Default MINT 01 PY Type R For sale on Ebay.

The starting price for this Type R seems really cheap for how mint this car is with these low miles. I already have a Type R but like to look at others for sale just to look and this seems odd and could be a scam at this low price.

That is a really nice R and I did see it on eBay few days ago.

By the way, low starting pirce means nothing because it is a reserve auction and it is 100% legit

<<-- have been on eBay since 2000 and knows how to tell a real deal from a scam.

If your serious about buying a MINT low mileage R, I have contact to a guy who is selling a 98 with only 22k miles I believe all stock except remote entry from a GSR

LOL, jus tbe happy you have a low mileage MINT R they are getting harder and harder to find. It took me several months to find my current R as well and I had to have it shipped from Chicago to Washington.

Agreed, plus there are a few for sale right now you just need to find them

I just asked the seller some questions and here are his responses:

Hi -- thanks for asking. I don't mind the questions. I'm the 3rd owner. The first two pretty much just parked the car in their garages. I do drive it fairly routinely. it's fun and attracts a lot of looks and nods. No body work since i've had it 3 yrs ago, 25K miles ago. It has been in the rain...not really in the snow -- we don't get much, and I have a 4x4 for that. I use mobil 1...typically change around 3k miles. Manual trans -- no trans fluid...gearbox fluid is still the original Honda fluid. Tires are Kuhmo's...all-season, but also high-performance. Seats are clean - no spills, stains, discolorations, etc. Paint is very clean, only 2 very minor nicks (1 small rock chip on the front, and 1 faint scratch on the wing). It's a very nice car --

Low mileage R's are priced accordingly... you got to pay up for the good stuff. Really not THAT tough to look... just may take a few months, lots of them out there.

Yeah that sounds right. There was a post awhile back where someone ran all the itr vins and it was around that number.

I think its just the angle of the pic. Looks like a stock IM to me.
