Yea mate i saw one of the forums its a stat write off wait let me find it

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=113581&highlight=statutory+write

[pure_na]

been on carsales for over a year
written off - pretty sure it can't be reregistered but i may be wrong
seats aren't dc2r recaros
anything else you'd like to know?
oh and if he spins some bullshit about it being written off because the seats are stolen, i'm pretty sure that would be a 'repareable writeoff' whereas this is a complete write off.
i actually know about a couple of the itrs for sale atm so hit me up if you want to know about any of the interstate ones.

[SuperJDM.]

Thanks for that man my budget is around 10-15k be looking a Teg after i go for my Ls on the 28th. You got any suggestions i got my eye on that black EM1.

[CB7_OWNER]

First thing i noticed was the recaros as well.. might also mention.. it says NEW REGO FEB 2010.. which is like in 1 month.. wtf? doesnt even make sense lol

things that are usually to good to be true, are usually just that!

[noobcake]

nah man that guy prolly didnt updated his page due to the fact he couldn't sell it lol

[slimx]

15k is way to much anyway, i have a friend selling his DC5 Type R with headers and cams.. for $18k

[SuperJDM.]

Hrm says its Last Modified Date 03-Jan-2010.

[bennjamin]

Can someone please report this to the police - get this pie e of shit off our roads and this dodgy repairer out of our system

[pure_na]

for that much money i guarantee you you won't be getting a perfect one.
you've gotta decide what you will settle for and wat you won't settle for.
will you settle for scuffy paint, problems with the gearbox, high ks, no service history?
because you will have to settle for one of them

[noobcake]

Wait how would reporting the police work (no flaming just asking) cause its a statutory write off?

[pure_na]

15k is way to much anyway, i have a friend selling his DC5 Type R with headers and cams.. for $18k

that might be a very good deal BUT:
a very good condition white dc2r will sell for over 20 grand, and the fact of the matter is that it is a limited edition australian delivered car. give it about 5 years and dc2rs in good condition will be worth more than dc5rs - a LOT more

[SuperJDM.]

Yeah i know man a nice VTIR will even do for me hopefully i find one on the web somewhere after i get my Ls.

what do you guys think of that one? Ks are high but i guess you get for what you pay. for?

[pure_na]

spoke to him, saw the car, didn't take it for a test drive.
he's a very nice guy.
the car does not have the integra type r silver badge plate on the centre console underneath the car. call honda, make sure it actually is an integra type r. the engine is a b18c7 from memory (integra type r engine) but check that as well. the body was very scuffed, but as far as crashes go i'm not sure (it doesn't look crashed, but hey i'm no expert). i didn't drive it so i can't tell you anything more detailed

[CB7_OWNER]

check teh vin, matches with the engine number,
make sure all panels line up
make sure bolts have not been moved (you can see marks if they have usually)
check for dodgy resprays..

Suss all the shit out first!, if something random pops up.. like a bonnet/panel/door has been replaced. and your sure of it.. ask the seller if its been in accident or if its had any body work done. if he answers untruthfully and tries to cover it up.. then GTFO lol.

[G-Stick]

i think a few years back stat write offs were still register-able without any problems. i could be wrong.

Most cop shops wouldnt do anything about the car.

[SuperJDM.]

Will do man :D. You guys got any other suggestions or links to some nice VTIRs in my price range.

[6thgear]

a very good condition white dc2r will sell for over 20 grand, and the fact of the matter is that it is a limited edition australian delivered car. give it about 5 years and dc2rs in good condition will be worth more than dc5rs - a LOT more

you do have a point there...:thumbsup:

[xntrik]

@OP dont buy the car you originally posted nomatter how cheap it is. (Unless he sells it for like $10, then maybe.

Guys you gotta give the DC2's some credit,
its been a good 10 years for most of the DC2R's!
A little more over 10 years for the VTi-R's and GSI's

So sometimes unless the owner hardparks or doesnt drive it daily
the car's paint and panels may be out of whacked just due to daily driving
and Heat exposure, Just make sure you look it over properly!

And usually bargains are a bit suss, but sometimes are real bargains!
Just play it smart, dont be an idiot and you'll be right. :thumbsup:

[Neesmo31]

Everyone should do a REVS check on their car before you buy it anyway - youd have to be a peanut not to.

[ccmengs]

LMAO YOU GUYS! I know this guy hes from richmond, he used to go same high school as me, back in 2008 when i was in year 12 (17 turning 18 years old) he was only about 16-17 and he was already driving that integra and he couldnt drive for SHIT! i dont know how he never got caught by the cops

[SuperJDM.]

Prob explains why the car is a write off. No one got any suggestions on what i can get for 15k?

[dinorider]

You'll just have to be patient and keep looking. The thing with sites like carsales is that good cars appear and get snapped up in as little as a week, while crap cars (like that dodgy white DC2R) stay there for as long as a year or more.

I logged in almost daily and waited for close to 6 weeks when I was searching for a car on carsales before a decent one appeared there for sale that was good enough for my standards.

Under $15K you can get a good 1999-early2000 DC2 VTi-R, as long as the seller doesn't have some delusion of grandeur. There are still clueless/greedy people trying to flog DC4 GSi's for more than $10K.

[jen137]

Just adding to what someone said earlier- info from the vicroads site:

Statutory write-off
A vehicle that is recorded as a statutory write-off after 1 May 2002, cannot be re-registered and the vehicle identification number (VIN) cannot be reused.

A vehicle will be recorded as a statutory write-off if it is a total loss and so severely damaged that it should not be repaired. Only certain parts from statutory write-offs may be used to repair other vehicles.

[SuperJDM.]

Im thinking Mrwillz EM1 or this what you guys think?

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=7823558&__Qpb=true&Cr=14&__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_PriceSort_Decimal |1||pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&keywords=&__No=15&__N=1216%201282%204294965322%204294965105%20410%20 903%201518&silo=1011&PriceTo=410&seot=1&tsrc=allcarhome&__Nne=15&trecs=57&__sid=12636B0A5111

[pure_na]

for 2 grand more than mrwillz em1 you can have yourself a black dc2r - and there's a few to choose from

[SuperJDM.]

Would you be able to show me some?

[DC2R88D]

someone should hit that white ITR up for the spoon headers... if he was smart he'd part it out... probs get close to 10k lol? engine seats all interior panels ect... some money to be made.. somethings better than nothing :P

[SuperJDM.]

Any of you guys know if Mrwillz got his EM1 up for sale still? Im really keen to go check it out but his not replying.

[SuperJDM.]

Got my Ls today. Car hunting time :D.

[bbds]

go for EM1 much more rare =)

[hussLEr]

go for EM1 much more rare =)

Also, much slower than a Type R! (no offence!) :cool:


To the OP,

Have you thought about looking for a car interstate? There's a few here in Sydney going for very reasonable prices. Sometimes it's more fruitful searching outside your state for exactly what you're after; it's a purchase you'll be stuck with for awhile to come.
My mate flew to QLD, bought the car he wanted and drove 12 hours home. I guess just remember to leave enough cash left over for re-registering the car in your state!

[SuperJDM.]

Haha bbds problem is my cousin has a EM1 and ill feel weird driving the same car as him. Nice DC5R btw cousin wanted to go have a look @ it because you had willing to trade for a euro but then you took that down.

Hussler i would love to man but just came back from a road trip from Sydney and damn never wanna go on another road trip.

Buy your car + get your licence..then your mates get their cars + licence.

Road trips/ cruising will what you'll look forward to.

[bbds]

just ship it, like i did. its worth it =)

[SuperJDM.]

Nothing personal man i just prefer to buy a car in the state im in its just easier an all.

[SuperJDM.]

Im going to check this one out on the weekend because Mrwillz EM1 is pending sale :(.

Anyone know anything about it?

[sretocz]

Id be very careful with the paint, MR is known to fade, and depending on the lighting you might miss that shit.

[Dostalgia]

just wanna take the opportunity to ask a question, for VTIR and DC2R are the rear seats able to fold down?

[WATAJK]

Milano Red is a bitch of a colour...
Cut n Polish doesn't fix the job... it just buffs it out, 3-4 months later the fade comes out..
If the paint is still not faded.. make sure she's either Waxed once/twice a week or garaged full time...
This will keep the paint in good nick..

[mnc]

yeah the seats fold down.

Down side is, they don't fold down flat. Close enough though.

[Dostalgia]

paint looks faded on the bonnet, personally I hate that MR colour as every1 else has said it will fade, get a yellow, black or white 1

[SuperJDM.]

Yeah went to look @ it today paint is FADED! :( bonnet roof and rear was the main issue. Anyone know how much it roughly cost to respray the whole car the same color or a different color?

[derby23]

2K, ask around for a few quotes though, might save a bit more. :)

[Chriskoss]

No point buying it then respraying, that means it'd be 16k for the car but you can get a nicer colour ITR for like 15k anyways

[SuperJDM.]

Not in melbourne.

[WATAJK]

good sprays can cost up to 7k..
decent are 3k.
anything under is generaly just prepping and respraying, not fixing dints or anything like that...

[p3akin]

my mate just bought a black itr for 14.5k dc2 with 13 on the clock... quite clean with te37s.. the one on carsales from melb

just have too look harder

[SuperJDM.]

Your joking me right? I was suppose to go have a look @ it today when the dude gets back. WOW!

[p3akin]

yep.. he wen today aswell.. his mechinic checking it out tomorrow and deposit is going to be put on if all goes well

[SuperJDM.]

Life gets worse for me every HOUR before its MRwillz EM1 now this DC2R why is god doing this to me.

[p3akin]

ill keep you posted.. but his really keen on getting it if its al good...

[SuperJDM.]

:( life sucks right about now. Tell him dont get it its ugly its slow just convince him not to buy it :(.

[p3akin]

i would really want you to buy it.. just weird me having a dc2r and him having one too lmao.. not being selfish =p

[GIPONU]

saturary write off aye...
another theory of why it is, could be cos its a rebirth.
a pretty good one where they would take everythings out of a full fked up dc2r and put it into another integra shell. then cut, grind, weld certain panels onto that integra shell so the numbers and everything would still be there.
u'd be amazed how talented some old skool panel beaters are.

[tiah313]

thats a good buy, 14.5 for that, i would def get it.

[ninzee]

superJdm dont worry eventually u will find your car, dont jump into anything too quickly because you will regret it ask any1 on this forum or anywhere.
I jumpd on a celica on my L's cause i wanted a car so badly after you find things that are wrong and not to your standards and you will always have that voice in the back of your head it sucks.
just be patient and it will work out

cheers

[ninzee]

Yeah i saw that one too but i cant live without air con not in this weather at least.

[p3akin]

my mate didnt end up buying the black dc2r.. his mechanic said theres alot of things wrong :s

[henrygiang]

my mate didnt end up buying the black dc2r.. his mechanic said theres alot of things wrong :s

did he say what exactly?

[Lil Dan]

What is the actual value of a dc2 type r these days anyway? I did a redbook value and they were valued between 11-15k yet ppl are knocking them off for 18k+ with high kms! High km's to me is anything over 100000km :D

[_bORdO_]

for a dc2 i would expect to pay anywhere between 15k-18k
anything higher should be in the dc5 range.

[RSKEbaby]

a thrashed not so good cond will be under 15k, decent cond under 18k, all depends stock stand or with mods etc.

also just because of the high kms doesn't mean the car is in bad cond, I bought mine with 150ks, and it was extremely clean.

[p3akin]

did he say what exactly?

didnt really ask.. but he said itll cost him atless 4k... im not sure what the hells wrong with it but im not going to quote him on it and bag out a car that might be fine... bcause i havent exactly checked it myself

[SuperJDM.]

Finally got a car :D Mrwillz EM1! Cant drive around yet since im on my Ls :(.

[_bORdO_]

congratz dude!

[Rivenscyr]

Congrattsss,
your lucky you got to choose.
i get my dads pajero :/
so i shall be mivec'in while ya'll be vtec'n

[SuperJDM.]

Lol thanks guys.

[Lil Dan]

Hmm a couple have been popping up the last 2 weeks in sydney..

notably a black one with 75,000km for 22k
a red one with 72,000km for 20.5k
and a modified yellow one for 19k...

think i'll wait it out till one pops up in Canberra :D at least were not subject to potholes haha.

[sae]

Potholes galore in sydney man haha
@OP argh, lucky lad. I'm saving my ass off to get one of my own, preferably a dc5r though..11 months to go:'(

[Lil Dan]

Is it just me or is there a lot of ITR owners who dream about there price...

Honest to god, some guy replied to me saying he could get 17.5k at a dealer... hmm I beg to differ.

I got offered 16k when I thinking of trading to a evo VII ;)

[Neesmo31]

What you guys thinking - 17 unresonable - or 17 not possible?

[Lil Dan]

Personally i think anything above 17.5k should have less then 100k with service history, but thats just my opinion.

[sae]

ditto
