i found a 1997 type r with 53,000 miles, completely stock and excellent condition overall. The seller wants 17,000 for it, i looked at KBB and it doesnt list a price for it.

Anyone think that it is worth it?

 

for a 97, bone stock with that low of miles, that price seems to be a bit too high. I would of thought it be around 16g's. but what do i know, 97's have a really high markup.

 

yeah, unfortunately, the seller seems firm on the price, but i just wanted to get some second opinions on it

 

it should probably go in the 14-15k range... depending on the exact condition

 

but then again, it's a 97 and has reeeeally low miles...

That is what I was thinking....though he can ask a premium if it's a virgin 97. You and I both know how rare they are getting.

 

Id say 16 to 17.

VVV Not if thats the case though VVV

If it's the same '97 that's in the h-t marketplace, yeah it's clean and the seller seems firm on the price. If it was completely mint I'd pay $17k, but the one fender has been replaced or repainted so it's missing the VIN tag on it, and there's the unfortunate mileage discrepency with the inspection. Again, that's if we're talking about the same car.

It depends on how much you like that example. They are definitely becoming more scarce.

 

I would pay top dollar for any virgin CW. 97 or 98.

The value is in the eye of the seller and buyer.

Funny you say that. I had a conversation with a friend about this the other day. My next ITR will be a virgin that I'm willing to pay 20k + for it if it's pristine. I know the value of the car will have gone down by then but it's not about getting a used one at a great deal. It's about finding the one. It won't be daily driven, it'll just come out randomly for track days and sun. The next one is going to be more of a trophy I present myself after I get out of school. Kind of like a second diploma

I know it sounds stupid but I just feel so stronly about these cars and what they mean to their owners.

well heres all the original parts

I promise you wont be disappointed if to take a look at thie car
I had guy regreting buying his 05 S2000 after taking a look at this 97 ITR

 

If the condition is perfect, 17 is reasonable. The mileage seems real low for a 97. Carfax it. If everything checks out good, you might want to make a move...supply and demand. How many clean virgin ITRs are out there?

 

FWIW, not being a dick but I wouldn't pay 17k for any R that has had any type of internal work done. I consider cam gears internal work because of what goes along with them.

well..considering that those AEM stuff was FREEEEEE....my friend installed those back then....

 

So the question arises. Not dissing ITR908 in any way, but does 'The Virgin' 97 really exist? /

I'm the sixth owner of mine so we know mine has been a ****.

 

dude..you guys donno how hard it is to take care of 2 ******!!!

 

I'm not picking on your caR. I'm just saying that for me, what you have is already too much to rationalize paying for. There's definately someone willing to by your caR. You just have to be patient.

 

get those babies in a garage yo!

 

yea...both are garaged!!!! thats my parents place....
heres a pic of me purchasing the 97 from my 42 yr old friend...

 

lol, funny you mention his age to stress the "adult driven" part. but seems trustworthy

 

... I would love to keep the 97 as well but having 2 ITR's = a big headache...I only bought it since my friend was in a rush to move+wife made him sell , plus I want it to go to a nice home....

 

ITR908:

Is that other car RHD? Or is it a USDM 98?
