Price seems about right if it's in decent shape and runs good. It's hard to say as it varies from place to place.

get more information on the car. service records, ect. talk to the seller as well and get a feel for how well or not so well he knows his car. if he tries to give the run around "oil changed every 3k miles and coolant and tranny flush every "x,xxx" mies... probly not a honest seller IMO.

If it's been treated right then 133k isn't a big deal. If you do find a car that has been kept up well and in good running order you better hang onto it as they are getting harder to find.

Its a good buy, just make sure it doesn't smoke or anything before purchasing.

It sounds like you already know what you're getting yourself into, but you want some back-up in the decision...lol i'm often the same way...any chance you could post some pictures of the potential buy?

I'd buy it. You won't find many GSRs with under 100k. They stopped making them in 2001 obviously. I've seen some RSX type-s at well over 100k.

If you're planning on modding and racing, just be prepared to fix things. If you're just daily driving it should last quite a while with regular maintenance.
