Here I am in early April and I've missed several really nice cars because of communication lag so I figured I'd be proactive.

I'm trying to get myself an R as a present to myself for turning 40 ( I know I'm super old).

I'm a Honda Guy, through and through my current daily driver (pictured below) is a tastefully modded 2013 Sedan Si.

Your Type R (if you sell it to me) will never see rain or salt, it will always be locked away in my garage at night. It will be driven "enthusiastically" but it won't be beaten on or tracked. It will also never be disrespected with cheap mods or Rota wheels.

What I'd really like is:

-Ideally bone stock or as close to stock as possible

-Ideally under 40,000 miles

-Zero winters (zero road salt exposure)

Location is not a factor (for the right car I'll fly to Texas / or Miami / or Cali / or Vancouver BC etc...)

I've missed several nice, low mileage 1 or 2 owner cars and thats really what I'm after.

I could care less about color (black / yellow / white )

I'm not a monkey, I have both bought and sold cars on forums before / I'm 40 (meaning I'm not a 20yr kid thats sketchy) and I have a price in my head of what I know they are actually selling for in the condition I'm after.

Give me a chance to buy myself a 40th birthday present and give your Type R a good (next) home.

Regards

Good luck on your search! You're not making a mistake by purchasing an R, trust me.

 

I drove a friends for 3 months back in 2001 when he went overseas.

Thats why I've been thinking of one for all these years

hopefully something comes along

 

ITS A FRONT! HE REALLY IS 20!

hahaha. I kid I kid. Glad to see that over a range of cars I'm sure you have driven, the R sticks out after "all these years". Your criteria is a tad tight for whats out there at this moment, but if you stay vigilant on the search I'm sure one will pop up.

With the specs your looking for, the person who owns it will for sure know what it's worth and I'm guessing your going to be in the ~$18k range IMO.

Not sure if that black one is still floating around. 51k miles I think, 99% stock, and was around $16k.

Good luck and if anything pops up that you miss I will try to post it up here for ya!

 

Thanks for looking out for me. Other than frequent searches I'm not really good at manipulating the web to find things.

The most recent one I missed was outside Chicago at Bob Lindsay Acura (1 owner / black / 33,000 miles / extensive service history / $19k asking(no idea what it went for) )

That car looked mint - mint - mint, and with being 1 owner and such low mileage it would have been easily a $16k car to me ( thats what the dealer said it went for)

I almost bought this one, but decided to go with a yellow one instead. It's pretty much the only stock one with low miles available right now.

 

Also, got mine with 55K miles, all stock for $16K. It was in immaculate condition.

 

Good luck in your search. I'll definitely keep my eye out for you. I'm always looking.

 

I've talked to him and seen some more detailed pictures that show some serious rash to the front and rear bumpers.

Plus it says zero winters but some of the pictures are taken in winter and the engine looks salt corroded in spots.

You must have bought the Yellow one in Rochester NY with 55K? , you beat me to it by days (I had been back and forth with that dude for weeks)

Hope its treating you well.

Cheers

Will

 

Yes, that was the one I got. Hopefully, a stock one pops up soon. $19,500 is too much for that black one, the guy wouldn't budge.

 

The Edmunds 98 went for ~25k. To give you an idea of what a really mint one goes for to the right person.

Good luck with your search.

 

good luck!

 

seems legit, best of luck finding a nice one. Took me month and month to find mine but if you keep looking everywhere you'll find one !

gl again

May issue from Grassroots Motorsports lists ITR as the future classic and that anyone thinking about owning should buy one like "today".

 

dude i had been wanting this kinda car for yeeears before i got one..




im not selling it. ever.

 

hopefully soon I'll be able to post pictures of my own

 

how goes the search?

 

I've had alot of input from sellers and in general

I'm really hoping I could have one in my driveway soon.

whenever I do, I'll of course post about it.

Will

 

I was selling my 2000 py for awhile. I took a break from it and drove around a 400 hp STI, and one weekend I took the R out for a drive.... I promptly sold the STI, and went back to daily driving the R. No matter how much faster a car is nothing can compare to the performance and fun of the Type R. I'll never try and sell mine again. Good luck with your search.

 

Hey Will, i thought I would help with some craiglist findings around my area. All are located in California, not sure if you are willing to come out here. Anyways, here are the ITR's.

Hope I helped with your journey

 

^ The third one is an excellence buy. If one purchase it and sell off the 2.0 built engine for $3K. He or she then end up with an original '97 ITR for only $13K

 

Where are you located? In Ottawa, Ontario, Canada - have a CW 2001 with approx 25,000 km's on it. Been open to selling it for years - never been given the right offer.

 

I got one, but my best friend (also in Ottawa) is still looking for one.

My buddy isn't on the boards, so shoot me an email.

Ntr1_1@hotmail.com

He and I both passed on the one in Toronto that is like yours (2001 CW / red interior) at $23k safetied & e-tested with some maintenance items thrown in.

Like I said, shoot me an email.

Here is mine
