Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire
just picked up this 1987 CRX sight unseen for $500. It has over 288,000
miles but otherwise sounds pretty solid. He needs to go retrieve it
from Toronto, but when he gets it back to LA, what should he do with it?
What would you do with it?
I wonder if this is $500 US or Canada? I also wonder how much it will cost to get this well aged machine from Toronto to Los Angeles. Something is a little odd here with the claimed costs and engine. The images at The Smoking Tire include a Canadian bill for almost $1700 of engine work done in 2006. The engine identification (D15 A3) is for an Australian, New Zealand and European market engine not Canada or US.
There's also some easy to see winter rot, rusting in this chassis and exhaust. No surprise there, Toronto gets a little bit of snow most winters. It also appears that this machine sat for nearly the last year and a half virtually unused.
This sounds like somebody is getting setup somewhere. I wonder, is it Matt getting setup with some misleading paperwork or is Matt's audience getting the business that they can find a sweetheart deal like Matt found?
