Cars For Sale: Integra TYPE-R's - Sept/Oct 2012

 

glws
market has been slow unless giving car way

 

well he must not really want to sell it bc that price is way to high

 

^:facepalm:.

I miss mine. Sold it kinda cheap. I knew I was gonna miss it, but I never drove it and it was the car that made most sense to sell. Would never sell my S2000. Needed my DB8 to drive daily, and thru winters. Plus, I needed the garage space since my GF bought a S2000. The thingbI miss the most, are probably all the sounds the car made I think. It really sounded like the engine was in your lap. I'll probably buy another one next year or in a couple years now that I have my new job.

GLWS, OP. I sold mine to a member on here. Infact the 3 people that showed genuine interest were from here. People from craigslist sounded like they were either very dumb...or they were scumbags. I had people asking me to give them a more specific location on where the car was located. Like I was born yesterday. My ad did specify "no weirdos". So I just didn't reply to ghetto/weird emails.

 

You may have to flex on the price a bit and definitely be patient. Don't let it go into the hands of some moron.

 

Your best bet is gonna be to ebay it. It will be very hard to get more than 16 right now but theres always a buyer for this type of car.

 

eBay is a best bet when you're trying to quickly unload a car.

If you know it's real value and can be patient then put it up and wait.

I agree that 16k is probably the sweet spot.

 

couldn't be more wrong

ebay is your best bet at getting top dollar for a car. everyone in the nation is looking at it

you CAN use it to unload a car quick but you can also have high min bids and your phone number in the auction for people to call

 

Most serious buyers will want to look at a car before purchasing. Pictures only go so far. It isn't uncommon for an ITR buyer to fly cross country look before buying. While neither are you are wrong, it's odd that you feel eBay is the best place to sell a car when there are other more established online markets for buying a car.

 

Thank you for all the input. I am in no rush to sell the car. It is almost never driven it and I don't even know the badge number off the top of my head. I will post it up with some more pics later today.

 

where?

name one that has the kind of page views and search potential?

i'd love to know of a place with that kind of marketing power that only charges me $100 to sell a car

 

That car is in excellent condition! In this market hard at that price but I would say hold out for the economy to turn around and a true enthusiast would love to have this

 

those are the only guys buying

for the ITR you basically have to be a cash buyer and have to be willing to pay up for the best compact of the 90s

most people don't realize what a reliable car this is and even at the age they are many of the well kept ones will just keep going and going. the electronics on the car are rock solid which leaves only wear and tear parts that go with mileage

if they weren't such theft magnets i'd get one for a run around beater. one of the better mpg to performance ratios out there

 

Man where was this ITR back in june when I baught mine. I would trade my jdm front spooned out 01 for a minty original and 10k less miles. Good luck with the sell hope she goes to a good home.

 

Yeah, amazing platform... Replace a distributor once every few years and you're done. I am about to temporarily convert my track car back to a stock'ish DD.

As far as the eBay thing, my largest complaint if you do want to put a higher starting price out there then you're paying that much more for each listing. Anybody that is in the market for an R and has done anything more than 4 minutes of homework would know that ITRCA is a great place to look. Make a post and let it sit as long as you would like.

I've personally had the best luck with Autotrader with non-ITR's that I've sold, pay the $60 or whatever for an unlimited AD and just let it set. I've never had to firesell a car though.

 

they changed that. auto listings were free as of a couple months ago. only pay if you sell

i hate ebay, but for car sales it's not bad. just don't sell clothes, cell phones or computers there

with car marketing i say do it all. autotrader, r forum, ebay, craigs. mass exposure gets the most people. itrca would be a great place as i would go there first if i was looking for one

 

Thanks for the ITRCA recommendation. I just hope they don't bash me for hopping on there just to sell the R.

 

Had no idea of the changed policy, good to know.

As far as the two ITR's I've sold they've both came off H-T leads ironically enough. Both M3's have went by way of autotrader. Craigslist was able to generate the highest volume of annoying emails but never anything good.

We won't

 

most CL emails are phishing for spam marketing. if you ever do an ad make sure to put that you only will accept actual phone calls. emails and texts will not be replied to. people that text on cars are generally time wasters and emails are usually scams dash phishers. anyone seriously would want to talk
