thanks a ton

 

Car looks great As long as its a clean title thats quite a good deal.

 

its a theft recovery title. it is not his daily driver either. so everything is mint.

 

I'd offer him $12,000... it really looks mint.

The problem your going to face though is registering it with the rebuilt title. He's registered it in WA, so if you were in WA there would be no problem, but you're not.

I know that when I registered my rebuilt title R, the first thing they said at the DMV when I showed them the CT title (I'm from NY) was "Your going to have to get the car a special inspection at the salvage department". Luckily the car was rebuilt and inspected in NY prior to CT, so it had a registerable title in both states, but if that wasnt the case, I would have had to deal with the more rigourous inspection they do for salvage title cars (which it would have failed miserable due to problems I'm still fixing).

Anyways, check with you local DMV for sure before you drop a dime on it.

 

damn that looks clean man

thats about 20k australian dollars

cheap too!!!!!

Only thing with that is it could be harder to sell when you want to get rid of it.

You also have to make sure everything on it is Type-R stuff. When our cars get stolen, the drivetrain is almost always gone along with the suspension, and brakes sometimes.

Make sure to carfax the engines vin along with the cars vin.

Personally I would find another 1-2k and get a type-r with clean title.

 

looks great except the title

The CW with gunmetal rims is aweso......I mean it would be better if it was PY..uhh yeahh...

 

because of the title, i would only pay about 10k for that car

i have dealt with trying to sell theft recovery cars before

it sucks

 

ok well i looked at it and the car is mint. the body is perfect, no rock chips, the interior is like it rolled of the show room floor. it runs strong, and the guy said the lowest he would go is 12500.. what would you guys recomend?

 

im from wa too... i see every R is all theift recovery i thikn there are a few that has not been hit..

 

Has a JDM valvecover tooo

 

this car is clean as hell. i will offer 12 and probably spend 12.5. i dont plan on selling it anytime soon so it shouldnt be a big deal really. thanks for all your guys help

ht is awesome

 

Very nice.....

 

I think it would be worth the headaches of salvage title status. $12500 is a great deal if it hasn't been raped.

The only red flag is that the cams have been replaced, but I guess the theives nabbed those perhaps.

How's the interior? Is it complete?

 

the car has all oem 2001 type r interior, suspension, brakes, wheels, engine, etc... when he got it, it was just a shell. he has all receipts of everything.. the car is awesome.. pretty fast also
