what you guys think of this, just found it browsing craigslist

http://maine.craigslist.org/cto/2049783683.html

 

seems legit enough. did quick google search, none of those pics came up. and if he was trying to scam, he'd be selling for 4k or something.

 

18 grand for a itr i think that is a rip off.

 

IIRC that guy lives in manchester, worked for the Honda dealer there. Saw it in person once and it looked real nice.

 

for the 1st year of production and JDM only? i'd say owning a piece of history = win.

 

i know its history, but come on, its ridiculous

 

yeah i have agree about the price, i think it is a bit steep and thisis coming from a fellow 96 jdm itr owner

 

Money better spent on this one?

^^^^I hear you, I mean if u have the money go for it, But with that price u can rebuild a nice civic/teg or what ever and make it your own!!!!!!!!!

 

haha perhaps

 

i think its a bit expensive but definitely looks like a well kept car

 

It did look real nice in person

 

Actually there were itr's made in 95.

 

LOL @ JASMA exhaust.

And I wouldn't pay $5K for a RHD ITR. Well, maybe I would to part it out, but that's about it.

LHD USDM ITR though and it would be a different story.

 

I'd pay that for a '00 JDM ITRx, not a '96 spec though.

 

x2

 

an illegal car that can be had for 4k in japan. well, if you think it really would cost you 14k to get one over here, by all means

 

Totally not worth it. There's a local one here thats kind of registered going for 12k. Kid has been selling it for months with no bites.

 

i don't think they are worth more than 7-8k personally. they are an illegal car that's basically worth parts value.

front clip $4500
recaros $800-1000
big 4 suspension with bars $500
wheels $500

everything else >??

parts alone make them worth 6.5, so, over that is all up to the buyer

 

18k is asking a lot for a '96 spec but I think it's worth a little more then what everyone in here is saying. How is it an illegal car? Everyone I know with a JDM ITR has it legitimately registered and insured.

 

hmmm i haven't seen this car around? i live 30 mins from manchester and frequent the area...

I'd say 18k is steep for a 96' history or not.

 

Gray market is gray market, regardless of title-in-hand or insurance. As those cars stand now, if an EPA official ever had the motivation to crush said registered JDM ITR's, they could, and then put the bill for the crushing on the owners.

The NHTSA/EPA/DOT have never issued a document number for a Honda Integra (Type-R or otherwise). That means that every JDM ITR in the U.S. is by the letter of the law, illegal. Remember, Federal Law trumps State Law, so even if a car is titled through the state, it can still be Federally illegal.

The guy is probally just throwing a price out there knowing people on craigs list its the home of bargin shoppers. Id say he is looking for like 14k just over priced it so he has big window for dealing with those craig's list shoppers. either way i wish the guy best of luck just wondering if its really street legal I know it takes alot of BS to get those things legal. That may be why he is asking so much for it.

 

Read the post before your's.

There are no 100% legal JDM ITR's in the U.S.

There are a few State titled JDM ITR's around, this allows you to get a VIN and get insured, but there are no DOT/EPA/NHTSA approved JDM ITR's.

Federal Law > State Law.

 

Actually doesnt even get you a U.S. vin number. Its registered with the 10 digit japanese vin. Either way they're all illegal anyway, and the funny thing is that most people are clueless about that fact.
