JDM type R

[tegstar83]

Hey all just wondering what would people pay max but also rough price for an 99 JDM R with 90-100k on the clock in good nick. also this is already in Australia and already complianced?? (theorecticaly)

[Tofu]

$26k to $28k
these things are worth peanuts in the land of the rising sun

[tegstar83]

26k???? here?? WTF!! Thats expensive, but ud think its cheaper to buy a JDM because they dont hold their value in Australia and because its an import.

[tegstar83]

Also Ive seen 2000 mdl AUDM Type R for $23k with roughly the same mileage and about the same nick. So what would be the differrence in buying JDM over AUDM??

[felixR]

JDM > AUDM =D

have you tried searching?

[tegstar83]

For what exactly what should I search 4??

hey dude! i saw a 97 JDM DC2R on www.carpoint.com.au (http://www.carpoint.com.au) going for 22k!!

guys if you really want a jdm car just live in new zealand.
they got jdm type r's, 60 thousand km's, with all the mods you want for 16k. thats converted from nz dollars.

cheap as chups.

I wouldn't pay similar or more for a JDM similar year, similar mileage dc2R. From what I've noticed, JDM dc2r's have been selling for under AUDM price although they've mostly been 96 spec. Thing with imports is you never know about the history of the car nor the true milage. Having said that, 98 specs seem really rare and would be quite tempting. Anyway buyer beware! Get it checked out REAL thoroughly by a mechanic and panel beater.

wow that is cheap as chups!

yeah thats what is was thinking as well.
But if u had a JDM spec and a AUDM spec at the same cost with similar k's what would u buy??

[Integra]

I would choose JDM if i was in that position :D

[TypeG]

yes
JDM all the way even it is more expensive but make sure to ask someone check that out for u first

[tegstar83]

oh yeah definately, also would it come up on Vic roads register and Vin no that it is a JDM spec or would it just come up as Integra type r blah blah blah??

as chi an panda say! !! USE THE SEARCH!! we covered it already the difference of jdm type an AUDM!

p.s Search Button is your bestest friend! :wave:

[tegstar83]

Umm I aware of search Ive been here long enough to see it and use it but theres is no real info on it.
And this thread was never started to compare that question.
did u even read the first post or are u just here to tell me off like some little child???

Just remember to factor in these thing about the JDM:
- You will never be sure of it's service history nor milage.
- Private imports have always been worth less on the used car market.
- Imports are generally harder to insure.

You'd be willing to pay similar money for JDM if these points don't really matter to you. To me the reward of owning a JDM DC2r is not worth the extra risk, seeing as the AUDM model is very similar to JDM performance wise.

JDM ITR is so rare thou, very exclusive I say. I recon just get it checked out first b4 u buy
