does anyone believe that some dealership out in la is selling a clean type r for 32 thousand ? i believe that is freaking insane... or is it supposed to be that much

 

No, not unless a new Honda Type-R from japan. I think original MSRP was like 17k. what year is it?

 

no i think it was more between 21-23ish but still 32 grand hahah

 

well its a 97 i believe and on the window it said 7 thousand be he said thats just the down payment i was like wtf!

 

HELL NOOOOOO!!!

 

msrp for a new ITR from the dealer was around 25k. I almost bought one back in 97 but got station in japan so decided against it.

 

ahh so does anyone know any legal way to get the price down lol!

No, because it's not illegal to put a high asking price on a used car. Depending upon how clean the car is, it's even possible that someone might come along and buy it for that much. I sure wouldn't, but stranger things have happened.

Plus, it's an Arrrrrrrr.....

 

Its not worth $32k now, but id bet it will be in years to come.

 

theyre gonna have a hard time selling that, im pretty sure there are CLEAN ares around for like 17 grand.

 

Call and ask why its so high, maybe it comes with an extra bottle of Vtec fluid, its getting pricy now that gas is going up.

Personally I wouldnt really want a 97 model, however there are very very few "clean" Type Rs left. I would put money that the majority (over 50%) have been wrecked or modded in some way or form. Possibly put back to stock, but I've seen way to many ITRs with the JDM fronts and very few were made.

 

that does seem extremely high... of course we know nothing about the car.. Miles? Condition?? Maybe its MINT one owner, stock, clean title, with 1,000 miles.. Then its worth 32.... But realistically.. if it is super mint, someone might pay that, but its not likely.

 

well idk ill post back tomorrow after i go investigate this high priced beast but until then good luck to you ht memebers!

 

Its not worth that much

 

32 thousand? Thats just as bad as the dealers selling used cars with 70% apr, and I'm sure theres someone willing to pay that much for a type r.

 

Not too long ago there was a 97 Type R for sale with 800 orginal miles on it and it went for $26k so $30k is possible if the caR would have no miles on it.

Pretty sure I know who bought that.. and it had like 3 thousand miles? on it I think. unless your takling about a different one, but i doubt it.

 

ok well i talked to the guy today and i checked it out, it has 60 thousand miles on it and its ver very clean , no accidents and for the most part it was always garaged , the engine bay looks like it was well mainttained i didnt get a chance to snap any pics because it was raining but i will sometimes next week

 

would you seriosuly buy a 10 year old car with 1000 miles? imagine how much sitting around that must have done. i bet anything everythings dried up and its not worth running anymore.

 

Who in their right mind would buy a type r for $30K. I guess some people still believe the type R is the most advanced and powerful car ever made. (they also think the GSR is)

 

32,000? please

you can get alot nicer cars for that much

23,000 would be better but still pushing it

Power and technology doesnt say everything about a cars value. An ITR at the moment sure as hell doesnt cost $30k though even in mint condition. People are just going to have to keep it in the garage and years down the road well see what its worth.

 

exactly

 

Wow. That is insane and overpriced.
