I personally love imports, especially acuras. The majority of acura owners I know are awesome people!!! However the following story show's the darker side.
Unfortunately today somthing terrible happened, I had a Black 2001 Integra Type R w/13,700 miles, lined up for purchase. The owner said that there was nothing wrong w/the car. The only thing he disclosed was that the front end was replaced with JDM b/c of the original ten day owner hitting a curb and messing up the original. This part didn't bother me. So to be safe I had it checked out by an Acura dealership. This was all done at great effort and expense on my part, because I am in Missouri and the car was in California. My grandfather thankfully lives in L.A. where the car is and he arranged for the mechanic to look at it. Long story short when the car was checked out, it turned out to not have a passenger airbag, because the orginal owner hit the curb and deployed it, the rear view mirror was missing, and the a.c. needs $2,500 worth of work. To top it all of the valve cover had been salvaged from a junkyard. The mechanic also said that their were random nuts and bolts missing. Another random fact was that the door handels were off a 4 door model. The purchase price of this car would have been reasonable if these things had not been wrong with it. The fact that the person didn't disclose these things also makes me rather angry. I can't believe someone would do somthing like this.

Because of this, I am on the lookout for a 2001 white or black Type R w/under 20,000 miles. Any info would be appreciated. E-mail me at importfreak02@hotmail.com
