Default looking to buy an R

Hey. Im new to these boards, and im looking to sell my car and buy an ITR. I live in the So cal area, and id like some ideas on what to look for, ie weather a semi stock ITR would be a better investment over a modded one. Any help or feedback would be greatfully appreciated. Thanks.

ps. heres some pix of my car , if you know anyone who might be interested.

unless my mommy put me on restriction.....? Jamaican domestic market ?

Anyways. Reason im looking for an R is beacuase a buddy of mine had one and he let me drive it and i was impressed. It only had a cai and a short shifter but i was like, damn. Plus id also want a daily driver that has good reliability, unlike my car, and perfornace as well. My Accord was turbo'd, when i had the stock SOHC motor in it, and i was boosting 9lbs and i toasted the motor because it wasnt able to handle 9lbs and used as a dd. Thus since then it has become very unreliable and id like to fix all the crap thats wrong with it and sell it for an R.

Yeah i hear that too. As much bad car luck that ive had in the past, ive never had a car thats been fucked wiht or stolen. Either way i think thats a risk id have to take wiht wanting an R, but i saw someting that worked better than lo jack or an alarm, it was a big black guy named ben and you leave him in your car in case anyone gets close.

I swear to god the incredible lack of a grasp on the english language, spelling and grammar included, is giving me a headache. Is it that difficult to articulate your thoughts into legible sentances?

Keep searching here, itra.com, and autotrader. If your persistent and patient you will find what your looking for. Sell your car first and get a beater if need be. When you find what your looking for you want to be ready to make the deal. I would also get pre approved for a loan. I lost out on the first couple I found.
