/burgandy one not too long ago, somewhere in my travels, that looked brand new also. Also-is that a Civic of that vintage to the A pillars or was it completly different? ---

> [@Quattro Krant](#): > > Also-is that a Civic of that vintage to the A pillars or was it completly different? Mechanically they are the same. It was based off the Civic, but the body panels, some lights and some dash pieces are Crx specific. > [@theblue](#): > > that silver one looks great. AFAIK, it looks like this now, ground up, complete teardown, OEM+ restoration. ---

Yep, took the Subaru I got for my daughter’s first car to a buddy to get inspected yesterday and we were talking about the used market. He said in all the years he’s had a shop he’s never seen so many people putting ridiculous amounts of money into cars that are total piles just because they can’t afford new or even used right now.
