I have to share this. A local dealer listed a '96 Integra. I think this would be awesome, even if only to keep it from being absurdly riced. It's a special edition rather than a GS-R, but how many examples like this even still exist?

I mean, it even has the original cassette player in it. And three pedals!





I felt a need to share with people that may share my enthusiasm, or at least not just say, "a 15 year old compact car? You''re nuts."

 

Very clean, in and out. How many miles? Any accidents?

 

Not according to the Carfax (which I'm surprised they included in the listing). It even shows fairly consistent maintenance, and the car has under 75K miles.

 

Like a needle in the Pacific Ocean.

Some color combo to preserve though if that were white with black or grey interior.... I actually like the green but hate the tan. Tan steering wheels & dashboards = yuck

 

I'm probably stating the , but Carfax isn't always a good source of knowing if the car has been in an accident.

My dumbass didn't realize that the 2nd Integra I picked up was in an accident until after I purchased it, yet the carfax for the car was clear.

 

At the time, I used to love the dark purple color they had on the 97 model, but they only offered it with the beige interior.

 

Very clean! How much?

 

Thanks. I know about Carfax's holes and would want to get an inspection. The Acura dealer in the area is owned by the same company, though, so I'd want to take it to an indie. I'd have to put a few miles on it to take it to the mechanic I use for my Honda.

My thoughts on the tan interior is how clean it is, since those tend to show grime pretty easily.

As for the price, it's $7K. My first reaction is that it's very high, but when looked at as a great example of an enthusiast-oriented car, the likes of which Honda no longer makes, it doesn't seem so bad. Maybe I'm justifying too much already.

 

Very great example and my TL aspires to be like it in 15 years.
I dont like tan in our TL's, but for some reason that car's interior is turning me on.
Although, it would be extra sexy in black.

I'm very glad the owner never added anything aesthetically.

 

what is this white room of his?

 

pretty sweet, what engine does the Special Edition have?

 

agreed, very clean. i do prefer cloth seats though.

was it someone here who posted an ad from a dealer for a mint BB6 silver prelude with only ~20,000miles? man, that was mint to death, but unfortunately the price was crazy (~$20k).

 

it was here.. I thought it only had like 9k!

still had original tires and it was friggin spotless!

but still not worth the 22-24k they were asking.

this was also last year.
guy bought a type r integra from the dealer with 5K miles on it!

Way to make me feel irresponsible. The condition of that leather whips my 03's ass.

Great example though. Weren't you looking for another car, Carraway?

 

Rockstar - At least there aren't black curtains. But damn, I shouldn't have clicked that link.
invisiblewar - It has the base 1.8L I4 SMPI DOHC 16V. Made 142 hp when new. It shows a little more of its age:


Aman - Yup. And I can't find anything recently made I like. I showed this to some relatives who think I'm nuts to consider a car even older than my Accord Coupe.

 

Somewhere out there, a ricer is hitting up every family member he can find so he can buy that car and 'soup it up'. Somebody save it from going down the same road that has claimed countless others.

 

my bad, you're right. barely broken in.

 

SOMEBODY save this Integra!

it's so....beautiful! I agree with you, OP!

 

My wife's Integra when we donated it to charity in 2004, 18 years old, 241K miles, no mod's.

 

In a search for a new car for a friend, I ran across a 2001 Integra GS-R w/ 56k miles. Black on black and absolutely bone stock. Unfortunately it sold in about 2 days; probably to be riced out.

 

Just don't care for the color

 

Legend2TL - That's astounding. Given the heavy use of road salt where I live, I don't see many cars that age well.

PortlandRL and others - The likelihood of that hurts. After I saw this listing, I looked at those for other Integras, as well as Preludes and RSXs. It was not pretty. After seeing the "one of a kind" RSX with lambo doors among other things, I had to stop.

 

Update - The car was sold last night. I hope whoever bought it isn't searching for spinners.

 

*neuronbob starts weeping at his keyboard at the abuse of these cars*

Ye gods!

Legend2TL, AWESOME Teggy. I liked the next gen after that one better, but all the same, it looks like it was well cared for.

 

^ Thanks
