I'm in the process of purcahsing a 97 GSR. I think I'm getting a hell of a deal but people keep telling me other wise. anyway its a 97 GSR black on black with 85k comes with AEM cold air intake, comptech exhuast, ACT clutch, Toda flywheel, sparco shift ****, and a VIS carbon fiber hood. All for 8200 bucks. Tell me what you guys think?

 

Any pics of the car?

We can't tell if its a good deal by what you gave us for info. Have you done a compression test and leakdown test? What kind of condition is the car in (interior and exterior). How did the owner treat the car, is it a clean title?

You do know that mods don't increase the price of a car. If anything it means the car was surely beat on a bit.

Give us some more info, pics and what not. Then, we can discuss the price.

 

well he bought the car from a dealership about 6k ago and has now decided he wants to get an RSX type S. it has no rust what so ever and the paint is perfect. its stored in a climate control storage unit and he only drove it over this summer to a couple cruise nights. the clutch and flywheel are both only a 3 weeks old. Hes selling to get a downpayment on the new car.

 

look into seeing if any maintenance work was done to it at the stealership!..ie. receipts! 85K is getting close to t-belt time!!

 

i just bought my 96 GSR in good condition in and out for $7500. red with black leather, all options. 17" wheels, toyo proxes, shift ****, exhaust, koni yellows, lowering springs, DC header, strut bar, etc. theres a link to my cardomain page on my signature.

 

whoops, and it had 95k.

 

yea its had all the maintenance done including t-belt and waterpump. my problem is that its hard to find any better deals than this here in the midwest.

 

*thumbs up* 1997 GSR'S are rare..most common are 94-95 GSR's. 1997 GSR's are my favorite because it comes with the syder rims, until the 1998 GSR's came out of course. . oh yeah, its a pretty good deal on that find. Tell em 8k and put down 4k purchasing price so you wont have to pay that much tax.
*cheers*

 

yeah man I'm all about the stock acura spyders. he was asking like 9500 but i talked him down to 8200.

 

I would never buy a fix up car. You are asking for problems down the line. It's obvious the cars been driven hard with all those mods.

 

sounds like an ok deal. You could probably talk him lower.

 

$7000 would be a good deal..... 8200 is just average

 

it hasnt been driven ahrd at all, if anything its been very babied. I know the guys at the shop where the clutch, flywheel, and al the maintenance was done at and they gave the car two very big thumbs up as far as condition and reliability.

 

well.. if you believe them...
and you can afford the payments and INSURANCE...

then it sounds like you may have found yourself a GS-R

 

yeah i beleive them theyre good friends of mine. the insurance is a killer though. i had a 94 gsr a while back and i remember how outragous it was then, i dont even wanna think about it now. haha.

 

insurance is quite a bit for GSR's, even if its a 4 DR. i'm speaking from experience, hence my user ID.
