Also if you don't feel comfortable with them prices on the 3 then I would keep looking until you may see a better deal. Or why not look for a GSR if that'll be a 2nd choice...
Good Luck
Hey Chief! I know which ones are which and prefer cosmetic changes of the 98+, but the 97's are definitely more rare and harder to find (especially close to stock and accident free). Funny thing is I am at $500 difference only in my negotiations with #1 and #2. After thinking about it, #2 appears more stock and less abused, and ther are fewer chances to get screwed with it being only a 4 hour drive vs 30+ to Cali.
There is a super clean SSBP GSR in Colorado with only 58K that would save me over $4k compared to ITR #2. It has ITR seats, front and rear (jdm for the rear), too, so that makes it even more attractive to me.
but in the end, it's still not an ITR and that yearning will continue....
