ok here's the deal, i found a:

1998 Championship White Type R with 21,000 miles

the guy is asking $13,995

here's the delema...it has a salvaged title due to theft

so the question is...even though its salvaged do you guys think it would still be a good deal and buy it?

 

after the theft was everything replaced new new parts/motor/trans/interior? To me, its hard to believe that a 98 R only has 21k on it... unless they person has more than a handful of cars to choose from.

 

i say no, keep looking..... some dude where i live wanted 14K for a '98 with salvage and had the interior replaced with GSR leather ! find another one bro

 

for under 14g. i think its worth every penny. only if the car was replaced with OEM parts.

i agree. if the replacements are not oem, find another R

 

i smell odometer fraud, rollback..whatever u wanna call it

 

you can take a look at my car

 

but your car is 00-01..
the car that hes talking about is a 98... it should have more milage than that... seeeeeems a little fishy.. but if they are all original miles.. heck i would sell my c1 for that any day.

 

i see ur in Oakland, near me, shoot me a IM with this guys phone number....i wanna talk to him

 

i wouldn't buy it!!!! a type r with no full covrage!!! ur askin to get ur *** rammed!!! you'd be stuck with crap if you got in an accident or if it got jacked!

 

i think the miles have been rolled back unless this guy only drives his car in the summer. plus it has a salvaged title i donno man somthin fishy bout this car. i wouldnt take the chance. i would look for another r.

 

run a carfax u can check to c if the odometer is rolled. and i dunno but is 14k too much for a salvaged R. i thought it would be more around a little more then 10k. but im not sure.

 

Dont do it. Find a non salvaged one.

Not neccesarilly.
Mine is a 98 w/little over 9,000
It even still smells new

 

im assuming that its not your daily driver.

 

if this cars from oakland cali, its not the right mileage....

 

Dont do it find the one you really want and that has a clean title....

 

thanks guys for all your help...i think i will keep looking for a non salvaged type R...i did think something was fishy about it

hype: yes this type R is from the bay area and thanks for the warning that the odometer isn't correct

again thanks to all from saving me from a $14 grand mistake

 

yeah...someone replaced the motor and set the odometer to 0 IMHO

 

DON't TRUST CARFAX! A while back i was going to buy this 99 EBP SI for a very reasonable price. I ran the carfax, it was clean, no salvage or anything. When the salesman popped the hood for me, i was in shock. There was a D-engine sitting in the SI body. AND HE WAS EVEN SELLING IT AS AN SI!

Back on topic, no, don't buy it. Just be patient.
