1991 Honda CRX 5-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The second-generation Honda CRX arrived for 1988 as a refined version of an already well-regarded formula — a lightweight two-seat front-wheel-drive coupe that prioritized driving engagement over outright power. The 1.5-liter inline-four and 5-speed manual transmission combination produced a car that rewarded driver input through its direct steering, light weight, and precise gearbox rather than through horsepower, and the CRX's handling characteristics earned it a devoted following. Production ended after 1991, making the final year cars the most refined of the generation.

This final-year CRX was acquired by the seller in 2023, and has since received mechanical attention covering brakes, suspension, drivetrain seals, timing belt, water pump, engine mounts, and more. The car retains its stock two-tone bucket seat interior with the exception of an aftermarket JVC head unit and front and rear dash cameras.

This 1991 Honda CRX is offered at no reserve with two Chilton's repair manuals, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Washington title in the seller's name.
