ITRCA

What is a good price for and 2000 FBP-R w/ 8k on it? It is as clean as the day it came out of the dealership. Bone-stock. I just bought it and was wondering if I got a deal at all.
Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks

Did you buy it from a guy in Philly? If so, I was actually going to drive up there from NC and buy it. Anyway, I think 20K or less is a good deal if it's in mint condition.

I just got my ITR a lil over 2 weeks ago. I got it from a guy in NY and i live right outside philly. It is a 01 with 4k miles. The condition was mint, showroom. It is bone stock except for an upgraded sound system and an alarm system. I paid 23k for mine. For urs, 20k is good if its in perfect condition.

Yeah don't pay over 20k with the economy down, they're just not worth it. People with give u the run-around about how they're rare and everything but NADA has them running around $17.5. give or take.

Yeah, I'd agree, no more than 20K, although looking at it another way, if you can't find another ITR in the same condition with the same mileage, you may have to shell out some bucks to get it.

Guess it depends on how desperate you are to get the car....

I paid a little over 20k, I had been searching for over a month and I needed an R badly. The dealerships around my way were asking $23-24k with 35,000+miles. This was the best deal around so now I am a proud owner . I had a GS-R before so I couldn't go for anything less. You guys know what I mean. Thanks for the input everyone.

Yeah, as a matter of fact I did, it was like an hour or so right outside of Philly.

I wouldn't feel bad if you paid 20k plus for a type R.. These cars should command a high price for mint, unmodified, low mileage examples. So many of them get stolen, modified to excess, wrecked etc. These cars are in a very special catagory considering that there is no real replacement for them in North America. In Japan, it's the opposite where they have depreciated like any other car.

I bought mine in great condition for $22,500 from a dealership last june. The car had 47,000 miles on it. I know it sounds high but I dont regret it. It was close to me and I could get it financed. Well worth it. IMO
