This 1991 CRX, sold new in France, would have to eclipse US$41k to become the world’s most expensive—and it looks like it might
- A 1991 Honda CRX sport compact being sold out of New Brunswick could be the most expensive one auctioned
- The car, sold new in France, has just 1,500 km on its odometer and looks to be in nearly mint condition
- The auction record for the model currently sits at US$41,277, set just this past August
We wouldn’t be surprised if this Celestial Blue Pearl CRX landed somewhere around that mark a half-week from now. The Honda was sold new in France, a gift for the original buyer’s daughter even though she couldn’t drive (that explains the low mileage). After some 28 years of storage, it was picked up by an enthusiast who flipped it to the current N.B.-based seller in September 2022, and then imported to Canada this March.
Meanwhile, if you’ve got the itch for a CRX but still can’t see yourself shelling out brand-new Honda Pilot money for a 33-year-old compact, daily-driver-condition copies are much more reasonably landing in the US$13,000 to US$15,000 range (CDN$18,000 to CDN$20,700) at the moment.
