New flip

2001 Honda CRV AWD AUTO 189k


I bought it. The trans case is cracked. There's no trans fluid. It slips really badly. What little fluid there is, is black. Got it for $1200. This car is loaded. Power everything and keyless with two keys.

Those CR-Vs were pretty slick little trucklets back when they were new.  We sold a shitload of them at the Honda dealer I worked at back in the late 1990s.  The chrome bars underneath were a rare-ish dealer add-on.  Oh, and on the EX models, you can fold the front and back seats flat to make a bed.  That, and the folding picnic table in the back were huge selling points!  Autos felt a little sluggish but the manuals did okay if you kept the revs up.

This should be a pretty easy sell once you get it all fixed up.

Yeah, they're slow but nice. My friend flipped a 1998 with 300k about a month and a half ago. I paid the same amount for this as he did his , but mine is three years newer, more options, and 100k fewer miles and better shape cosmetically.

This is a 2nd owner car, and the guy is a HS english teacher who got fed up and bought a Forester.


He'd has it 10 years

[hotrodalex]

A guy I went to high school got one of those this month. Put some larger wheels on it and it actually looks sweet.

[CALL_911]

What if you kept it and sold the Yaris? I've always liked those CR-Vs

CRV gets like 2/3's the fuel economy and has double the miles.


No thanks

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

I've never seen one with those bars on it! How much do you think you can sell it for?

[2o6]

maybe 5k

[MrH]

Good find. That's got some serious flip potential.

Got a list yet of what it needs?

Lol, a guy I'm following on Twitter is renting a Yaris and keeps tweeting about it. All I can think of is Kevin's Yaris

The guy seems a bit clueless about cars. He's already replaced it with a two-generation old gently-used Forester. His wife drives a previous gen Pilot.


Somehow, it lost trans fluid. I checked the dipstick and there's no trans fluid reading. Stuck the dipstick in, and what little fluid registered on the stick is burnt black. The car moves, albeit slips pretty badly. Going to put some Honda trans fluid and limp it back to Columbus.

Worst comes to worst and the trans is out, it's $600 for a junkyard trans.

KBB puts this at $4800, so I think listing for $5500 ish is pretty well.

Rofl.  I saw a legit Yaris clique on I-90.  6 Yaris sedans all with old men driving and YARIS across the back windows in big white letters.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

I didn't think anyone used KBB other than car dealers due to the grossly inflated retail prices. Of course when it comes time to trade a car in at said dealer than KBB trade in is NOT an industry standard.

Real private party CL listings put it arond that price. My friend sold his old one with 300K for about $3200.

[2o6]

I limped it home.


CEL is on. Code for "Incorrect Gear Ratio". The transmission is pretty much only using what gears work....2nd ish and 3rd and 4th? It slips pretty bad, and either slams or slips in 1st? and 2nd. It did OK at 70-80MPH. Cruise works. Tracks straight and true with no vibration. Runs amazing.



So, it's looking like it needs a


- Transmission $600

- Timing Belt $150?


This right here?



That's the crack in the trans case that has a hole. Some dumbass JB Welded it, but of course it sort of leaked out eventually, then burned up all the clutches.


I asked, and he says he used to "do a little off roading" in the CR-V. I think he was stupid and hit a rock and tore a hole in the trans case.

It looks good.  Kudos on your gusto.

[2o6]

I've already got a buyer for the CRV that hasn't been started on. I need to start work on it ASAP



New flip though.


1998 accord coupe v6 auto. (168k) It's a friend of a friend who's a damn loser drug head. The car had been sitting for a solid two months because he lost his license and then impound for another month. He said if I paid his impound fees ($870) I could have the car cause he's broke as fuck.

Good - two brand new tires. V6 is good (although it had no oil, but the guy is a fuck face and the oil change light is on). Trans is perfect, which is kind of rare.

The bad - it's cosmetically pretty bad, (not as bad as my very first flip; the olds 88) and it has a weird surging idle. Idk why, might be due to the fact the gas is old as heck. It needs a mirror and a tire. And a window regulator.


It's also fucking disgusting inside

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

SMH! How can someone ride around in a car that filthy!!!

[MrH]

Just a thought:  If you're going to keep doing this, might want to consider a steam cleaner.  I have one I got for about $80-$90 on Amazon.  I've helped clean up cars that my friend flips, and it works really well.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

I've been eying this one for months.

[MrH]

This is the one I bought.  I think it was $80 on sale awhile back.

[2o6]

The carpet is ruined, but I have put some fucking LOVE in this car.







Junkyard mirror was $65. That's expensive. And the power mirror is fine and the glass was unbroken.

I epoxy'ed that shit back into place




How it looked when I started

[hotrodalex]

I wouldn't have been able to touch that thing without a hazmat suit on.

They sold you a car with garbage in it?
