Hey guys,

After 8 years of ownership, the time has come to let the Max go. The wife and I just bought a house and are in the market for a 3rd gen CRV.

It is a 1997 Deep Evergreen Metallic SE 5 speed. Took me months before I could track this one down at a dealership 2 hours away since I was really looking for a manual tranny. It's got every available option that was offered for that year including heated leather seats (comes in handy during those "cold" southern california winters lol)

Mechanically, the car runs great. Original engine and transmission. The clutch was replaced right under 130k. Alternator, A/C compressor and starter were all replaced around 110-130k as well. Except the clutch, most of the work was performed on the car by me and sometimes with some help from my friend who works as a master tech at a dealer nearby.

Cosmetically, car is also very good. Aside from expected road chips and such on the front, the paint is in good condition. The tan leather interior is also in good shape with no tears or rips.

Here's a link to my posting on craigslist for additional info: http://ventura.craigslist.org/cto/2976503808.html

This car would make a great daily driver or a base for mods. Shoot me an offer by PM or preferably by email at: egxflash@gmail.com'

Price has been reduced to $4000 obo before she goes up at the Newbury Park Auto Fair this weekend. If you're local, you can come by and give the car a once over at the site.

Thanks for the interest guys.

GLWS! Very Very Clean!!!

 

Thanks.

Come on and make me an offer guys. I'd like to see this car fall in one of your guys' hands instead of some 17 year old girl getting it as her first car :\

 

I'm considering it but I need to sell my M5 first. I need a good drive to work vehicle. I'll let you know when my M sells.

 

PM me if you drop the price.

 

For sure. Car is still up for sale so far. Just let me know then in case nobodys snatched her up yet.

good luck with your sale

 

Damn shes spotless in and out!! Look at that engine bay. GLWS mang

 

Thanks! Yeah she takes pictures real well. Like I said theres some expected blemishes from road debris and such but overall shes very clean.

It's almost disappointing that the general market hasn't been very favorable with the car. I'm in no rush to sell but looks like I really have to wait for someone who isn't averse to a manual transmission. Too many commuters nowadays...not enough drivers!

 

JEEZUS free bump, this is gorgeous

 

Just a notice. This car has been SOLD to another org member. It was bittersweet but I guess its time to move on. Thanks!

Ill bring the posting down later

 

congrats with the sale
