thats a total steal for a very clean 97 R

 

I sure hope this 97 goes to a loving, caring, and appreciating home.

 

Awesome deal there, GL with the sale, loving that last pic.

 

that used to be my neighbors old R, i remember when the twins came down from orlando in their old supra to look at it. that was the first type r i ever drove!!

 

That's a sick deal

Just the Canadian seats alone are worth $1500 more than the USDM seats


Good luck with sale

 

thank you for all the comments

Ridiculous caR

Sad to see it go. I hope it goes into great hands!

 

Canadian seats FTW. Didnt they only make a couple thousand of those?

 

Wow, I never thought I'd see this one come up for sale

Big props for bringing heR back to life. She looks great!

GL with the sale and hope she goes to a great home

They only sold 250 cars with those seats!

 

why are so many R's being put up for sale lately? just coincidence or domino effect?

yes i agree

 

You can't get rid of it! Gotta rep for "Team 97" LOL

I'll never forget the day the 97's dominated an ITR meet.

Good luck with the sale!

I know you'll be back.....

 

To anyone outside of WA state. I've seen this car personally and I feel the price is more than fair. Please believe.

 

You know interestingly i happened to be visiting a friend directly down the street from her the night that her car was stolen (Spring Break 04). I had no idea who she was, or that she even owned a Type R. I did not find this out until i returned home from Orlando, but how ironic eh?

 

Sounds like a great deal and looks clean from the photos!

 

noobish question, but I gotta ask. You said you put 2001 5 lug on there. Was there a difference in the suspension setup between USDM 97-2001?

 

 

Nice of you to add the little sales pitch (and pic) about the Barton twins there at the end...lol.

 

Bump for Silky J
