If you guys had a choice, as in your first car. What would you guys want? A 2000 black ITR with salvage title with 55k miles, asking for about 12,000 or an 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo dark green 70k miles asking for about 8,500?

Well, good question,but remember that a car with a salvaged title usually has it for a reason.Find out why,get an inspection (or two) and get it appraised by a knowledgable appraiser.Also keep in mind that if you live in the States,you can probably find a non-salvaged ITR for a few thousand more. So my PERSONAL advice would be, for your first Type R, get a good one. Also, if this is going to be your first CAR ever, make sure you know just how fast these cars can be.Sometimes people get carried away with power,have no self control and get themselves hurt.Sorry to sound motherly,but thats how it is.This is just my opinion.Best of luck to you in your new car search!

Out of the choices given, I'd take the MR2. I personally would take a Kia over a salvaged anything! I'm impartial anyways......I own both, a 2000 ITR anda 1993 MR2 Turbo. Stay away from the salvage crap. Just wait it out and the Type R that you have been looking for will come up for sale.....w/ a clean bill of health.

For a 1st car I wouldn't suggest a type R at all...
Also a RWD isn't the safest choice for inexperienced driver.
Get a 1997 Prelude SH, excellent handling and easier to drive.
And with a type R on the highway it's wayyyyyyyyyyyy too easy to go wayyyyyyyyyy over the speed limit when reving close to 8500RPM

god I dont know why cars in the states are sooo freaking expensive!!! I wish you could get the same prices as over here Mr2 800-1500 (pick a year) 2000 ITR about 6000K. Anyway I would get niether, buy a GSR I think it's the best choice.
I agree w/ the two above posts. I do own and love both the ITR as well as the MR2. I would not recommend either of these vehicles for a first car. Knowing the way most "kids" are these days (and I was no different) they would end up klling themselves or someone else w/ this kind of power and performance. A Prelude, an Integra GS or GSR would be great for a first car. Thank God I didn't have an ITR or an MR2 for a first car! If I did, I would not be here right now! LOL! My first car was a 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme w/ a 260 (gutless) V8 in it.....and I got in plenty of trouble w/ that!

both are too much car for your first vehicle.... I know that's not the answer you're looking for, but take it for what it's worth; i'm not the only one saying it....
my first car was a '79 oldsmobile delta 88 diesel

this is tru. had an accidnet in the civic, needed a new car, called my friend up who just happened to be selling the R of my dreams. sure enough it was for sale. its payed off and i ended up paying ZERO money out of pocket, needless to say i got a good deal.
