Contemplating another ITR purchase (a mint '97 w/ 25K)

It sounds pretty legit, 24.5k, one owner, never "raced", all stock, and never moded. Asking price was $18,900. I regret selling my 2000 FBP and am starting to get tired of my GS-T. thanks guys. Anyone with carfax IM me or email me matthewmcgrain@hotmail.com

Yeah. I guess you have to start high these days with kids trying to lowball. I might check it out next week though.

I should be thinking about my upcoming wedding in six months but I can't stop thinking about how much fun auto-xing my ITR was

I'd say go for it, but get the price down.
If you have to quote KBB or Edmonds ... whichever actually has a price for it.

Good point. I thought about that. But when push comes to shove it's just a creative way to lowball. I wish I could get a '97 Itr for blue book (13K or so). That would be awesome. In reality, the car's value is based primarily on car freaks like ourselves and how much we are willing to pay for a car that is no longer in production. $18,900 is a little on the steep side though.

Can you keep that 97 safe?

If so then go for it!

Just for comparison: I bought my 98' R on Jun of 03'. Original owner, 27,100 miles, bone stock, never tracked with all maintenance records, a spare bumper and ITR lip, factory installed comptech header and a new set of ITR floormats for $18,000.The choice is yours..... BUY IT </TD></TR></TABLE>

Sounds like you're happy with it. That's cool. 98's are bad-*** too. I do like the bigger headlights and redesigned front and rear bumper covers. '97s are cool b/c there are only a handful left not to mention insurance & taxes will be a little less.

Re: (r573)

She's definately my first priority. Then again, she understands the whole car obsession thing too. I'll probably check out the R on Wed.
