I saw a 2000 black ITR w/ 45000 miles sell on eBay tonight for $15K.

Edmunds lists the cars around $13-14K.

NADA lists the cars around $18-20K.

Most 2000 ITRs in AutoTrader seem to be above $20K.

Has anyone else sold/bought a 2000 ITR lately? What is a realistic expectation for a low-mileage stock vehicle in great condition? :?:

 

my friend just sold a 00 py itr with 35,000 miles and a aem cai, dc jdm 4-1 headers, and apexi exhaust for 17,500.00 car had clean title no accidents, eveything else besides i/h/e was stock. also came with stock air box, exhaust manifold, and exhaust. car was clean inside and out.
i do see alot of people still selling type r for 20,000.00 or around that area. but they arent selling fast. same old ads on auto trader.
i think around 17,000.00 to 18,500.00 is fair for a 00 type r with decent milage.

 

I sold my 00' PY Type R for $20,500 in Apirl. It was in MINT condition and all stock except for an AEM CAI. It had just turned 30K miles when I sold it, and I put on brand new tires as well. I also had the trunk mat and a few other little "extras" to go with the new owner. It was extremely clean, as I take good care of my cars. I would expect to see the same car for sale in the $18-19,500 range now. I'm actually thinking of buying another Type R. Now that it's gone, I miss it more than ever and wish that I had kept it.

 

sold my 2000 PY R with 31,000 miles in May for $19,800

 

I bought my FBP 2000 in September with 23000 miles for 19,500. All stock +alarm and pedals

 

Damn, I feel I got ripped sometimes :? I bought my '00 Phoenix Yellow in DFW, TX, for $21,450 and she had hail damage (not visible; was fixed under insurance by the previous owner) and a clear title. I bought her from an Acura dealership though which accounts for the slightly higher price tag. Nobody else in the area was selling one though and I looked for a month.

 

I bought my black 2000 r with 22,500 miles last july for 19.300.
It had two small dings that you couldn't even see(fixed) and a white scrape in the front spoiler, visible, but fixed...the price is worth the ride.

 

Just my opinion, but I feel that, with such a low-volume, specialty car, there is no true price guide; just general guidelines. It's the OWNERS ie US, who decide what we will buy and sell these cars for and therefore WE decide the true value of the Type R. I just don't think the R should depreciate at the rate of a regular integra and if you, the owners, who really are in the drivers seat, don't agree with that then that's the way it will be.
Of course, that's good for us owners and not as good for prospective buyers! Just something to think about.

 

Joe, I agree to an extent. Yes, the Type R is a rare car, and thus more valuable than a regular integra or other cars. So yes, we sort of do set the value of the car for buying and selling. At the same time, there are some sellers out there who are asking way too much for their car. I'm sorry, but if your car is a year or two old, you should not be trying to sell the car for the same price bought new or more. I've seen plenty of people doing that. So even though the Type R is a rare car, you should still be realistic when trying to sell it. So at this time, Finding a 00-01 Type R in the $18-20K range is more realistic than anything more than that.

I actually got an awesome deal on my car because I bought it online (www.greenlight.com). :lol: It was a brand new Type R, from the dealer with only 12 miles on it. And I paid $22,714 for the entire car including tax, tag and title! I'm one of the few people that got such a deal, as the internet company didn't offer this ultra-low price (selling below invoice) for long. In fact, I think only two of us got that deal and we both bought our cars within a week of each other. The reason the price was so low is because Greenlight sold cars in bulk (they are now Carsdirect.com). And since the company was new, they were willing to sell cars very cheap (you could have gotten a 00' Honda Civic Si for $16,250). The way it worked was I was guaranteed my price of $21,500, and Greenlight paid the difference between that and the actual price of the car at the dealership ($24,790). So basically, Greenlight gave me an additional $3,500 toward the purchase of my Type R. Now that was a once in a lifetime deal, and I couldn't pass it up. I only wish Greenlight was still around, as Carsdirect doesn't offer those types of deals anymore.

 

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!
