Are you keen to spend $50K on a hot Honda but just can’t wait for the new Civic Type R to arrive?

Good news, we’ve found just the car for you. An as-new Honda CRX is currently for sale in Queensland with a price tag of – are you sitting down? – $49,500.

It’s been a strange time for new-old Hondas recently, with a NSW dealer selling a brand new S2000 last November, which resulted in Honda Australia recording an S2000 sale eight years after the car was discontinued.

Having spent the majority of its quarter-century on this planet under a car cover, the car is in show condition, with the seller claiming it even retains that all-important “new car smell”.

Then again, in today’s money that equates to around $55,000, and whereas back in 1992 you could’ve bought any number of brand-new CRXs, in 2016 if you want one this is likely to be your only chance.
