THANKS

Someone want to buy my R I don't know if I should sell it or not, I told him around $63,000 to $65,000.. He want to bring it back to South America to road race ( he is in his upper 50s) so I think he is pretty serious about it, beside he came up to me first.

I put in 4 years of my time since Oct 98 (that was the last time I drove it) and X amount of money and A LOT of research into it I can't just sell it, a lot of my friend told me to get rid of it, it makes my life easier... from a non racer point of view of course sell it. If I keep the race car, I still need another 4 to 5 grand to finish it up and I need $2770 more for me to payoff the car. He even want to buy my supercrew truck.

$60 grand is a large amount, at least for a 23 year old. If I sell it should I do it over again? or use that money to invest in something else?

Will post my new setup if you guys want to read it again.

What kind of car are you selling for $60,000?

 

my thoughts as well. that must be one super R. and seeing where ou are i would say we are talking us dollars here.

 

the guy is actually thinking about buying an Integra Type R for $60,000, US dollars?

if so, send him my way, i'll cut him a deal for $50,000

 

NSX type R?????

 

Sorry Rob but I don't think you have a quarter of the stuff I got listed in my R

 

haha, i guess not. what all do you have done? i'm curious

 

i am not understanding this thread at all
someone explain !

 

Yeah man you gotta tell us what's in this car. Even Roger Foo's Civic, a proven race winner in the Speedvision series, is selling for like 20-something grand if I remember correctly, and definitely no more than 30K. Since modding a car oftentimes brings down the value of it (especially if you've removed a lot of ****), what makes your R worth 60K? Not doubting, just saying we need a little more info.

 

Yes, my curiosity is high right now too.
Did I read that right, you haven't driven it since '98??
Modifications please.

You can answer this question yourself... how much is it worth to you? If his figures match up nicely, then sell it. If it doesn't, don't.

Type R is nice, but there are other interesting projects out there.

 

huh
my head is spinning

 

So you've put all this $$ into it, plus the PS2 and AV goodies, and haven't driven it since 1998? Sounds like you're enjoying the hell out of it to me. How can it be a road racer if you don't even drive it? I say sell it to someone who will actually drive it. Where in South America does the guy live? Brazil or Argentina I imagine? If he lives in Colombia, don't sell it to him. The car (and probably the driver) will be dead if it is ever seen on the street.

 

I say sell it

 

Sounds like all the ICE is in the truck. Is the truck part of the deal? Where the hell you get your money from, kid? (Never mind, it's none of my bidness)

 

they're getting this too in the price right?

For that kind of money, you'd better get the truck with the car!

So the cars' got ITB's and a good engine management system. It still sounds like it's about 100% overpriced. If I added ITB's and a engine management system, I still couldn't get that kind of coin for my R in Canadian dollars, never mind American dollars!

Here's a half assed list of my mods (in case anyone wanted to compare) It's under 35mugen about half way down the page.

I hope the truck is included in that price.

 

Is not I don't want to drive it, is that the car is not ready, this 4 years of hell was saving up my money.

LIP

Nah just the R

 

I think he put the PS2 and AV goodies in the truck...

 

Well if the guy wants to buy it for that much I wouldn't think twice about selling it.

 

This guy must definitely be Columbian, cuz he's obviously been snorting too much crack to \buy an ITR for 60k+.

 

In Colombia they dont actually do drugs, they just grow them.

 

Nah my car is no where worth $63,000 the most maybe $30,000 I just hope he will call me back. Btw Real Time are selling the R around $55,000 they are going to run the DC5 cars next year.
