What are the plans for you guys? Planning to sell it down the road?? Or the car will forever remain in your garage?? Having owed a FF (civic hybrid) for over 4 years now, i would want to try other things (FR, 4WD) but i have driven the ITR alot and i love the car!!! Just want to know the thoughts of ITR owners.

 

I will keep this car until it gets wrecked or stolen. Otherwise it will be with me for LIFE.

keep it for a good long time.

Now-daily driver
Soon- less practical daily driver
later- track ****

 

I am going to try to keep mine. I've been through a lot of **** with it and it is very personal to me. It may end up being a collector's item in a decade or two. It is basically the pinnacle of FF performance...the new CTR and ITR are not any better.

 

I'll probably keep it at least as long as I've owned my NSX, which I bought in 1990.

 

My thoughts exactly. Maybe after I gradauate in a year or two I can buy something better than an average beater for the winter so i wont feel so bad about driving a beater in the summer. Save some miles off the R.

In other words, a VERY long time

 

ITR fo lyfe!

 

woohoo fosho type R fo life *SMILEZ*

 

 

 

Now that there's no carpet, panels, console, and holes pre-drilled from/for a 6-point cage, she's not going anywhere

who hopes to have the R "track ready" for the expo

 

She is a keeper. With all the sweat and blood (literally) that I have put in the car I will certainly not let somebody else enjoy the fruit of my labor.
And I will defend her honor with ferocity ( that's for all the thieves out there).

 

The ITR is without question the greatest car I've ever owned and it would be exceptionally foolish and bring me great sorrow to get rid of it anytime soon! It's definitely a keeper!!!

 

Depends on the resale value when its paid off. If I can get $20,000 for it after my last payment, and I could get the 1998 $100,000 Porsche 911 400hp, twin turbo for around $40,000. hmmm......

 

I will keep it to my son

 

Thought about it before and don't think I will be getting rid of it any time soon. It hasn't given me any reason to get rid of her (ITR). I love my ride....

 

Being such a car lover I'd like to experience many other cars, which I can't afford unless I sell the R. I don't foresee that happening anytime soon, but probably eventually. Just want to be realistic .. there are lots of other cars with character. Variety is the spice of life! I'd be interested to see what everyone's opinion is in five years .. I think you'd probably be surprised

 

Id like to think that I can keep it... But I might be selling it in favor of an NSX sometime in the near future.

 

My is slowly becoming a track *****. So its a keeper. Until it gets wrecked or stolen

Keeping it!!! I have test driven a lot of cars out there, some with much better quality, like BMW, but the raw edge and uniqueness of the Type R is hard to come by. I personally have not found the car I really would want to have without wanting the Type R back. I have noticed people who have sold the R have regretted it. If I could have my 98 Driver's Edition GTI back with modern VW quality, that would be ideal. I do miss the torque, but the R is here to stay unless stolen or damaged. Then I will have to suffer finding something else. For now, it gets "the good stuff". Mugen, etc.

 

My R will be with me for a very, very long time...

 

When I bought it, I thought I'd keep it forever, but now I'm thinking of selling.

 

By age 40, this is what I want in my garage. Nothing more, nothing less.

'87 Buick GNX 1 of 547
'00 ITR FBP (current car)
'97-'01 CW ITR (Canadian would be nice, this ITR will be ALL stock and mint)
'02 E46 M3 (any color except PY)

and of course two decent daily drivers for my wife and I.

I'm 27 now and I already have one of those cars. I've 13 years and about $120K to go. ITR is the pinnacle of FF performance by far, destined for collectible status.

 

Do you think they could burri (sp?) me in it? cause thats how long I plan on keeping it, scince No children are in the plans yet...

 

There are VERY few cars (regardless of price) that I would give my Type R up for. Unfortunately, like many of you, I don't have the means to keep the ITR and purchase another great car simultaneously.
