I am new to the car scene and before I buy a type r here in the the near future i9 would like some info and to learn more about the car.

Thanks for any info

 

first mod(s) an ITR should have. security and a smart owner.

 

..........Read this board and do searches.............

 

want to learn? keep visiting this forum for about 3 months. that should give you enough to wonder about for a while

 

Ya my friend told me that i shouldnt get a type r because they get stolen frequently but i think it would be a great car for the track.

 

Never listen to a thing I have to say. Im an idiot and very full of myself

Make sure you read my sig before you do anything or reply to anything I say.

 

i was also wondering how much a 00 itr would be with about 30,000 miles stock.. and about how much does insurance run on the r?

 

insurance is different for everyone. so asking people on here isn't really going to help.

That was the best laugh I'd had all day.
Believe me, I needed one.

On the lighter side the federal fiscal year has come to an end, and another starts tomorrow!

 

As for the theft, alot of that depends on where you live, but that's what insurance is for .... it's just a car, enjoy it while you have it...

Insurance cost can vary widely, but your ins co. should be more than happy to give you a quote. I have Progressive and they're very nice in indulging my questions.

Here's a '00 ITR, stock, w/ 34K mi for $22K, but I bet the seller is very open to price negotiations if you're seriously interested in buying ;-) :

Seth, If you can afford an ITR then go for it. You will need a top notch security system on it, a garage for when its not in use and a lot of cash for insurance- reason being , they get stolen and crashed way to often. that leads to a high symbol for the ins co to go by.

If you have real intentions of "racing" your soon to be R then buy it. If you have intentions of being cool and just having an R then skip the idea of getting one.

They are a really sweet cars and should be taken care of properly and protected from then ***** out there, so If its going to be your ONLY car, then get a better first.

What else would you like to know?, Welcome to the board.

 

Do not ever put APC products on your R!

 

Check out the following links before asking questions. Typically most of the stuff you will need to know has been asked / discussed before. Not to say it can't be discussed again, just some people are *ahem* sensative to overly discussed topics.
