Buying an Integra type r

[twit]

Hi all

First up hello!!! Looks like I am venturing back into the land of Jap cars. A couple of years ago I had an FTO GPX... Now a new one is needed!

I have to replace my Elise with something a little (only a little) more commuter friendly - I.E, has a roof and I can get some stuff in it!!

I have almost decided on a ITR and I have up to 13K to spend so I should be able to get a good late one with low mileage. I have read the buying guide in EVO but wondered if there is a more comprehensive one, failing that what exactly should I look for?

Also, does anyone know of any for sale, I need to sort it pretty quick and I will have cash after Saturday...

Any advice will be well appreciated!

Might be able to source a 98 R with 23k or 00 W done 53k both in Championship White which would come in under your budget if your interested, Im at the Honda Main Dealer in Halesowen so not to far away. We also have a lotus dealer 'in group' so p/x no problem!

Send me an email - I've got a fairly lengthy check list of things to look at with Integras I can send back to you as a Word attachment. (Most of its common sense normal car buying stuff but there are a few specialist bits.)

I used to have one myself, but chopped it in for a Civic Type-R.

Also have a look at http://forum.hondarevolutions.com for just about everything you could want to know. Watch out though - they don't like people asking questions about things that have been discussed before - use the search first.

Good choice!

Hope you manage to find a nice one - i've had mine for 2 1/2 years now and I still love driving it as much as the day I bought it!
