CRX HF has a 62HP 8 valve engine. If he says there's a valve problem, and you want to keep the HF engine (probably a requirement, since you drive a Metro), offer him $300-500, depending on the condition of the body and scrap prices in your area.

Your Metro, if in good condition (Think rust), is worth more than the Honda.

Honda CRX's have plenty of room in them, though. And they're 2 seaters, JDM optioned backseat you can find on eBay once in awhile. Replicas you can find alot, but you can't fit two full size adults back there... more like 2 13 year olds.

The HF's engine and gears are matched so that you're in a very efficient area of the engine at around 60 MPH in 5th gear. With good driving technique, you can probably get near what SVOboy is getting. 50 isn't hard, 60 isn't unheard of.

There is no rear swaybar, that was an Si option only. Rear wiper, not on the HF. No rear disc brakes, also Si only. The catalytic converter is under the hood, rather than under the car.

So to recap - SOHC, 62 HP, D15B6, 8 Valve, 5MT, sweet little ride with excellent numbers both highway and city.

Frankly, it's not worth what your Geo is worth, but that's more a matter of opinion to the person making the deal.

If you end up needing it, I have an HF head in the barn.
