So um... sold the CRX
Yep, I mentioned it in another topic but I sold the Si 2 weeks ago... to my brother.  Picked this up last thursday, love it and think I made the right move:
Never bought a car on impulse before. Was actually planning to save until December and pick up an Elise but realized I'd rather pick up something a bit more affordable and buy a house.
And no, I can't own a car that the hood matches on. Not sure what the deal is with that but I always manage to get deals and I don't mind this one nearly as much as the purple hood on the HF haha |

Probably because we nitpick every car on the market. I really can't think of anything in this price range I'd rather own (besides a GPW on Tan one  ) |

decent new ride but..................... you suck. The CRX is not worth that much cash, why not keep it????? It's not like it must have made a big dent in buying the S2000.

A lot of reasons really I guess:
1. Living in an apartment, can't have too many cars right now and it's a shame to let the car sit any longer (I hadn't driven that car since April of last year). The only reason that car was worth anything is because of it being stock paint, clean exterior, etc. and I didn't want to ruin that parking it at my current place.
2. The money I got from the CRX amounted to about 40% of the purchase price of the s2000.  Got deals on both ends and had a little money in the bank, ended up financing $5750 when it was all over. I wanted to keep my payments low so I can still save and be at least somewhat close to being able to putting a down payment on a house (or move east depending on how my job is treating me) next summer.
3. The CRX was kind of.. done actually. I loved where it was and how well it balanced everything, I had a few things I would of liked to of done but I couldn't justify the cost. With the s2000 I could easily sell it in the spring and recoup every penny I have in it. Plus, if I really want the CRX back I have first dibs on it if/when my brother sells it.
I dunno, it was just one of those change for the sake of change type of things I guess. |

You got an S2000 for just around 10K??? How did you do that. That's what 40% equates to. Damn good deal. I know about the apartment thing though, my CRX was parked in storage for 6 years because I couldn't have 2 cars where I lived. At one point I was 3 states away from my car and didn't even know if it was gonna be there when I went to get it.

10.5k as that car sits (minus the lip). It's got 100k miles and the body isn't perfect, but I got a deal to say the least. |

It's not much to look at right now. I have a list of parts that will be purchased/installed soon and then I'll do some decent photos. |

haha, patience. I actually just ordered a few things from majestic and have a few other things I'm negotiating on.
I'll probably do a full photoshoot the end of the month because I should have enough by then that the car will look pretty different. |
