That IS a once in a lifetime deal, natedogg. Awesome. I knew the gm of the dealer I bought my '98 from, and all I got thrown in was a set of locking lug-nuts, and something else, ?floor mats?. Otherwise it was sticker, and paying sticker was something very foreign to me, but I did it without a second thought. Good job on your purchase! Admittedly, tho, I suspect that somewhat tempers your feelings on selling prices.
Asking sticker or over a year or 2 later is indeed unrealistic, - and I've never seen THAT level of foolery for a 'R' - but I think we as owners should keep in mind what this car is and keep its value at as high a level as possible.
As with any car, the best financial way to buy a Type R is to find a year or 2 old creampuff and let the original owner take that initial purchase hit. We pay a lot for that new car smell!
