How do you put a hole in your floor mat with only 29,999 miles?

The pedals look right for the mileage. Maybe that mat is just a spare and the original one is put away? That is stoopid $ for that caR though. Thinking 18-19K max.

i went through 2 floor mats, both in worse condition than that in roughly 80k miles

car was used as a track rat and for short trips/booting around (not an R though)

i would assume this car was used for the same.. but his mat looks better than mine @ 30K

Paint is nowhere near perfect, mods are not high end.......something seems fishy with this. Almost like the seller had the car bid up so someone would take the bait

the ebay seller hasn't had any feedback since 2011. Seems a bit fishy to me at least.

my first thought, but that's definitely a scam. No way that high bid is legit

Still, print that out and use as insurance value documentation. I've been doing that recently as ITR prices have started to go back up.

Look at the bid history. r***4 obviously bid the car up. Click on his name and you can see everything he bid on. He has bid 38 different times with only 2 different transactions.

Also remember the Integra Type R used thinner floor mats for weight reduction.
Just a little defense for that hole..

That VTEC AFC, I remember so many years ago installing that thing in my integra gsr haha
good old memories ...
A bit expensive too for that R ...

Do you think in 10 years that car would have a higher value ?

Wow, I wonder what is the value of my ITR which has ~5,400 miles.

I will also print that out just in case, @Todd00 thanks for the advice.

You're clearly missing the point. In my younger days I may or may not have (not an admission of guilt) had my friends bid up an item or two on ebay so that one were to create the illusion of interest and pocket more $. Either the buyer was braindead or this is what has happened.

Rgoose18.....who is currently selling his R and wishes prices were inflated this high

High price indeed... I've been on and off hunting for ITR's for a while now... I remember seeing a 20K mile ITR for around 19 grand, and I thought that was high...

I too am hoping that somehow, someway my stock Si with under 10k miles on it can be sold for the right price... but it's not as rare or as nice as a very fine PY DC2 ITR!

Don't know how I missed this thread, but this car was for sale at a dealership local to me. I drive by it like everyday to work. The dealer was asking $18k I believe on autotrader originally. It's a repair shop with a small lot for cars they're selling. They mostly deal in classic/collectible american cars like old novas, vettes, camaros etc.

Well he has since jacked up the price $10k since it first went up for sale. After a month or two he dropped it from 19k to 18k.
