If this is legit, which I have little doubt that it wouldn't be, this is a beautiful '97 with 30k and a set of Volks in Texas if anyone's looking. Wow, just wow.

That is beautiful. I would love to own that car.

 

I want that! The economy is scaring the crap out of me, though.

I wonder how cleanly those moldings can be removed.

 

didn't know itr's came with side moldings. someone fill me in. thanks

 

I'm sure the owner added them. He's obviously very meticulous with the car; according to his autotrader listing it's his daily driver, and it looks like anything but! They're not OEM moldings which means they're not bolted through the door panels, but likely installed with double-sided tape.

 

I didn't notice the side moldings the first time around. ITR's definetly didn't have side moldings. I wonder how they were installed.

 

No kidding about the economy. Welcome to AA+ America.

I didn't even notice the door molding but I did think something didn't look right other than it being CW with non-CW wheels, an obvious no-no. j/k

 

Wow! That's a jewel I'd love to add to my collection. I hope it finds a mature owner who will enjoy heR.

 

Very reasonable price for a Very clean 97 spec. Im sure it will be sold in a matter of time.....

 

beautiful, wish it was down the street form me so I could check it out

 

This is what doespike said

 

I've inquired about it and he is the second owner and has own it for 8 months. Carfax shows it changed ownership in April so IDK if he just didn't get around to it till later or?

Also, he states it is #261 and according to the registry it is salvaged R?

Any clarification...?

 

That is indeed clean. Wish it was around my area.

 

$16,500 for a '97, mind you its low mileage...

But is that price right?

 

BEEEEEEEAUTIFUL !

 

Interesting. It was also added to the registry 45,000 in 09'. Doespike said this was for sale by the original owner last year with 23k on it. It is possible the guy who added it to the registry fat-fingered the numbers and it isn't 261. I'll e-mail the guy that listed it for clarification...

 

how far does this guy drive for his daily driver to be 14 years old and only have 30k miles on it? i've heard of people who do more then that in 1 year.

edit: saw the posts above me about this thing added to the ITR registry with 45k on it and being salvage. if this listing didn't smell fishy before it certainly reeks now.

 

That's really strange about stick-on door moldings.

IIRC, there are only 4 digits after the hypen as my #50 read ACURA-0050 as this reads #26. I think 'fat fingered' is the case and the one wasn't intential I guess?

-Matt (goes to check registry)

 

Something isn't matching up in regards to this sell.

I once again asked him how long he has owned it and he said 8 months and then I told him about what carfax and he was quick to say he had been mistaken and that it was only 4 months.

Also, like Utilitarian states, the badge picture shows #26 yet the owner told me it was #261?

 

This is #261 with 30k miles. She had 23k miles one year ago this month. VIN matched. This seller just happened to cut out the 1. I have a badge pic from last year with all the digits. All '97s came with 5 digits after the hypen.

Hopefully a mature owner picks this one up. Not many '97s left that aren't completely effed up. Only 14 years old and most have been thru hell or dead.

Matt:

<--still wishes he could have snapped up #50 while on the east coast

 

Thats a nice Type R!

haha i like how people act like Columbo.
(Goes to get magnifying glass)

 

Beautiful.

 

That thing is worth every bit of 16. **** some of us have 16 on MODS alone...i have had over time...not proud to say tho. But This R is worth it.

 

Nice Joe! I guess I stand corrected, it's been a while..

I guess that's my old armrest eh?

 

Actually, it's not

It's your badge, not your armrest.
