Dont know if anybody has already seen this but I was at Bridgewater acura yesterday trading in my dad's wheels for a 2010 TL tech.

Real Type R. This thing is MINT.

No one here owns Acuras.

 

Hmm, wouldn't this be more of a car talk thing?

And off you go, thread...into Car Talk.

 

cool.

my friend bought one.. it was championship white.. had 40k or 60k miles..don't remember, but it was clean like the one you posted.


stolen week after. lol

cops found it stripped to shell out in the middle of no where.

 

There are 2G RLs going for less than that.

 

If only it had the type-r front that'd be perfection....I love the long one piece headlights

 

It's a sexy car though.

 

Hawt. But I'd only drive it to and from safe, garaged places. Kinda useless then

 

A car like that will be stolen before you know it. The engine itself will bring in roughly $4-5K; for this one, since it's so low mile, it may net around $5-6K easily.

If I had the money, I would buy it just to store it and be a weekend car only. It is truly a piece of engineering during that time, something we can't say about Acura nowadays.

 

Acura? What is that?

 

Wow some great memories with those cars. Ten years ago I'd be sweating like a pregnant nun trying to get the funds together to get it.

 

Apparently the previous owner got sick of people trying to steal it and worrying about where he takes it so he traded it in towards a new RL i believe.

 

I'd love to buy this, but I'd end up having some bodies on my front lawn within 48 hours. Damn thieves.

 

Last time I looked, KBB won't even give you a value on a Type R. It just tells you that there was "insufficient turnover". It's just one of those cars that is worth as much as someone will pay for it and people are willing to spend a surprising amount for one that is unmolested.

 

$15.5K?


Suite car and so clean but @ Yellow

 

If I were to get an ITR, it would be in either white or yellow

 

Champion White or Flamenco Pearl Black

 

I don't doubt that. What did one of these go for new?

 

15K thats pretty steep for the type r.

 

i seen a white one with 80k with the same asking price of 15k it's crazzy.

 

there was only one yellow ITR in NJ that i knew of... he was a former member on here with his 1G TL... this car might be his... i remember seeing it when i went down to his house to buy a few things for my TL after he totalled his car...

 

I bought mine new with 1 mile on the odometer.

 

?

it does have a type R front end...

maybe you meant the jdm front?

 

Steep.

 

What should they go for?

I just remember seeing them at absolutely inflated prices, granted this was a long time ago. Peeps on HT wanted top dollar for even SALVAGED ones.

 

 

 

^ Mid-20's, I believe.

 

I bought mine new off the showroom floor in '98 for $24,500, but the sticker was a little more. I got it for less because the salesman quoted me a lesser price, so when I went to sign the paperwork I told the manager I negotiated a cheaper price with his salesman. Needless to say he wasn't happy and the salesman was called into the office. After a little scolding to his salesman, the manager honored the negotiated price and I walked away with it for a few thousand cheaper than what they wanted (this doesn't include the $5k I put down). The original final price, after fees, etc., was closer to $30k, where I paid (before my down payment) mid-$20k for it. So after everything was said and done, I paid around $22k for a brand new championship white Type R.

^ nice. Still have it?

 

i can definantely believe that.

 

No. I only owned for a little over a year then I sold it. I was getting the mod bug bad and at that time there really wasn't any aftermarket parts for it yet, plus I didn't really want to mod it out because I wanted it to stay true and original. Although, I did lower it and threw some 17's on it, plus my buddy Shaun (rip) who owned and started Nuformz, we were talking about using it in making a prototype turbo kit for it, but that never happened, gotta keep it N/A imo.
