For some time now, the second generation Honda CRX has been one of the hotter vehicles in the class of 1980s models picking up steam across auction blocks and classifieds pages, especially when it has the iconic “Si” badge on its rear hatch. The example shown here is exactly that spec, a 1990 model that has higher miles but still presents incredibly well. The Si is a common target for extensive modifications, but this one has escaped unscathed with no major alterations to report. Despite having 202,199 miles on the clock, the seller reports it still drives and presents quite well. It’s listed here on eBay where bidding is at $6,100 with no reserve.

The listing describes the CRX as a one owner car, but it’s pretty clear from reading the description that the seller snagged this CRX off of a longterm caretaker. The way the listing reads about details like the radio appearing to be the only modification is not how someone would talk about a car that has been in their care for decades. The seller has obviously never registered or titled it in his name, which technically makes it a one-owner car, but it’s pretty clear you’re not buying it off of the guy who drove it out of the showroom. Regardless, the Si retains its factory alloy wheels and the “Frost White” paint is surprisingly clean for having over 200,000 miles.

The interior shows some signs of use, but really only on the driver’s seat – the rest of the Honda looks quite tidy inside. The CRX-specific door panels remain intact, with no speakers cut into the doors, but I’m sure there some rough spots if you look up close – it’s somewhat inevitable on a Japanese car of this vintage. The seller reports there’s an aftermarket radio present, and some fading of the plastic materials. The CRX came without a backseat, making it a true two-seater, and that manual gearbox is famous for its buttery-smooth yet incredibly precise shifting action. The seller doesn’t report any issues with the transmission or clutch, or seem to know if they were ever replaced.

The Si make a touch more power than the base model CRX, which was meaningful in a car this light. You don’t buy a CRX for numbers alone, as the driving experience and the ability to make it through the curvy bits without ever tapping the brakes is what makes the car so special, not to mention coveted by autocrossers and other amateur racing groups. The CRX seen here really is a survivor because it not only has emerged with its sensitive Japanese sheetmetal still intact, but has also managed to avoid being slammed to the ground and then fitted with a loud exhaust and louder stereo. Nice ones are near impossible to find, but bone stock Si models are the stuff of hen’s teeth these days.
