So ive been in the market for an integra for about 1-2 weeks now...ive seen close to about 15-20 different integras...most of them have been in an accident (some claim they havent..but when i checked the body panel they have been replaced) and some just ran like ***...So far ive found two that i really like..and the two are:

(used dealership) 1997 124k miles 4dr integra...body wise looks good..some minor flaws...engine runs perfect...however when i inspected the engine..seemed like there may have been a gasket leak on the valve cover...but thas been fixed...ive heard this is sometimes typical of a honda/acura...the used dealership wants 6100 out the door + (optional) 775 ( 3 year unlimited miles on drive train)

(private seller) 1998 2dr integra gsr w/ 115k...body seems pretty good..owner admit that he got hit from the rear but everything was fixed...engine runs pretty good...he wants 6500...hes also willing to let me have a mechanic look at it or go through a diagnostic check by an acura dealer

with that said in mind...which one do u think i should get..my max budget is 6700 so its kinda hard to find the perfect one...also is there anything i should look for or listen to when goin back for a final inspection before i decide?

any help will be appreciated..thanks

 

what do you want?
a coupe or 4 door?
A gsr or an ls?

it just depends on what you want.
Dont settle for something that may be something you dont exactly want just because its more convenient.

 

id go for the first on and get the waranty no question about that one

 

GSR for Vtec Yo! When you do your final inspection listen for that Vtec and make sure it works! LOL. J/K. No really, get the GSR, you wont be disappointed. Plus it has less miles, as long are there wasnt any frame damage to the rear and its a clean title, then your good. Also keep in mind that your going to have to register the car yourself and tax and registartion is going to be more than the $200 you'll have left over. Also ask the seller how nad the accident was and what was repaired and have him point it out to you.

 

as far as style is concerned...it really doesnt matter too much..a modiified 4 dr is a rare sight..which is good..to have something somewhat unique...but a gsr is hard to find as well...so both of them are a plus since the price is pretty decent and body is in excellent condition.

Can anyone tell me what i should look for in each of the car...to make sure there is nothing wrong with the engine and so forth

 

u wouldent regret the gsr... take it to everyone u kno n find out everything that is wrong... find out what the two cars will need soon, tires? brakes? oilchange? woudl they pass inspection?

 

ummmm yeah im gonna say def the gsr...

without coming off like a dick, the GSR def will fit your budget with the actual car and minor mods... suspension IHE and call it a day... thats all you really need for a teg... its a fun car to drive and ull enjoy it a lot better than the LS 4 dr... girls love the GSR's... it makes there panties fly right off...

 

Go with the fo-doe GSR baby!!!!!!!!!

Everybody has 2 dr's... 4 drs are a lil more rare Plus, the extra room to carry pple/stuff is great.

i think the 4 dr is just an LS...

 

yeah the 4 door is an ls and the 2 dr is a gsr

 

def go for the gsr. For the extra $400 go for it. I also really dont like buying from used car-dealerships cause they always overprice their cars(gotta make profit somehow). You will not regret getting the vtec

 

i would go for the 1st one with the warranty. Last thing u need is to replace a 2000+ gsr engine.

 

the warranty is what catches me...lol...i was thinkin about getting an edelbrock turbo kit (50 state legal and passes smog) ...but turns out they only make it for the gsr and none for the ls

 

the warrenty does give u that peace of mind... but how long will you have the car... what are the purposes for it ie: track, dd, street car? plus ull have the cahnce to take it and get it checked out which is a nice feature...

you will have more fun in the GSR... but it is ur call... let us no what you decide on...

ohh and btw uve only been in the market for 1-2 weeks... ive been in the market for a S2K for about 3 months now... you just got to wait for the right one... ohh and it migh be a good idea to either go on carfax.com or no someone that has an account and check out the cars before you even look at them... itll help a lot

 

you shouldn't spend anything close to your full budget... cars will often have things that need replacing soon and when you buy a new car, changing all your fluids is smart and will cost you about 100. I'd go the the GSR because you'll be missing that extra 30 hp very quickly... there is a reason 2dr integras are more popular, theyre sportier looking and feeling.

 

i say got with the 2dr gsr..... youll love the vtec

 

well i finally checked out the gsr one more time..and ive decided that im goin to go ahead and pick up the gsr...in my opinion i think its flawless and the guy has his maintence records and everything

 

I would have to go with the private seller. Personal choice....Although the warranty is a good deal...

 

VTACK FTW!

 

I kinda like my 4 door gsr. Heavy little bitch though. Weighed in at 2820 half tank gas without me in it.
Completely stock.

I think you'll like the gsr and my integra gsr 4 door is cheaper to insure than my 91 accord wagon.

94 gsr 168.00 every six months
91 accord wagon 193.00 every six months
92 hatch cx 118.00 every six months

Insurance is another thing you want to look at with buying a sportier car.

 

GSR FTW!!!!!!!

YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!
