I'm selling my 1997 Type R. The car is #97 and it has been meticulously cared for. Always garaged, pampered and has no modifications. The car has never raced or seen a track. It has been adult driven with no accidents and is in perfect running condition. The Type R has the dealer option AC. It has only 53k miles It still smells new you will be hard pressed to find one cleaner. Every bit of mechanical work has been recorded. Each gas fill up (how many miles, how much gas and MPG) has also been recorded since new. The car is located in Asheville NC and was purchased new from the local Acura Dealer. The price is $18,800.

I would love to have a 97... but $18,800 is way out of my range. Thanks for the reply tho.

I just noticed that your from Fayetteville(this city is full of MORONS)... I'm stationed here on Fort Bragg. I've only seen one ITR since I've been here... and it was PY-R on Base. I would love to get another R... it has to be within my Range & still waiting to the right one to come along. Maybe we can try and catch up sometime... so I may check out your R! I miss my R a lot... but most of all I miss driving/riding in one! Hit me back.
The PY one does it have some nasty grey wheels with a polished lip? I talked to the guy once before, nice dude but I don't think he really had that full gung ho R attitude, just owned it.
The other is a fbp or npb with jdm front w/o a wing, never talked to the dude yet.
And mine is a fbp with jdm front and obnoxious white JDM ITR wheels.
I saw a 97 in passing once but I haven't seen it around since, hard to say.
Either way, yeah get one... city full of morons. The people that are doing it right I could count it on my fingers.
I advise staying away from the auto scene though, it'll turn you off quickly, there are normals but hide in seclusion, my r barely leaves the garage.
Just waiting for the right time to pick one up. Plus... the thing that I'm worried about is that if I had an R around base... that'll it'll be fucked with all the time. No one knows how to drive & how to park around here. Just terrible! I've seen a few nice rides all fucked up from Door dings & fender benders cause of the stupid drivers. Not wanting to take the chance if I had an R. If I ended up getting another sometime soon... I'll end up storing her in a garage before I decided to park it on base.
That's good bro... I would hide my R too from morons around here! They see a nice car... expect it to get fucked with.
Thanks for the tip on the scene... Yeah the scene here... I laugh and schrugg whenever I see a riced out import. Plus I slap myself in the head too. "Dooh... what is he thinking?"
U going to Expo 7??? I'll probably going as a guest this year. Let me know what's up & maybe we can caravan up there together or something.

Did I say probably be there... What I meant to say was, "I will be there forsure!" Expo only a few hours away from me again... But SAD this year... NO more R to run the track . It's O.K. though... I can still go for RIDES... YEAH!!! Hope U saved me a seat Budman???
Thanks Budman for the Lub & support. Yeah I wish my lil bro would catch on and understand sometimes... but what more can I do... he'll always act like a lil brother & never wants to grow up! Always a KID having too much FUN.

Either way there's the "you only live once" factor, espcially when you're in the army, as you know that profession can speed it up.
I'd get one regardless to tell ya the truth. Just garage it when you deploy.
Yeah I'm going to Expo, I have to.
Yeah... I definently have plans to go to Expo 7 too! Just wish that I had an R to go along with it. I'm just waiting to find the one that I want... I got plenty of time... not in a hurry really. It's O.K. though... Expo is all about being around Awesome people & the R's. At least I'll be able to jump in the passenger seats and be able to go for rides. Have U been any of the Expo's in the past? I was at Expo 5 w/ my good old buddy Budman as my instructor.
No I haven't, I might be cancelling my registration. I just blew out a tire on my r the other night, damaged one of my wheels. So I had to get a 5th, 2 new tires and a camber correction kit and front end alignment to ensure good tirewear (they weren't bald it was just a 1/4 strip on the inside that just got some abuse)
After it's said and done i'm dropping about $1000 to correct all of this, plus with the holidays it's not feesable for me to drop that cash and I tore up my credit cards last month... so yeah, haha. maybe next time in a place much further away.
Quite possibly will purchase an ITR real soon, :fingerscrossed:, and am hoping to see a more active NC crowd at least... Anyone still around? I live in Asheboro, about 20mins south of Greensboro... If all things work out for me, I'd like to meet some more owners and enthusiasts locally...
I've actually been on autotrader religiously looking for ITR's over the past month or two... I've found a few that have interested me in NC and esp. one in Cincy, which I'm trying to agree apon a deal with the seller and go and pick it up presently, but I'm trying to work out a good % rate on a loan b/t two finance companies first... We'll see though hopefully
A friend just turned me onto ITR's. I'm shopping around and spending a lot of time(too much time) learning anything I can find here on the forum and the internet. Overall these cars are holding their value exceptionally well. I'm just a little anxious about finding the right one that hasn't been abused
