Of course, the inside must look like a dealership with our own show cars, and a large portion of the annual fee will go to hiring a smokin hot receptionist for the front desk.

Then if there's a garage there, all members have access to the workspace and lifts...

..... too bad we don't have 3.6Million.

I have considered something like that a few times, but i dont think we can get the $$$ to keep the lights on! ROFL

hmm.. i wonder if its 3.6 mill just the way it sits, WITH the cars and everything in it.. That'd be worth it IMO

Showroom is now empty

Drove past there last evening...Looks like the dealer finally sold the lot and the cars. No cars inside. Place looks vacant.

We all bugged him too much.... Wonder I he got his asking or if he just kept them somewhere else

I was by there a month or so ago...empty is right...though there were still a couple old cars outside.

I worked for citation bmw during the 80s this dealership once was a alfa dealership, one of ontario,s first hyundia dealerships also , the 6 in the showroom was there when i worked there, most likely the 535i also,as well as the motorcycle parked up against the back wall , all new. the dealership is much more than it appears , it has a full underground parking area and a very good size living area up stairs ,it is currently for sale , the owner is still alive and doen,t have any other dealerships in ontario.

Wish there was a Honda dealer like this, with brand new CRX's in it.

On that note, I Know of a 267 mile like new CRX in the U.S. that Im waiting for the owner to sell to me.

That CRX looks fantastic. Beautiful. Hope the owner sells it to you... hate to think about what you're going to pay though!

Someone doesn't know much about Hondas... in the future CRXs will prove to be quite valuable. They, along with the 2nd gen Integras, were the pioneers of the import tuning scene in North America.

^ i will admit honda virgin...why will CRX prove to be valueable in the future? that big of a market?

Well in the early 90s they were quick shit. A lot of guys still look back fondly on them. They were rarer than just a standard civic hatch or sedan. Not that rare, but SO many of them are now completely rusted out and in scrap yards. Not to mention the thousands that had the original motors swapped out, or were riced out to death when everyone was obsessed with Lamborghini doors and wings west body kits. They're light and handle great. They got a lot of people into the Honda/import scene.

Now to find a clean "survivor" is about $4000. I think this will only continue to go up.
