Hi.

Is a 2000 Acura Integra Type R still good with ~114k miles?

I am interested in trading my 07 Acura TL Type S 6 speed (47k miles) for it + $$$.

How much $$$ should I ask on top?

 

Just check the nada price on both and ask for the difference.

 

what is the condition of the R? From the top of my head without seeing the car or knowing anything about it, i would say at least 7k

 

Okay because my car is worth 22,000 according to nada. I just nada'd the price for the R and it was only worth 7k for a "good" condition.

Also, is the Type R with ~114k miles still dependable?

 

trade in your car for cash then go buy it would be the best option.....

 

umm an R with 114,xxx is not worth 7k if its minty they go for 9-10k

 

honestly you didn't give us much to go off of to help you out. So based off your limited information:

Question: At 114K miles is it still dependable?
My first answer is: It's a Honda so typically 114K miles isn't a big deal assuming regular service has been done.
My second answer is: It depends on how it's been cared for (see bullet #1 below)

My advice would be:
1) Ask questions about the history of the car. Are there service records? Has it been modded? What is the current owner like?
2) Get a carfax
3) Test drive the car
4) Get a compression test/leak down test

As far as the price of an ITR, I agree with Rene1123 but it depends on the condition, if it's modded and history of the car. If it has a clear title, completely stock and with service records I could see someone paying a little more for it (11K-12K).

 

Yea make sure it has a clean title, that makes a huge difference in price. I would say it's more or less around $11k.

 

dude its still a honda. 114k is nothing. Dependable of course. Obvious there are many factors that play in to this like what was mentioned above.

 

How can I validate if it's a legitimate type r ?

 

vin should start with jh4dc231

 

Also check for 5 lug wheels, no sunroof and sides are smooth without door molding.

read everything here and you will know.

 

Any integra rs can be made to look like that

 

why trade the TL? just buy the ITR and have a killer DD

 

WRONG. The prices quoted by NADA (and KBB and Edmunds) are way off for low-volume cars like the ITR. If I could buy ITR's at the prices quoted there, I'd buy a dozen of them.

The $11-12K estimated stated above is reasonable.

 

keep the TL and buy the ITR also both ways you'll be happy!!

 

I agree! you will be happy OP.

 

IMHO you have to have a DD when owning an R. I DD'd an R for 3 yrs and I think my blood pressure shot through the roof during that span. Now I DD a POS and life is good
