I found a 98 ITR to buy, but I believe the guy is asking way to much for it. It has low miles on it ( 34k) but he is asking $19,000 for it. The NADA retail price is $14,825. Do you think he will budge on his price? Any tips?

IF HE KNOWS WHAT HE HAS, HE WON'T BUDGE, IF HE'S JUST SOME DORK WHO BOUGHT AS A COMMUTER CAR YOU GOT A SHOT. SHOOT FOR A RIDICULOUS PRICE THEN LET HIM COUNTER OFFER.

$19K is a lot for a 98 regardless of mileage. Depending on his locale, he may be able to get close to that (left or right coast), but if he's in middle america or some rural spot, no chance of getting that for one unless someone buys it and has it shipped. A 98 in Ohio with that price would never sell. I'd find a price you're comfortable with, offer it and see what he says. He can always call you back if he can't find a buyer for what he wants. Besides, as rare as these cars are, good ones still seem to pop up from time to time, so keep checking the AutoTrader, ebay, Honda-tech, ITRCA, etc until you find one that's priced more affordably.

East Tennessee about 45 min from NC. I bought this car from a guy in Gastonia in 2001. It wasn't supercharged then. It still has an NC emissions test sticker in the front window.
