ITRCA

I found a 98 ITR to buy, but I believe the guy is asking way to much for it. It has low miles on it ( 34k) but he is asking $19,000 for it. The NADA retail price is $14,825. Do you think he will budge on his price? Any tips?

I JUST BOUGHT MINE IN MARCH. 27K MILES, STOCK FACTORY COMPTECH HEADER AND A NEW SET OF FLOOR MATS WITH A SPARE ITR BUMPER AND FRONT LIP. $18,000

IF HE KNOWS WHAT HE HAS, HE WON'T BUDGE, IF HE'S JUST SOME DORK WHO BOUGHT AS A COMMUTER CAR YOU GOT A SHOT. SHOOT FOR A RIDICULOUS PRICE THEN LET HIM COUNTER OFFER.

$19K is a lot for a 98 regardless of mileage. Depending on his locale, he may be able to get close to that (left or right coast), but if he's in middle america or some rural spot, no chance of getting that for one unless someone buys it and has it shipped. A 98 in Ohio with that price would never sell. I'd find a price you're comfortable with, offer it and see what he says. He can always call you back if he can't find a buyer for what he wants. Besides, as rare as these cars are, good ones still seem to pop up from time to time, so keep checking the AutoTrader, ebay, Honda-tech, ITRCA, etc until you find one that's priced more affordably.

Buy mine. Supercharged and only $17,500. See my ad in classifieds.

dude.. thats a good price.. the itr that bought and returned i bought for 19,000.. now i found a nice black one and im going to be purchasing it for about 18,000.. the only way the guy your going to buy it from will sell it to you for less.. is if he was shot in the head or doesnt know shit about the car.. I say go for it

i bought my 98 type r last christmas for 19000 and it had 30000 miles on it trust me that is a good price and it's totally worth it!!!!

Sell me your charger!

Thanks for the advice.

p.s. To the guy with the Supercharged ITR- where are you located?

East Tennessee about 45 min from NC. I bought this car from a guy in Gastonia in 2001. It wasn't supercharged then. It still has an NC emissions test sticker in the front window.

If it's in mint condition I think it would be worth close to 18K but no more. I'm in Raleigh and I have a 2000 in great shape. Here's my spleal from Honda-tech:

2000 FBP Integra Type R for sale with 36,000 miles. Mostly stock with extra parts (DC 4-1 Header, JDM rear strut tower brace, JDM fogs, Avital alarm with hood sensor, Acura car cover, Comptech Icebox, and Alpine CD). The body is in near perfect condition, very clean engine, clean interior, everything works. Never wrecked, flooded, stolen, etc... Brand new Falken Azenis (put on last week!). Washed weekly and oil changed every 3-4K with Mobil One or Syntec and with Honda filter. Tranny fluid just changed too. Selling to pay off school. $18,500
No joyrides. No lowballing. Only interested individuals need apply. 919-821-5458

Hey man, would you be willing to sell your Comptech Icebox?

if it makes you feel better I bought my 02 py w/ 13xxx miles for $20599.

Damn man, you got ripped off! You bought a car that doesn't even exist

And I bought my '00 PY ITR w/ 27k miles at the time (this is 4th of July weekend last year) for $21,450

LOL, good one Kabob . . .an 02 ITR?!?

just another point on the graph . . . I bought my 98 with 34,000 miles 1.5 years ago and paid $17,000. It was mint. I woudl not pay over $17k for one now either. Also the book value is likely more than you are finding. The book value of a Type-R is nearly impossibly to find. last year this time a 98 with my bank booked at 16,800 so i woudl hate to think they lost $2000 in one year. It holds it's value better than that. I'd say it is worth about $16,000-$17,000. Alot of it depends on what it is worth to you . . .

I'll trade yeah.... purdy please...

My next car will prolly be a CW or PY R... I have the motor, but I want the luxury of saying I own a real, true R... someday, someday I say...

My bad 01 py, very mint however almost destroyed it last night on the mountain roads. Need a better suspension

Anyone who says $19,000 is a good price for a 98 is a complete moron. I just bought my 00' Phoenix Yellow w/ 12.5k for $18,850. If you pay more than 17 for a 98 your gettin taken no matter what the condition.

P.S. Good slam on that 02' Type R.
