A 1991 Honda CRX Si sold for $71,500 on January 12, 2025, according to CLASSIC.COM. That is a striking recorded result, not a typical price for every CR-X: the same service lists generation benchmarks of $11,489 for 1984–1987 cars and $16,680 for 1988–1991 cars. Your car’s value depends on its specific year, trim, condition, mileage, originality, and local market.
What is a Honda CR-X worth?
CLASSIC.COM’s market page, accessed October 8, 2026, lists a benchmark of $11,489 for first-generation Honda CR-X models and $16,680 for second-generation models. These are the service’s market benchmarks, not guaranteed sale prices or year-specific auction results. Its page also records a $71,500 sale of a 1991 CRX Si on January 12, 2025.

| Example | Reported figure | What it represents |
|---|---|---|
| First generation, 1984–1987 | $11,489 | CLASSIC.COM benchmark on the page accessed October 8, 2026 |
| Second generation, 1988–1991 | $16,680 | CLASSIC.COM benchmark on the page accessed October 8, 2026 |
| 1991 CRX Si | $71,500 | Recorded sale on January 12, 2025, reported by CLASSIC.COM |
The CR-X was produced from 1984 through 1991, in two generations. The record-setting example was specifically a 1991 Si; it should not be treated as a price guide for an HF, a base model, or a car in a different condition. See CLASSIC.COM’s Honda CR-X market page for its benchmarks and sale context.
Why do CR-X sale prices vary so much?
Hagerty’s past-sales index shows recorded outcomes across Si, HF, and standard CR-X/Civic variants, with prices spanning from lower-priced high-mileage examples to stronger five-figure results, as well as the January 2025 Mecum result. Those examples differ in specification and sale circumstances, so they illustrate variation rather than provide a like-for-like price comparison. Hagerty’s past-sales index is useful for reviewing individual listings and dates.

#1 Best Overall
Year and generation
Start by comparing cars from the same generation and, where possible, the same model year. First-generation cars are from 1984–1987; second-generation cars are from 1988–1991. A broad CR-X benchmark can obscure differences between individual years and versions.
Trim and specification
Match the trim as closely as possible. A recorded Si sale does not establish the value of an HF or standard model. Confirm the car’s identity and equipment rather than assuming a badge or listing title is sufficient.

Condition, originality, and mileage
Compare the car’s overall condition, mileage, and degree of originality with the examples you are considering. A modified car and an original car are not automatically comparable. The available market pages show variation among vehicles but do not quantify a fixed price premium for low mileage, originality, or paperwork.
Documentation and transaction details
Use individual sale records where details are available, including the sale date and vehicle description. An auction result, dealer transaction, and private sale may reflect different circumstances; a recorded price alone does not establish what another owner will receive.

How to estimate your own CR-X’s value
- Identify the car: confirm its year, generation, trim, and specification.
- Describe its condition: record mileage, maintenance and ownership documentation, originality, and modifications.
- Find close comparables: review recent sales of the same generation and trim, looking at condition and mileage as well as the headline price.
- Use a guide for your market: a US sale result may not translate directly to a UK asking price or transaction.
- Compare a range, not a record: treat an exceptional sale as evidence that an exceptional example can command attention, not as a forecast for your car.
Why location and date matter
Collector-car values change over time and vary by market. Hagerty says its US valuation tools draw on private sales, dealer transactions, and auction results. Its UK price guide updates quarterly, so UK readers should consult the UK-specific guide rather than assume US benchmarks apply. See Hagerty’s valuation tools and its UK CRX valuation page for their respective market contexts.
Neither a benchmark nor a past sale is a vehicle-specific appraisal. The sources do not establish why the $71,500 Si achieved that result, or how much any one feature contributed. A defensible estimate comes from comparable cars matched to your vehicle and its sale market.
