They were only sold in Canada for 2 years, '92 and '93. The one for $2200 has 164k Miles, it's the only one I'd buy. The rest are junk, but it just goes to show these things are out there. Any old car is only worth one amount - whatever someone will pay for it. And sure enough when you go to sell something, the people that say "Wow that thing sure is rare, it's worth a lot!" are always the ones that don't have any money. Luckily for most of us on this board, the kinds of cars we see as rare are generally not too well known to the general public. We see a VX and get excited that it has stock wheels, where as pretty much anyone else looking at a 20 year old Honda will be like "Aww, it's not an automatic" or "What, no CD player??" This will change the next time gas prices spike, then you start seeing 3 cylinder Metros for big money on ebay, just like last time. But now is the time to buy them, when gas prices aren't the first thing on everyones mind. Hell, both of my Insights got traded in at dealerships on new cars - again, we see them as a rare car, but the people that own them might not, to them its just a weird old Honda ha ha
