One will be the "good" one, one will be the "bad" one, just a little backwards.

Seems to me that they are more rare in the US than in Canada. They have a population 10 times greater than us, but we got more than 1/10 of the production runs. Anyway, i'm all for finding out conclusively how many of each year were brought to North America.

One other thing that you might do, if you've got a good relationship with the bank, is have them call the local dealers and talk the the sales managers.
When I was buying mine, my banker talked to the dealers, who told her they'd pay about 13 for a mint 98. I laughed at her and said 'sure, but they'll turn around and sell it for 18/19!'. She called some more dealers and talked to more knowledgeable people. From that she realized that the car really is worth more than a plain GSR.
When you're talking about pricing an ITR, you've also got to consider the history of it. Does the car include a mis-match of aftermarket parts, or was it a well thought out and well financed modification path. Was the car abused and raced on the street, or was it well maintained and tracked during open lapping days at the local course. Or, the most sacred ITR of all, did my grandmother own it?
Personally, I'd rather buy my ITR from someone I knew, that drove it really hard, but also maintained the car to a 't'. Since I was able to find a car like this, I was more comfortable paying a little extra for mine, rather than buying one from someone I didn't know.
Happy Hunting.

1. Go to http://www.autotrader.com
2. Enter your zip code and click on "find used cars".
3. Click on the "Advanced Search" tab.
4. Do a search as follows:
Make: Acura
Model: Integra
Color: White
From year: 1997
To year: 1998
Distance: Any Distance
You'll then get back a list of around 70 or so white '97-98 Integras for sale. You'll have to go through the list to figure out which ones are actually ITRs, since some other Integra models were also available in white those years. (You can do a "find" for each occurrence of the word "Type" on the page. Not every occurrence of "type" means an ITR, but it makes them easier to find.)
If you're on some other website and they offer a keyword search, you can search for listings containing the word "Type", and narrow it down to mostly ITRs. Unfortunately, Autotrader doesn't offer this feature in its search algorithm.
Note that if you do a search on Autotrader for 2000-2001 yellow Integras, all 27 listings that come back are ITRs (from $13,500 to $27,000).

Pricing is even better for a bone stock car than a highly modified one, even one which any particular individual might consider to be well thought out. It is extremely difficult to get ANY upward adjustment in a settlement for the mods on a car. That's because it's often extremely difficult to sell a highly modified car for all that much more than a similar, bone stock car.
Sure, if you're interested in a particular set of mods, you might be willing to pay more for a car that has them - just like you might be willing to pay more buying from some old guy (like George or me, if you didn't know that we tracked ours ). But insurance companies don't tend to take such subjective factors into account.
P.S. I own page 3.
