Given the scarity and the condition I think no. But then again the price is all relative.

If the condition is fine which it seems like in the pics, I think it was worth it.

If you are happy with it, and if goes like stink, then you didn't pay too much for it.

Look at it this way, you may have paid a little more, but look how clean, and at the very low mileage your R has. Practically, a new R and it's CW... Nicey nice.... Wanna trade a 2000 MR mint Civic Si for your R??

Would any body believe that I paid $12,000 for my 98 R with 48Kmi?

Yes, the car was a turd, it is a theft recovery with a salvage title. It was about 90% repaired when I bought it. It just needed a good home! I have restored it to its former glory and have about 15,000 in it now. It is now serving me well as a track mule.
