How much did u pay for ur EF

[Thundercat]

just wondering how much some of you guys spent on the initial purchase of your car...i'm looking to pick up a 88 hatch that needs some work..thanks in advance

[uproot]

i have a 91 hatch for sale that needs a little work, $800 OBO

[Papa_Smurf]

I got mine for $1,500.

good thing about EF's is that you can pick em up pretty cheap.

[Whiteboy™]

mine for $1,200

[Black R]

i paid $2500 for a 91 si back in 2000. I'd expect them to be a lot less now.....

[bigdare23]

91 CRX Si 80k (perfect) $4000 back in 2000
90 CRX auto 200k+ (clean) $1700 back in 2002
88 CRX Si 180k (clean) $1100 in 2004

See how the price dropped .......

[Thundercat]

thanks everyone...i'm guessin that 800 is a fair offer for a 88 with a b18 swap..not to mention it doesn't run preciate the gauge.

[BTLFED]

I payed $4400 for my 88 CRX Si....in 1996.

[quickdodge®]

Paid $100 for mine and another $1,000 to get it roadworthy. Later, QD.

[EvasiveEF9]

QD, I'm with you. Kinda...

It was sold for "100$". Well, when time came down to do the title, the bastard pulled some shit...but we ended up getting the car for free. Then it took about 800 or so to completely rebuild the d15b2 back to mint condition. It today sits with about 85K miles on it, and still runs like day 1. Hence why I'm in NO hurry to get rid of it...

[StraightSix]

I picked mine up from a friend for $500, pretty much in the condition it's in now. I had to replace and axle, and eventually the 4spd transmission. Other than normal wear and tear stuff, I haven't had to do anything really major.

[Formally...]

I fell like I got some good deals on mine.

91 Std - $300 - in someones basement covered for 4 yrs. Had to put motor in it.
91 SI hatch - $400 - needed motor and trans but had DA seats, adj shocks, etc
89 4dr LX - $300 - ran but not good, needed paint, swapped in SI motor and trans
91 CRX SI - got good deal on it but will have a lot in it to do what I want it to do

Good thing is that I seem to always have some spare motors to put in all of them.

[EvasiveEF9]

Charles, would that one listed last be project X...? Can't wait...

[Thundercat]

thanks again everyone.. this along with KBB have given me a good idea on how much $$ i want to put into this possible project.

[EvasiveEF9]

Let us know if you need help. Some of us have alot of knowledge, and some of us have alot of spare parts...

[Thundercat]

yea i have a feeling i'm going to need a distributer..that is if i pick up this hatch

[KevinT707]

Got my Rex for FREE.

[Thundercat]

i wish it was that easy...i should try it since the car doesn't run..motors is fine thou..but i think 900 is a reasonable offer for a poorly wired hatch w/a b18

[jfrolang]

I paid $2500 in May 2001. Since then I've put close to $20k into it though, and more to come.

[BTLFED]

Got my Rex for FREE.

How much did your parents pay for it?

[EvasiveEF9]

How much did your parents pay for it?

[SLPR]

traded my broke down 96 civic ex coupe for mine. best trade i ever made

[AgentEasy]

i paid 0 dollars and 00 cents for mine

300 for the motor and trans

all in all when my goal is 100% met.. it'll have near 10K in it..

[Cato ED-6]

1.2k and still putting money into it.

[bigdare23]

1.2k and still putting money into it.

that will never end

[EvasiveEF9]

Yeah...I've sank somewhere around 7 or 8...and it still doesn't have paint.

[GsrCrx]

jajaja, i spent around 4.5 k for the hatch and turbo goodies in the first swap, and i have about 6 k on this motor that im building, and still not running good, lol

[Thundercat]

evasive...what motor are u workin with

[EvasiveEF9]

Currently it's just a stock OBD1 LS motor. You can pick them up cheaply. I actually have an extra one laying around. I wanted to work out all the kinks before building the motor the way I want it. It'll end up as LSVTEC in the end.

[bigdare23]

You'll dont want to know how much I got invested......

[2.0civic]

I paid $2500 in May 2001. Since then I've put close to $20k into it though, and more to come.

How do you have 20k in a CRX?

[jfrolang]

Well I dropped $7k into my swap earlier this year, and $4k in bodywork last year. That's more than half already. I've got about $2k in audio, $1200 in my custom seats, $2k in suspension, various little pieces all around... JDM here and there. I've owned the car for 6 years. I could spend another $20k and not be done. Glass roof coming up.

[Papa_Smurf]

jfrolang, do you by any chance have your car in snellville, gwinnett county?

i swear there is a rex that looks like urs over here...

[Thundercat]

dang 20k ...thats actually not much if you break it down by years..i could'nt imagine it not being close to finish with that type of money in it thou.

anybody have a LS bottom w/ ITR head in an EF...kinda of wierd alternative...i bet it'd put down some good numbers thou,

[bigdare23]

How do you have 20k in a CRX?

you never seen his rex.............. I got just a tab less invested into mine

[bigdare23]

jfrolang, do you by any chance have your car in snellville, gwinnett county?

i swear there is a rex that looks like urs over here...

put it like this, if his rex is in snellville we all need to take a ride over there

[PenginHatch]

paid 1800 for 90 civic d15

[Papa_Smurf]

put it like this, if his rex is in snellville we all need to take a ride over there

yea, idk if it's his or not.... it's like all white w/ the bottom painted a dark blue or sumthin

i dunno, i just saw it when i was driving by on the way to the V last weekend, and it looks similar to the car in his avatar thing....

[jfrolang]

It had better not be in Snellville! D is about the only one that even knows where my car is, and the only one that could access it. Ride by and make sure it's still there homie? I'll be back in 10 days or so.
