I just sold my 00 gsr and I've wanted a Type R for years, and while I'm still young and have the chance to own one I would like to take advantage of it. But at the same time I look at prices of 01's with low mileage and I look at the new 07 Si. I lean more towards the Si because it is less likly to be stolen, and it is a brand new car for around the same price of the lower mileage R. At the same time, a Type R is a Type R the limited production, performance and all the other good stuff in it's claim to fame.

What I'm saying is I can't make up my mind and I would just like some opinions from fellow R owners as far as theft and buying a used one as to going and buying a brand new Si or Type S

 

Get the Si.

 

If you aren't going to track it. I mean, seriously put it on a road corse and drive heR rough.

Get the si. you'll be more happy.

Just my $.02

 

Honestly, if I had to choose between an Si or an R to drive daily and tune... I'd have the new Si.

The Type-R's a great car though, I love mine.

 

haha damn i was kinda lookin for the R owners to steer me into the R direction im honeslty shocked at the response so far

 

seriously why are u asking others for their opinions?If your buying a car buy what YOU want dont ask others to change your mind,Pick what U want

 

Nothing beats a new car.

 

you've got all the time in the world to go and buy a new car


Type-R's won't be around for much longer, i'd buy one and enjoy it while they're still with us

 

test drive both and see how you like em...

im rocking my ITR as a DD and it's fine...worse comes to worse you can sell the ITR if you dont like it, there will never be a decrease in people who want to own one...

 

OT: how much did you get for your 00 GSR and what was done to it? i'm trying to sell mine right now and am just curious as to what you got

 

Drive both... but let me tell you right now.... Get the R.

 

Also think about resale value. ITR value is staying steady, if not climbing. With a new car, the value drops the second you buy it. The ITR is a better choice for feeling safe about the option of selling incase you run into financial problems. New cars are sooooooo nice, though.

It's all up to you, man. Keep us informed.

 

^ Exactly... you know if you buy an R and later find out that its not for you.. you will have no problem selling it for what you paid if not make some money. Buy a new civic and 5 grand down the tubes as soon as you drive it off the lot.
