After almost 5 years of wanting a Type R I finally broke down and got one. I bought 00-1390 off of ebay a little over a month and a half ago. Dependable Auto Shippers finally got it here after a long delay. Their 14 day ETA was pushed to 17 days and when I called on day 12 was told it would not arrive by day 17. Damn it. It was shipped day 18 and arrived on this last weekend. about 3 and a half weeks. I'm calling tomorrow to et some money back. (They said I could when it arrived.) If they try to stiff me I will file a complaint with Visa.

Ok, yes. I bought it off eBay and took a risk. But let me tell you, it looks, runs, and drives just as good as the pictures look.

I have driven a couple Type R's, but nothing compares to owning your own. I love that it is all stock, so I can choose all the mods.

I got lucky, and it was in good shape. What do you guys (and gals) think?

despite it saying its kinda high mileage, it looks sweet! Congrats with the buy and keep her in good shape

 

Cool, and I think the owner at one time was on this forum too.

Good luck and invest as much as you can in security, especially on the west coast

 

So ya gonna drive that bitch to the EXPO?

If not GTFO!!!

 

so about 11k 0r so with shipping, not bad. High miles but looks to be in great shape. GL with her

 

thats not a bad deal at all...considering the mileage...the thing couldnt have been beaten on all that badly

the owner wouldnt have had time to

commuter cars

if the motor goes you can always purchase a new motor!

yeah seriously...

 

Ya, I was disappointed about the milage, but considering the price, I had to do it. I just can't afford a 17,000 car right now. My dad's an ASE Master Mechanic so I got the hookup on labor. It ended up being $1175 for shipping and after taxes it was like 12,200. It books out here for like 14,300 I think WITH high miles. It runs great though. I don't know if you read the auction, but the first owner took real good care of it. It looks and feels like it too.

 

If the car was under good maintenance, I think the motor and tranny will last you another 80k miles.

Good luck with the new ride.

 

Nice pic up, congrats

 

looks to be in great condition, congrats ! the hell with the mileage, as mentioned if whats in the bay was taken care of as well as the interior/exterior you wont be worried about anything for awhile.

 

Nice car, high miles.

 

you will love that car to death,

congrats

 

another black ITR. Congrats

 

Nice!
I've been wanting an R more and more, too, but I don't have a garage. So there's no way in hell I'd park the R on the road.

Good luck with it!

 

keep her safe.

 

Good deal man
