I just got my car
 

Okay, some of you will laugh - but whatever. :)

I got my settlement from the insurance company, so I went and bought a 1989 Honda CRX si. It's beauty. Nice rims and tires, pristine engine, sunroof et al.

It's awesome. And I only paid $4,000 Canadian. I pocketed 2 grand out of the deal to boot.

Thought I would let you all know. I'm pretty jazzed about it! :thumbsup

4k for an 89? Lord I could have gotten you an '86 Mustang with blower and all pulling about 450HP for 3k US dollars. :thumbsup

you gotta remember its Canadian.. thats like $100

Nah. I commute - so the honda was perfect. like 30 bucks every 2 weeks in gas.

I'm not into the flashy shit. I just like a decent car with no rust that will get me where I need to go, and doesn't look like junk.

My jeeps were all pimped out - but I got out of that phase after the second one was rolled.

Exactly. If I ask for your lunch money, I can turn around and buy a house with USD.

I own 800 Canadian rental properties.. cost me $1000.

i have an 89 crx too with a b16 in it for a rice rocket
holla balla

pics? :D

I'll post pics asap for sure.

coo coo :)

btw, what city do u live in, TO?

but then hed be stuck driving one fuck of an UGLY car. 80's stangs are pure ASS!

hahahha I had the same thought :) I wanted an Si about 5 years ago, but then we ended up with a sweet little RX7. It goes like stink :)

:1orglaugh

Well... what I fail to see is how ALL of you US based fuckers don't have nice cars. While I was there I was near tears when I looked at the prices of both new and used cars. They're around 300% cheaper than in finland.
In finland a new 1.6 liter Ford focus costs around ?20k :sadcrying
...which is like 100k USD. :1orglaugh

No rust on a CRX??? Did you double checked it, cause they all seem to be very rusty over here. Specially around the wheels bows (where the wheel is, don't know if you call it like this :) )

Anyway, hope yours is ok :thumbsup

does it look like this?

congrats with the new car bro ;)

I have a 90 CRX si, I think I need to sale it. Its been sitting on the side of my house for a couple years now :(

:1orglaugh

Honda CRX rocks

ARE YOU CRAZY? 4k for a CRX damn

CANADIAN DOLLARS !!!:thumbsup

Now you're sure to pick up the chicks :thumbsup

Back in the day my CRX pulled lots of chicks. I look back now and cant help but laugh.

WTG man... :thumbsup

Sounds about right, I looked all over for a nice little Honda and the prices would blow you away up here. I had a friend going to auctions in Oshawa and Toronto and he said as soon as the east indian and asian buyers heard the word Honda they would get into a bidding war and drive the prices way up. I think it because they'll do 300k and ask for more.


Anyways I ended up buying a girlie Mustang.

That statment gave me a hard on :thumbsup

Honda CRX?

You would have been better off buying a horse

Sheesh, gimme' a break, he got something he wanted, be happy for him, its his milestone not yours :-)

I think horses are more expensive than what he paid :winkwink:

So where are the pics?

thats why you need to buy one from here and ship it over :thumbsup

My father owns a custom Harley shop and he gets guys that come from europe all the time and buy up motorcycles and cars and ship them overseas to make a whopping profit.

Damn... thats just under 2k US. We go to Canada all the time and get the exchange rate. I don't know how you guys make a living there. Youre taxed out the ass and your dollar is low. Some great cities in Canada though. I have had some wicked times there.

I used to have a Civic in HS. Not much of a chic magnet, but it was a good car.

CRX? pffff, hyundai is where its at, foo....

4000 canadian? a tank of gas would cost that much alone once you convert it to usd$

Yeah, we are taxed pretty hard. High income tax, high pst and gst. But whatever... nothing we can do about it. Dollar is low -but we can still buy CDN goods.

Problem up here is no jobs. So when there are, there is so much demand that thousands of people apply for this one job. Which means the employer can pay $8CDN an hour for the work, and slave drive them.

It's... insane. I can't wait to quit this gay job and work on here full time.

I will post pics... soon - I need to borrow a digital camera.

And NO rust. It had a diamond coat on it. I looked, and checked for bondo with a magnet and such. It really is amazing what I got for the price.

If you like it, great.
congrats, good for you!

congrats!
