So I was looking into maybe buying another R, in addition to my 97R I already have, and I ran into this.

That is pretty nice to have a 97 R with 772 miles, but the price is just a bit high.

 

Yeah, I'd say $43,000 is a bit high!

 

REPOST

 

damn, really. Oh well. Everyone is allowed 1 time.

 

I LOVE Type R's and all but for $43k, that just may be a little too much.....

 

thats too much

you can probably get 3 R's at that price

Yup, repost.... but they guy did jack up the price from 34,000 to 43,000.

 

thats a rip. find one with 10000 miles for 20000 cheaper

 

That price is just hilarious. This guy is insane, you could probably get a 97 NSX in good condition for that amount. A car with that low miles was probably sitting in a garage for 2 years undriven.

 

What a waste of a perfectly good car. There's my two cents just in case I didn't say that the first time around. I'd rather have one with low miles that hasn't been sitting.

 

that guy will never sell that car

Funny how he's looking for serious buyers only, yet isn't so serious himself...
Maybe he could tell us what he's smoking, coz it looks to be 1st grade chit!

And probably has what mechanics call "lot rot." It's not good to let a car sit around like that without being driven once in a while.

That model probably has none of what you're speaking of... looking at the options list makes me think it's a very special car

damn, what does he think he got in that R, no one is gonna spend 43k to buy a 97 R, even though only 772 mileages. the car is not been driving for 7 years

 

This guy is out of his mind

 

Would be a nice car to store in my garage

 

Wow! What a waste of a car.

exactly.

you either do it right, or dont do it at all. 722 miles? thats a waste of a car for sure.

a guy i knew sold his itr 2.5 years afer her bought it for 30,000 with 7 miles on the clock. now thats how you do it. none of this 722 miles means 42000 grand bullshit lol

 

that's crazy.. 43000 UDS?

who's gonna get one.?

 

I say we all hit him up and pretend to want to buy it. Maybe he will up the price with so many inquiries, haha.

 

thats more then the car was for new.... idiot... he'll never sell it...

sheesh.. for 43k.. id get another bimmer..

 

There will be a time when that car will be worth 43k--just not yet.

If you think it won't be a coveted collector car, I think you'd be mistaken.

 

it better have new car smell to verify if it's really new

 

I couldn't help myself. I had to email that guy and tell him what a crack head he was. Serious buyers only? Please... when I saw $43,000.00 I could hear my ******* pucker.

I also agree that a car that has sat around that long, is probably not going to run properly. I wonder if he drained all the fluids when he stored it. Or put the car on blocks and let the air out of the tires.

That guy should be bitch slapped for letting a perfectly great car sit around seven years. I bet when he bought it, he thought he was making an amazing investment....guess what? The only appreciating asset a person will ever own is property/land.

I think it may cost quite a bit fix all the **** that's going to break when doing 70 down the freeway. Or something crazy might happen like the damn tranny decides to introduce it's self to the car behind you.

What do you think is the first thing to go? If the tires are the original ones, I say a tire blows out first.

Everyone should email this guy and tell him what a jack *** he is.
