I actually prefer the amber tails over the all red tails. I have a set of amber tails waiting to go on my '98.

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

Apparently these things still do exist. Someone just listed a '99 white on black GS-R with 70k miles on Craigslist. Never modified & no accidents. Asking $9,900. That's a bit steep. No pics.

 

^ Indeed!

I checked KBB (private party):

Excellent $6,770
Good $6,370
Fair: $5,720

 

Congrats! I just picked up a 98 GS-R 5spd in july. Tho this one may have been a bit molested, has quite a few mods on it, but so far the only issue i've had is the EVAP canister needs to be replaced. Other than that its a blast to drive, I get about 300-320 miles to a tank and have been getting a combined 70hwy/30city of 30mpg. Its in pretty good shape, some dings on the out side, but for $3500 bucks i could'nt pass it up.

 

Wow, an unmolested gs-r. Def doesn't exist in NYC, thats for sure.

 

link?

White on black is one of the most sought after GS-R's. Make it a sedan and the price increases even more.

 

^ Mine is white on black and a sedan....

Does yours have a leather interior?

 

Mine doesn't, which was perfect because that's what I wanted.

 

Damn I had a white on tan 94 4door GSR I so loved that car... but I was young and sold it in 2000 to some kid who crashed it two weeks later...... broke my soul I tell you. ;-(

 

very nice. i almost got one when i got in a wreck with my first tl. but they had just sold it..

 

nice pick up....I'm currently eye balling a 1 owner, unmolested 01 GS-R black on black. most maitenance done at the dealer. has 112,000 miles on it though

I think i am going to go look at it this weekend....maybe even purchase it.

 

I wouldn't be scared at all of 112,000 miles if there are maintenance records.

 

The more I look at these the more I think I might want to get one. As long as the timing belt has been replaced and the thing isn't completely riced out or wrecked mileage even in 130K+ shouldn't be a problem, right? Honda's were great in late 90's early 2000's. For $4,000-6,000 sounds like a great daily driver. What is insurance like?

 

Never posted pics.

Timing belt and water pump was done at 90k. Used ameliorate for oil changes. Still has the original clutch. should I be concerned about the clutch and long do they normally last on these cars?

 

I recently saw a one-owner GS-R listed with 230k miles and the guy said it was on the original clutch

 

If treated well, the clutch can last a long time.

The clutch on my CL-S lasted me 150K before I had to replace it. Just keep an eye on how much it slips and go from there.

 

Obviously a lot depends on how the car was driven over the years. If 80% of the driving was on the highway at 70MPH then the clutch wasn't used all that often even if it does have a lot of miles.

 

Nice pick up. I had a 97 CL with 190k on the original clutch so I wouldn't worry too much. I remember leaving the dealer when I got a new clutch and almost stalled haha

 

My 2000 GSR with 145,000 miles is still on the stock clutch!

 

4cruzin's Legend with almost 500K is on the original clutch. Well what's left of it, anyways.

 

Update


Well I have a few problems with the car. The radiator issue struck a couple of months ago and had to be replaced. The rear brake caliper froze up and also needed replacement. Other than that, it has been very good and runs excellent.

I washed it and detailed the interior today, which was much needed after all the driving I have been doing. It's currently at 88,500 miles.

 

"All the driving"? Didn't you buy it with 85k miles? You've only put 3k miles on it in 4 months

 

I think it just feels like a lot die to most of it being commuting to college and back 20 mins a day each way.

 

nice, it was my most wanted car back in the days except i wanted a 4dr....good job picking up an unmolested one....

 

One year of ownership as of this month. Not too many issues to report, minus replacing the radiator due to a crack in the endtank.

I just got a job working for Advance Auto Parts part-time after classes so I now have 20% discount on car parts

Currently I need to pick up an O2 sensor (2nd bank) and replace my door lock actuators, which are acting crazy right now, clicking to unlock but then flipping back into the locked position.

ABS light also came on...I'm assuming its the ABS wheel sensor but I haven't really looked at it yet.

This weekend I'm planning on fixing a small amount of surface rust that is starting to show inside the rear of the quarter panel, underneath the fender line piece. It's nothing major at all, just a quick sanding and some prep work+touch up paint should fix it.

 

one of my most favorite cars I ever owned was my 99 GSR. Enjoy that car!

 

Whoa, I was actually right for a change.

In all seriousness, sorry to hear it happen, sucks when you have to replace parts that IMHO should have been engineered a little better to last. especially when that money could have gone to mods instead.

 

Make sure to get an OEM o2 Sensor. I can't tell you how many Advanced Auto Parts/Auto Zone o2 Sensors I went through in my Civic, and they all still gave me problems. One day I decided to drop the coin for an OEM one, and it was totally worth it. Problem free.
