man, I was just about to post this. If I bougth this car..I dont know if I would drive or let it sit. I mean..dang..its like that 3 year streak of no driving would be ruined and..seeing that 71 miles go away.
WTH am I talking about..that car was meant to be driven and beatin the shit out of! https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

Re: (ScaleExtric)
 

actually that is one car you could turn into a profitable investment, if you kept that car in that condition for another 7-10 years it would be worth a lot of money with only 71 original miles...

Re: (SOC EK9)
 

Has he taken care of it to store it properly for 3 years?

Re: (Floyd)
 

yeah, I would hope he at least started it up every once in a while and moved it around the garage a bit.

It's funny when you see something like this you start thinking "how can I justify two?" hehehe

Re: another chance to buy a *brand-new* R (picasso)
 

Nice deal for a brand new car. I would buy it if I had the opportunity.

Re: another chance to buy a *brand-new* R (acuracing)
 

That car is incredible. A great chance for anyone who's car was stolen or wrecked and they want another.

Re: another chance to buy a *brand-new* R (SoCal ITR)
 

Nice car, but I would not pay more than $24k for it.. http://images.honda-tech.com/set1//smile/emcrook.gif

Re: another chance to buy a *brand-new* R (picasso)
 

What a waste of such a lovely car.... only 71 miles in 3 years, why did he bother buying it in the first place?! http://images.honda-tech.com/set1//smile/emcrook.gif https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emhammer.gif

Either way, I'm sure it'll be a nice buy for someone.... although you'd want to ensure that the car has been stored properly and parts not deteriorated from lack of use!! https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmileo.gif

Re: another chance to buy a *brand-new* R (00MRSi)
 

I think I know this Car. I think he Bought two originally and let one Set. Could this be the same car? Or is this another Low Milage Black ITR?


If I were finished paying for the Yellow one I'd get this one too. LOL

My goal is to have 3. A Black one, a Yellow one and a White one. Well that's for starters. Why couldn't this have happened 6 months from now???

Re: another chance to buy a *brand-new* R (Spoond TEG)
 

How much do you guys think this car will be worth in 20 years?

I was watching I think it was classic garage last night, and they were talking about some limited production car that came with a hemi. They said it was worth $600,000!!!

Re: another chance to buy a *brand-new* R (jond)
 

I think good Type-Rs will be worth a good chunk.

"Good":

-All OEM parts
-USDM front end
-original engine
-normal wear and tear, low miles
-no accidents
-original paint

This of course would make most of our Rs not as valuable, including mine. Even the JDM showpieces we all know and love will be less valuable plain-jane ITRs that don't even get a second look now.

Given how rare they were in the first place, and how many have been stolen/wrecked/recovered/rebuilt/JDM-fronted, it's going to get harder and harder to find something like what I described.

I don't think the ITR will be any different than the performance cars now on the show cicruits and classic markets.

Re: another chance to buy a *brand-new* R (Ross)
 

damn ...i can see buying a type R and rarely driving it ..hell i only drive mine on the weekend for maybe 50 miles or less ....

but to own it three years , and only 71 miles ...i bet its never seen Vtec .... https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emthdown.gif

someone needs to go pop that cherry

Re: another chance to buy a *brand-new* R (Ross)
 

I would agree about the "good" ITR's being worth alot of money in 10 years. That's one of the reasons i'm keeping all my OEM parts, cause maybe in 10-20 years i might just want to convert it back to stock. The '97's especially will fetch lots of money since they're so rare. The problem with mine is i can't keep from driving it so there's peobably gonna be like 2-300 thousand kilometres on it in 10-20 years, so it won't be worth too much, but it will still turn heads and win awards at old car shows. I wish i had the money to buy the black one as an investment, put a thousand or two kilometres on it per year and drive the shit outta my '97. Oh well maybe someday i'll be rich and be able to afford a really low-milage one in that 10-20 year span. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif
