I found a 98 ITR to buy, but I believe the guy is asking way to much for it. It has low miles on it ( 34k) but he is asking $19,000 for it. The NADA retail price is $14,825. Do you think he will budge on his price? Any tips?

 

I JUST BOUGHT MINE IN MARCH. 27K MILES, STOCK FACTORY COMPTECH HEADER AND A NEW SET OF FLOOR MATS WITH A SPARE ITR BUMPER AND FRONT LIP. $18,000

 

IF HE KNOWS WHAT HE HAS, HE WON'T BUDGE, IF HE'S JUST SOME DORK WHO BOUGHT AS A COMMUTER CAR YOU GOT A SHOT. SHOOT FOR A RIDICULOUS PRICE THEN LET HIM COUNTER OFFER.

 

$19K is a lot for a 98 regardless of mileage. Depending on his locale, he may be able to get close to that (left or right coast), but if he's in middle america or some rural spot, no chance of getting that for one unless someone buys it and has it shipped. A 98 in Ohio with that price would never sell. I'd find a price you're comfortable with, offer it and see what he says. He can always call you back if he can't find a buyer for what he wants. Besides, as rare as these cars are, good ones still seem to pop up from time to time, so keep checking the AutoTrader, ebay, Honda-tech, ITRCA, etc until you find one that's priced more affordably.

 

Buy mine. Supercharged and only $17,500. See my ad in classifieds.

 

dude.. thats a good price.. the itr that bought and returned i bought for 19,000.. now i found a nice black one and im going to be purchasing it for about 18,000.. the only way the guy your going to buy it from will sell it to you for less.. is if he was shot in the head or doesnt know shit about the car.. I say go for it

 

i bought my 98 type r last christmas for 19000 and it had 30000 miles on it trust me that is a good price and it's totally worth it!!!!

 

Sell me your charger!

 

Thanks for the advice.

p.s. To the guy with the Supercharged ITR- where are you located?

 

East Tennessee about 45 min from NC. I bought this car from a guy in Gastonia in 2001. It wasn't supercharged then. It still has an NC emissions test sticker in the front window.
