I am getting the car from the original owner and this guy was very anal. Never wore shoes in the car or used the back seat which makes me very happy because I am anal myself. The car is all stock and has been its whole life except for JDM recaro red seats in the front. The car is in showroom condition. I paid 20k for the car with the orignal wheels and tires that only have 200 miles on them and the car came with these lightweight spoon wheels that cost like 500 per wheel. I think I got a great deal on the car. I also get Spoon headers, exhaust and cat that are still sealed in the boxes and never used. I will be selling these parts one I get the car. I also get the original seats with the car. I think I got an incredibel deal and was extremely lucky because there were about 60 people wanting this car. What do you think a type r in this condition is really worth? Thanks

x2!!

You got a great deal, in my opinion.
I could see hard core enthusiasts paying more than that. I personally would have paid up to $25,000 for a caR in condition like that. You're a lucky, lucky guy!!
Take good care of her and post pics!!!!

With that kind of mileage and care, she's worth $25k even without the Spoon wheels/parts. IMHO. If you take care of heR as well as the first owner, she will only appreciate in value. Nice find :!:

Yeah the guy is getting married and wants the 20k for a downpayment on a house. He only lives an hour away from me which is amazing because I would have purchased this car if it was across the country. I am very anal myself so I can guarentee the car will stay in its pristine condition. I would never paint the car. I love it all stock and original. I will keep the JDM red recaro's in the car. I am going to sell my spoon parts and the spoon wheels when I get the car. What made this deal one of those I couldnt passup is the fact that yes I would have paid 20k for the car alone but with over 8,000 in spoon parts that are sealed and never been used is unreal. When its all said and done I am hoping to make 8,000 off the parts so really I only paid 12k for the car wich is rediculous. I guess thie original owner is so anal about this car that he had black towels over the floor mats and when he got into the car he would remove his shoes and put them in a plastic bag so no dirt particles would touch the carpets. :D

Its funny that some of you remember me from when I had my PY ITR. The reason I sold it is because it wasnt mint enough for me and I couldnt stand it. Finally I get the chance to own the itr Gem I have always wanted. :D
