So, I have a 96 LS with 79,000 miles. Runs perfect and everything - but it sort of a cop magnet with the illegal tint, and I'm kind of tired trying to play games and avoid being caught. (Cops have nothing better to do around here - why don't they catch me a terrorist!!!????)Now of course the simple solution is to take the tint off, but wait theres more...

I have found a 2000 ITR, in my own town with 19,000 miles on it. It has had two owners (I know one of them) and it has been modded to some extent. He's asking 21,500. That seems high to me...is it? Keep in mind that since its in my own town, I don't have to assume the risks of eBay or buying out of town from someone I don't even know. That is the key idea here....I don't want that extra hassle. Chicago is 3.5 hours away, but still, its hard to know what you're getting into. This is the one and only type R in my city. Oh, and its yellow. My last color of choice....don't know if yellow is my style. (I'm typically decked out in black)

Now for the financials: What I pay now is ridiculously low as far as a monthly payment. I'm almost ashamed to admit it...$160/mo. (Got a helluva deal on my LS, plus I had built up equity in a 92 Accord EX for which I got an outstanding price for) If I dealt down to 20100...my payments would be around 370....is this worth it?

Also, I'm not so sure that storing the car during the winter is an option....

Thanks for your responses, I really appreciate it.
