16k!!

I am so sick of the classic market in this country.. every Mick, Brendan or Larry with a car over 25 years old wants mad money, regardless of actual demand. Everything is a "rare car" or a "barn find" and fair enough, you are entitled to ask what you want.. Now my problem with this is that it creates an environment where asking silly money is the norm, driving prices sky high.

This might sound like sour grapes, but with 2 classics in the house that cost a lot to rebuild, I couldn't even stomach asking these kinds of prices if I wanted to sell

A 5 door XR3?

Is it South African? Seller Has a mk2 SA import for less money.

Its definitely south african

I'm not really certain its an XR3. South Africa has loads of weird and unique models etc. Can't see anything online to say a 5 door exists. Wikipedia says the XR3 came with 1.3 and 1.6 engines, I'd say it has a detuned XR3 1.6 from factory

Yanks.... They have to race in straight lines, coz they can't do corners

Well at least it's honest with the miles, which that car can take. But yeah, not worth a whole pile.

It's a shame between one thing and another with insurance and the likes. If I was 17 again, I'd love to pick up something like that for €1k to start out in.

I think that car is worth something south of a grand. It's not totally original either and has high miles.

They've had it for sale for quite some time too.
125bhp and despite being tiny it still weighs a tonne.

Put simply it's neither got the performance nor the following to command such a price.

@Lupo GTI

They commanded pretty decent money in the UK when I was looking for something a little rarer a few years ago, good later models hold their value well. That one is an import and from what I can tell, they've had it for quite some time. Its on one of the other forums.

No and for that money id expect it to be close to flawless. The damaged bumper and the worn mats are offputting

James Bond Junior

They're cool little things and I love the way the exhaust pipes are in the centre of the back bumper but parting with that kind of money is loop the lupo..

Seriously overpriced but half that I'd say he'd get it.

Cool Hondas include the first few generations of the civic, the crx, s2k and NSX. Gtfo here with your 2.2 torneos and preludes.

I personally think CL1s are one of the best all round cars you can buy albeit that one has been tacked up and madly overpriced. Theres not many other 4 door petrol saloons of that era with as good an engine or chassis. The gearbox can give problems but when they're in good condition they shift just aswell as any B series car.

This is going out to you Gravelly. I see you on the internet. You were crying into John Maghans face. Telling him you were going to fight me and that you were going to skip the que the only que you will be skipping is the que to the hospital because they will be moving all the other patients to the side after what I will do to you.

You started this internet shít. You were shíteting into a bucket for two whole weeks. We can all do the talking but I talk with these(my fists). I will be waiting for you up in Mullingar.

T'was bordering on that alright. It would be safer to say some lads sister was a bad ride than their beloved Civic was.

Plus the car is currently located in Italy - so unless you fly out there, you can't actually see/test the car except via pics.
