A 1999 GSR is worth well over $6,000... the price is just too good to be true. The car would have to be in bad condition with tons of mileage (which was conveniently NOT mentioned) to be sold for that amount.
Just my $0.02.

I'm going to definately do it if my mom gets the loan and if the title is clear. I just wan't to do something to make sure he can't scam me if it is a scam.
Also this is what the license plate looks like. Anyone know if it's a license plate from Italy? License plate number was like this XXXXX, I dunno if the number of numbers on the license plate can help determine but just some more info.

1st of all, it's fugly.
2nd of all, it's fugly.
3rd of all, as others have say, besides the fact that it's a scam, integras are waaayyy too common to need to go after a "deal" like this.
why people are willing to buy a car that they've never seen in person, especially through an uber shady deal like this, is beyond me..

I don't think it's fugly at all. That bomex kit is sweet. Of course all that bling in the car will get your car stolen fast.
This deal is shady. Don't do it. If it's too good to be true, it probably is. Doesn't it strike you as weird when it's so cheap, free shipping, and all these mods are on it? I mean a stock 99GSR can be sold for at least twice that price in the states. Why would a modded car with almost $3000 in mods be half that price. If you do this deal, I will personally come to NY, find you, point at you and laugh when your wallet is $6000 lighter.
Finally, for all you noobs who are too naive to see. If you want to ship this thing back to Italy to return it to him, do you really think he'll simply take it back and give you back your $6000? He'll find some reason to give you nothing back. That is, if he hasn't run off with your money already and shipped you dick in return.
General rule with buying stuff regardless of its purpose or application is to see it, try it, and have it written and verified especially for a car. That's a lot of money. If you really really want to do this, www.escrow.com. They will be the intermediary for the transaction for a price but it's worth it.
