Who wants a 97 Type R

https://m.ebay.com/itm/1997-Acura-In...YAAOSwQwZag0xp

Never thought I would see the day. Don’t think I could ever pay this. What do y’all think?

Read the thread on the other site. It’s a shitbox.

This is no unicorn. The mileage is pretty questionable.

Re: Who wants a 97 Type R

I haven't been on in a while, I still have my R and follow this page .
if I am correct the Badge is not the original it says 00035 shouldn't it say 97035 Im just going on what I learned 18 years ago with the Type R. I could be wrong.

Re: Who wants a 97 Type R

Does anyone know if this eBay listing was for 1997 00035?

I see 00035 is listed for sale with ~15k miles but shows many signs of being higher mileage than that. It has a turbo on it, interior is pretty faded and worn, driver's door pan fabric peeling off, trunk mat in horrible shape, and the shift **** looking like it's so old it needs to be replaced.

Asking price as of today is $65k.
