1997 INTEGRA GS...A good buy? (PICS INSIDE)
Hi Guys,
I am going to purchase the following car for $6900. I test drove it the other day and it is a pretty sweet ride. Oh ya...it has 81k miles.
The body is 98% straight. I only noticed one small ding on the driver door, and a paint chip on the rear fender.
The engine compartment is fairly clean.
The damn car is very loud though. I think I may need to replace the performance muffler with a stock one. When you are in the car, you can feel the resonance of the exhaust...kinda cool, but also kinda annoying.
The other issue that I did notice was that the ABS and the SRS lights were on.
It looks like he added larger rotors to the car. Could this cause the ABS lights to turn on?
Also, it seems that they had taken off the door panels before to install speakers and the arm rests have wrinkles in them.
How much would it cost to replace door panels?
Here is what the car is coming with:
-- ** DC sports 4-1 ceramic header ** Tanabe racing medallion exhaust. ** AEM cold air intake ** Random technologies hi-flow catalytic converter (50 state legal) ** Centerforce stage II clutch & lightened flywheel with only 1,500 miles on driven on it. ** Tokico 5-way adjustable shocks ** Skunk2 adjustable coil overs ** 5zigen 17" copse rims (hyper black color) ** Power Stop Cross drilled and slotted rotors all wheels - only 1,500 miles. ** Hawks performance brake pads all wheels - only 1,500 miles. ** Earls braided steel brake lines all wheels - only 1,500 miles. ** BFGoodrich G-Force Tires ** Sparco torino racing seats-Brand New ** Sparco sportsman 4-point harnesses ** Skunk2 Short shifter ** Momo Shadow shift knob ** Rear Spoiler ** Windshield newly replaced. Runs very sweet, moves on a rail, and looks so fine. ** No backseat. ** Buyer will provide their own stereo and security systems.

Hmm...better for cheaper?
I have been looking for over a month and this is the best I have seen thus far. The KBB value is $9k.
Do you have any examples of 'Better and Cheaper" that I can refrence to?

The seats alone are worth $1200, they are brand new, and plus new tires/rims/shocks/exhaust..all that crap...
Thanks for your opinions guys!

Believe me, if I could find a stock GS-R for $5k, I would not be here right now...hehe. Most of the GS-R's I see in the $6k range are Salvaged, or they have been abused like a motherfckuer.
In any case, how much HP do you think this car has now...with the AEM intake/headers/free flow cat/Tannabe muffler?
It feels fairly quick and strong throughout the RPM range...a fun car to drive!
Thanks,
Tommy

I guess you have to know people to get good prices. Right now I hae a friend in the process of selling a gs-r with a 98 jdm itr swap, 5 lug conversion, APEX'i header and APEX'i gt spec cat back, MSD 6AL, APEX'i super AFC II, Tein coilovers, Mugen sturt tower braces f/r, Skunk2 stage 3 cams, Mugen valve springs....... there are a few more parts to the list but hes only asking like 5k. I don't know if thats for me or a price for all, but I'msure it's all.
