It is a theft recovery and the thieves did not remove anything except the interior. they replaced the seats and door panels from another Type R with only 25,000 miles.The car does have a couple of door dings and scratches but is in excellent orignal condition and has never had any paint work.

F/S...2001 NBP ITR 35,000 miles FOR $13,000 (Title: Salvage )

 

i wonder why the title is salvaged, it dosent sound like it was a total loss, maybe something more to it???

It's my understanding that replacing the complete interior with new items from Acura parts dept. can run into thousands $$$ .. approaching 10 grand. Someone correct me if I'm off.

 

I'd buy it if I had the money.

Yep. Very, very expensive.

 

i would check the vin numbers on the motor, the fenders, every place were a number should be, if its missing any then tell the seller to shove it

 

I wouldnt buy it. Its missing the front lip!! How can u be sure its a real R without the front lip???

Great find. If its as good as it sounds im sure this thing will go quick.

 

it's located at Importautosalvage in Marion NC... they are very good company, if they say its a real type R it is

i know how much it cost, but i wouldnt total an ITR with just interior pieces missing, **** hungster's R if im not mistaken, had to been in a accident and had inetrior pieces stolen before the title was salvaged. also i am an adjuster and thats not a big enough reason for me to total a car

import auto salvage is a good place though

 

No you are wrong, insurance companies will total out or put a salvage title if the car has a $ total loss of so much. Type R seats front back, panels and everything is way over what we would pay. The insurance is not willing to lose money. It is cheaper for them to claim total loss and pay off the owner, then to replace the missing parts. It would of come up to at least 10g for them to replace the interior including labor. They want to make money not lose it.

 

Maybe it doesnt have to do with replacing seats at all? Owner finds his car missing so he calls cops and insurance company. 1 week goes by and the insurance company just pays him the value of the car and owner goes on merry way to buy another car.

When stolen car is found by cops its surrendered to the insurance adjuster on behalf of the company. They auction it off or sell to recoup losses of paying out to policy holder.

That sounds better to me...


Anyhoo that R looks like a nice car. Risk insurance company wanting to give you $5k because of the salvage title if it ever comes up stolen? Willint to take a $8k loss?

Much risky bizness...
Nice car though

 

I wish I had that type of luck

yeah that % is 70%, that is not 70% of the value of the car, once again I am a claims adjuster for an insurance company 10g's is a lot cheapier than 16k, i dunno who you work for but you guys lose a lot of money then


but out of whats stolen most i would say would be seats and door panels/gauge cluster (maybe)..IMO thats worth at max 5-7k

 

.....i'd hit it.

 

if i had the cash....

 

beautiful car man, can't wait to get mine fixed up

 

Hmmm...I may be driving to Marion this weekend...

Yeah, but now go include broken windows, wiring harness from it being cut, etc.

From what I recall, the ENTIRE ITR interior (by that I mean everything inside the car) is quite a bit over 10k.

It really depends on what was taken, but this wont be the first, nor the last, ITR totalled out for a missing interior.

 

I bought my 2001 ITR for only $1,000 more than that one, and mine has a clear title.

Of course I also bought it with twice the mileage...

 

yeah they do consider it a total loss without interior because interior is exspensive and hard to find, they do around here anyways

 

I'm a claim adjuster and in MA, if your interior is gone, it's considered total. Even if it's just the front and rear seats.

 

some insurance companies also consider a car a total loss if its missing for so many days. back in the day we used to buy IROC's with missing stereos from the salvage auction because they were missing more than 30 days.
