what sort of price did u pay for your Type S?

[aa@uow]

Hello people, i am now here and have some questions about the Integra Type S, i am sure some of you gentlemen/ ladies can surely help.. :D

One of my friends has decided to buy a brand new Type S in a very short time. we've been to a few honda dealers and the best price we r offered is $44000 drive away.. one problem is that my friend wants to get a red one but all dealer said the same thing that there will be a 3 months wait for a red one to be shipped here from japan..... :(
Mind telling me how much did u pay for ur Type S and which dealer did u buy the car from? happy experience or bad?? anything i should tell me friend to be ware of before and when my friend is buying the car.

Thankyou mate!

[blubber]

Carsales.com.au says rrp for type S is $42,990 +onroads
IMO $44,000 driveaway would be good deal

[_CiVIC_]

I got my typeS at $42,990 from Peter Warren in Warrick Farm Sydney. My brother works for Peter Warren, that is why we didn't have to pay the on road costs i.e stamp duty, tax, registration and so on.

43.5k for me.

Shop around man.

[aa@uow]

people, thanks alot for your reply!!!

hey, Dark138, mind telling me when did u buy your Type S and how long did u have to wait to have your car driven away from the dealer?
Do u personally know someone who works there or you just walked in and got the bargain? $43000 does sound like a good price for a brand new Type S.... :rolleyes:

thankyou..

[RyDC5S]

Thats like 10 bucks more for rego + onroad.

[vupham]

Got mine milano red 2nd hand for $40000 from NSW for $40000 + 1200 for rego and transfer to QLD so $41300, registered in december and bought it on august so it was about 8 months old with 23000km, yes alot of km!!

When i asked around for a brand new one in QLD, They quoted $47000 drive away but i think they wouldnt go any lower than $43000, especially in some colors. One dealer was willing to negotiate for under $43000 but it was for an orange one only and it was in stock so..

yeh that,:thumbsup::) My friend got the same deal. he just rocked up. Had to wait 3 months though

[Omotesando]

If the DC5 Type S stock's RRP is $42,990 plus onroads, etc,. then you should not pay more than $426,00 for one. I know it can be gotten for $42,390 (or less) but you will have to know how to bargain with the manager, forget about the sales person.

Usually Honda sells cars at a few hundred below their RRP, and a fair few thousand dollars below their Drive Away Price. Same goes with most other dealers, but from experience other dealers give better discounts.


Also not sure if RED Type S has metallic paint, if it hasn't, then it is suppose to be around $270-$300 cheaper on paper. In reality, you could squeeze another $100 off the price!


Good luck, keep us updated..

i got my Type S, magnesium metallic, with tint and matts, from Larke Hoskins Rosebury NSW

ex-demo, $39 500.

I got my brand new Type S, Magnesium metallic, Tint, Mat, 5 Years Extanded Warranty + 5 years Road side assistant, 12 month rego, 3rd party insurance, dealer delivery and stamp duty from Honda Eastwood NSW for $43,400.

[aa@uow]

guys, thanks so much for your info n comments.. my friend has finally ordered a brand new Type S for $43200 yesterday.. we thought it was a bargain b/c most honda dealers couldn't find one red type S for him but honda eastwood could. my friend has been given the VIN number of the car already n the car is in Victoria at the moment so my friend should be able to pick the car up within a month time :D

[dark138]

it was brand new, my gf bought it from a friend's friend
waited 3 days for them to take the car out of the plastic bag, detail, contract etc.

took it with 5kms on the clock

[vupham]

dont you love type s, i find it is a better car than the dc5r overall in looks, confort and performance. Im pretty glad they brought in the type s like the way it is but they should continue to bring the type r so people can make thier choice either luxury, type s or type r.

[Boostzor]

$43k from honda north in osbourne park. Nice place good ppl. No complaints, apart from a rattle in the steering column that they said didnt exist, i disagree.

2.5month wait for black.

I like the new type s, the more i see one the more i like it. Its not a boy racer looking car, small decals instead of the big R sticker etc. Its a better car for everyday use, thats for sure. Its quiet, a modern car feel compared to the R, well to my dc2r anyway.
My mate got a quote from hornsby honda, $44k driveaway, CW, only option were the carpet mats, and a 3 months waiting list. He didn't go through with it.

$42 990 for me on-road with tints, mats, paint and interior protection :)

[EGB18CT]

Just bumping this thread up as i'm looking to purchase a type s now or just after the new year.

What would people pay/have paid for of 2005-6 Type S with approx 50-75,000km, stock (no mods)

Redbook have them going for 17-20k with 50-90,000km, is this accurate

[EVLGTR]

Thats a reasonable price, most people that would sell them with over 50,000kms @ over $20,000 are dreaming. Good luck finding one though

[18dim]

i sold my 06, one month ago, for 26k.
it had 65,000kms, Nighthawk Black,
only mod was lowering springs and a cai.

i definately wouldnt say ppl asking 20k+ are dreaming.

[EGB18CT]

shit you got a great price for that at 26k must have been mint condition. Just checked a blue one out at eastern honda wanted 23990, lets just say it wasn't up to scratch with a botchy rear end bumper accident repair/ front door out of alignment/possibly bent, didn't think a honda dealer would have been this dodgey about it trying to pass it off as ok. buyer beware.

if i cant find a decent one for a good price i may be tempted to a nc mx5 (dont really want as its lacking power)

[PG_DC5]

hey guys
i bought my one from auctions (it was repossed) for 18750 (about 21 on road after rego and insurance)
its an 05 in black, and had 94000km
its got no mods (which i prefer as i need it for long drives) and had recent servicing, new Goodyear 3000a tyres, and has passed all rta inspections, however the paint has a few bird dropping marks, and stone chips, but expected on a black car of this age
i looked around on carsales and didnt find anything cheaper

[r3ckless]

Thats a reasonable price, most people that would sell them with over 50,000kms @ over $20,000 are dreaming. Good luck finding one though

Your only saying that cos you drive a dc5r.

The Type S can be had anywhere from 21ish - 27ishk

Also please note with the k series in the type s, there is no such thing as a major service, the major is now split into 2 x semi major services; 80K and 120K. Having said that, picking upa TYpe S after 80K is going to save you money in the long run(obviosuly make sure if the 80k has been properly done)

Furthermore, the Type S is generally owned by a much more mature crowd. Myself eprsonally, whilst looking at a variety of cars have always noticed that the price Redbook has the cars price range listed, the cars on Carsales are always a few thousand above that price range.

On a side note, there are only two faults with the Type S you should look out for;
a) the tail lights - some facelifted dc5 e.g dc5's from late 2004 - early 2007/late 2006 have a weaker taillight gasket, and thus moisture is found in the tail lights.

b) the gearbox - on colder days, sometimes the 3rd gear will pop out, even though you have engaged./disengaged the gear/clutch properly. This is easily fixed by changing the gearbox oil. The service manual says to change it at 100k KLM, because the oil is so cheap, I get mine from Meekong in SYdney, $18/bottle - and you need two bottles. Its a cost effective maintaince regime to ensure the gearbox isnt under any premature wear. From this, I change the gearbox oil every 10k klm. Having said that, I also service by car every 10K klm intervals as per the service log, and perform a 5k klm oil change in between as well.

[PG_DC5]

hey r3ckless, where are u from?

i live in Syd, but go to uni in Armidale, which is pretty north NSW, so thats why I'm saying no to the mods, because i drive up Bucketts way (also known as Thunderbolts), and I'm not too keen on a bone-hard ride for a 6hr drive and a CAI where there's a lot of puddles and rain

[r3ckless]

I see, yeah well im quite careful in regards to bumps / pot holes on the road, and im actually used to the stiffness these days. hehe

I see you jsut joined dude, jump onto clubitr.com.au. Theres a fiar few dc5s on that forum now.

[PG_DC5]

yeah mate I have, like a month ago, but it keeps saying that my account isnt like active and i need to be approved, because i cant post or write on any forums

[EVLGTR]

Your only saying that cos you drive a dc5r.

I dont drive a DC5R.. I have a DC2R

I like Type S as much as anyone here (more than the wattered-down Aust delivered dc5r) but thats what im saying sellers should at least follow the redbook for a fairer price otherwise if they up-the-ante it'll become a trend just like what we see now for most ppl and im not saying all ppl.

U talk like the dc5r is dog shit... Its not, yes its not as 'great' as the jdm dc5r... But do u see ppl on nissansilvia giving so much shit to the audm silvia as opposed to the jdm silvia, or the aust delivered rx7's compared to the jdm rx7's?? No they dont...

And regarding the prices on redbook and what the general market is asking for, you should know that 95% of the market's prices are a few grand on top.

He just doesn't understand that people make-do with what they have here.
The DC5R is still a great car and so is the DC5S, i wouldn't change neither of them.
I wouldn't mind a JDM DC5R but such is life, accept what we have here!

Hahahaha, dude you're too sensitive about the issue, its just my opinion that im not a fan of the Audm DC5R. You have a Type-S & in fact you should be proud im not giving you shit, lol, ....and yes i do hear/read people giving crap about the audm silvias and i dont really care.
@WATAJK, where have you been these days my friend? auto-elect replacing you're interior map light ? lol

Back to the topic. Yes, i know about ppl's prices are a few grand above the redbook thats why wonder how that became a trend. a few does it, then a few hundreds more follows and makes a benchmark of that price.

[EGB18CT]

calm down people!

nothing modifying cannot fix too. i'm budgeting 18-23 for one in great condition (don't know if it will be enough, there was one asking for 22k which had 63k looked mint but sold) a few people asking 25-26+ 80-90k+km i think thats being a bit ambitious, cars getting 6 years old now and higher km.

anyway will see what i can find before my new job starts on the 17th (golfs are too exxy, don't like the renaults, fords, holdens, nc mx5 is tempting but the lack of power/modability of the engine is an issue but not off the cards yet same with a mini r53s, mazda 3 don't really like, and has to be a 2005+ car lowish km, mint, hmmm fussy! will see what i discover, hence the type s is ideal so far even though i would love something compact rwd but there is nothing around.

i think 18-23 sounds reasonable, 21-23 for a mint type s?

[r3ckless]

A few people who have dc5r tend to facelift their car, in doing this, its defiantely a cheaper option and more worthwhile to buy the Type S. However if your budget is in the low 20's / high teen's, dont get aType S. Its not really a bang for buck option to be honest. mods are expensive and rare to come by.

[dc2r-0636]

this one is a good catch imo.. and u can always bargain

yes i had seen that one, if i cant find one in melbourne by the new year i may fly up and check it out.

[mrntegra]

im asking $25k for mine its on car sales but if i got the right offer i would sell it(but in no hurry at all as it still got more parts coming for it).. but i think they are worth more 18-21(just my opinion)

[bungie77]

I have a red Type S in Brisbane with 80k on it that may be for sale shortly (@ the right price) if you are interested!

[EGB18CT]

^ I would if it wasnt red and in melb.

Not looking at Red (fades), Black (swirls, stone chips and dirt shows bad - not owning another black car!) and possibly the copper orange, so looks like white, vivid blue or silver atm. fussy i know.

[bungie77]

haha hey! my one red is fine, it hasn't faded at all. i just need to buff a few swirl marks out of it. and i also own a black dc5r... the paint on that is horrible at the moment... but i can't decide which one i want to keep!

[EGB18CT]

out of black or red, i'd go with red, the black is a very nice colour (nighthawke black with blue pearl) although its a pain in the arse to maintain, plus honda's very soft paint, you have trouble minimising holograms and swirls, hence id take red even if it fades although may not be too much of an issue if the car is mostly undercover.

[18dim]

a car is worth as much as you are willing to pay for it.
if you want that car, you are gonna spend the money in getting it.

in my opinion aswell, a type s integra is still worth 24-25k. thats with 50-60kms and in mint condition.
like i said, i sold mine for that, and i would pay that for one in the same condition.

overall, i see the type s as the newer model compared to the type R, and in my opinion, the S should still fetch more $$ than the Type R. No matter what the badge says. Yes i know it hasnt got that "Type R" hype name on it, but essentially you are paying for a newer and upgraded model, which justifies the extra $$.

after selling mine, i cant justify purchasing/selling an R for over 22-23

[WATAJK]

Yeah... i wonder what redbook says the DC2R sells for....
yet they RARELY go at that price... and if they do, they're in shit condition.

As another stated, the car is worth as much as your willing to pay, not what redbook says.

Back on topic, like most have said here, most people tend to sell there cars above what Redbook suggests. And that applies to most cars, not just DC5S/R, DC2R or any other Honda fan-boy and their car.

For a clean DC5S, with full service history, log books, low kms, no accidents/touchups/resprays, I'd be prepared to pay 25-27k.

Watch your language dude, i think you're the one that needs a chamomile tea. lol. Exactly what i read so what does a DC2R got to do with this topic about prices on Type-S?, what if i'll use the redbooks reference to determine the price if ever i sold my dc2?, is that breaking the rules?. dumbass

If you are unclear about the link between DC2R prices and DC5S prices, then let me enlighten you.
The example with the DC2R was only brought up to illustrate Redbook's inaccuracy as a valuation tool.
And relating back to the DC5S, potential buyers should then be aware that Redbook is not 100% accurate.

If you decide to use Redbook as a reference when selling your DC2R, then good on you. In fact I would applaud you.
But the reality is, most people dont.
According to Redbook , a 2001 DC2R is only worth 9,900-12,000 between 100k-180k etc etc.

If i think a DC5R or DC5S is worth $30,000, i'll pay it, i gurantee you that i'll pay whatever the car i THINK is worth.
Someone on ClubITR sold his white Type S, full Mugen Lip Kit with JDM Bar, bolt on mods...
I believe above $30,000.

Your car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay.
My DC5R, is Milano Red. Fresh Respray, Regularly serviced, reguarly waxed, no faults mechanically and body.
Car runs perfect and strong. Reguarly given a push to keep everything fresh.
About to have a Major Service done.

I'd sell it for NO LESS than $25,000.
Only fault is recaro bolsters that were fk'd prior to me purchasing the car.


Any young kid who owns one of these cars and sells them... If they say they baby there car, there talking shit.
But that doesn't put me off buying the car.
I'd rather pay more for a car that's got a few things here and there done that i know im going to do myself to save time & money.
Either know you know the car has been pushed, it shouldn't push you off because these cars love to be rev'd out... They just beg for more.

You're car has been resprayed, probably been in an accident perhaps and you're selling it for $25,000 ?....GTF outta here, hahahah!!!!!!!!!

Are you saying id sell my DC2R, for example, almost double the price on what it should refer to the redbook or glass' if any poor soul is willing to pay for it?, whatta load of bollocks Hhahahahaha...!!!
You're making it sound as if anyone can hike up their price and its a leave it or take it game out there....I dont blame you or anyone though, i think its a good business on how to rip people off

Are you saying id sell my DC2R, for example, almost double the price on what it should refer to the redbook or glass' if any poor soul is willing to pay for it?, whatta load of bollocks Hhahahahaha...!!!
You're making it sound as if anyone can hike up their price and its a leave it or take it game out there....I dont blame you or anyone though, i think its a good business on how to rip people off

Your are aware that the white type s that sold for that price had quality stuff done to it.

Mugen lip kit - $3k
haltech ecu + tune - ~$2.5k
and then the usual i/h/e /sussy.
ganador mirros $400 plus painting.

I noticed with you EVLGTR - u only read the first sentence and have a stab at a reply from there.

Thanks for noticing, i see that you're paying attention. lol
I also notice you're pulling shit out of nowhere, we're talking about stock Type S & perhaps if it occurred to you the OP wants it stock, where did you get all these kits and junk man?, what white Type S are you babbling about?

LOL!. While we're on your topic, some ppl think installing riced-out kits and performance part makes it an instant gold. Wake up mate, its an FF street car not a JGTC race car & maybe the first time buyers would only drive it daily around the streets. Im having stomach cramps laughing at your reply.

I hope William posts in this thread and rolls you.

Where taking about Any Type S, stock or not.
Quality, destroyed, modify'd.

People will PAY what they believe it's worth, if your dumb enough to sell your car at a cheap price when it's at good nick then your the one losing out ay?
My car got side swipped and hit in my drivers door.
No chassis damage, so i doubt that would affect the sale price of my car retard.

You said $30K for a type s and got ripepd off?

I jsut justified to you the costs involved with that $30K type S. you are a frekaing idiot, but I love idiots like you, too stupid to even realise the entire ozhodna community doesnt like you.

+1

And you know what's funny... People actually agree with him....
People who agree with EVLGTR are a bunch of retards seriously.

[r3ckless]

Grosso, I honestly dont know a single person who agrees with EVLGTR.

[ekay1]

EVLGTR people pay however much they want if they can afford it and if the car is up to that standard. Its not your call to say whether they are " dumb" or got "ripped off". If you have nothing better to say, why bother post, your making yourself sound like some immature kid. And as everyone has been saying, redbook is not a reliable source of information IMO when selling your car. You should think more before you state your theories and assumptions.

[EVLGTR]

@ekay1. I can put it this way, i suppose its up to the individual and there are variable scenarios.....for example, id say good luck to the retard who buys a $30k Type-S and 2 months later engines dead or car isnt running at its optimal (and seller says thank you for the $30K). Whos laughing now? LOL. You know what im getting at?, i dont know if you or those 3 stooges understands that concept.

[DC5.Raven]

awww boo hoo, no one likes me. LOL!
Hahahahhahaha, i just love the fact that you and WATAJK or dc5.Raven are taking this overly too serious....I still think its a rip off and theres nothing you can do about it. ..lmao.thats it though, get pumped up.. you, WATAJK and dc5 Raven need to get together and have a wank-off in a circle.

You dont seem to understand and grasp the concept of different perspectives. If a person is willing to pay 30k for the White DC5S then so be it. Personally I would not. But if someone else is, who are you to judge them?
You need to understand that the world is not black and white. Most of the time there is no right or wrong answer. Further whatever you think and any opinions you may hold may not be right. You need to let it go.
People have different opinions to you. Live with it! Your worlds not going to fall apart just because someone doesnt think the White DC5S with the Mugen kit is a rip off!

I think the major point that most people had in this thread was the fact that:
1.) Redbook is inaccurate as a car valuation tool for both buyers and sellers, and
2.) A car is only 'worth' as much as someone is willing to pay.

Besides that, we could only give general guidelines to those who have been asking this question (How much a DC5S is worth), further our own personal suggestions are largely based on personal opinion and any other biases we may have.

[Zilli]

boys settle down please... i'll keep an eye on this thread and if this keeps going i'll shut it down.. remember if you put a view up here you gotta be ready for all responses good or bad...

Agreed.
I personally would of paid $30k for that Type S though if i didn't have my DC5R and was in the market for a integra...
Due to the fact... White Type S... VERY uncommon... Mugen Lip Kit... Uncommon and looks so nice...
The modifications were just pure quality IMHO.
Worth every penny, a CW DC2R/DC5R/DC5S is always worth abit more then any other colour due to the fact there less common on the road...
Generally, you'll pay roughly an extra maybe $1000-$3000...
Thats the price you pay because you want a certain colour.

[GSi_PSi]

EVLGTR how much did you pay to the dealer for your Type-R? did you tell them redbook says there worth 10k so give it to me for that price
also dealer sales are always priced more than private sales, , so if your cliaming carsales etc are ripoff prices how on earth did you
pay for a DC2R from a dealership LMAO?

exactly.

EVLGTR, what about that skyline it says you have on ur profile?
according to redbook, thats probs only worth about 6-8k.
if you paid more than that, sorry to say, you got ripped buddy. (according to the redbook theory)

[EVLGTR]

LOL @ all the heated replies. I didnt know how easy this could get into someones head.

It was a near-new model which was almost 10 yrs ago coming out of a dealer, i had a massive discount from it due to having a relative working in the finance section of Honda Australia. Go figure. LOL!!!!

Back to your corner please. LOL

First of all, it is highly unlikely that an engine is just going to die in 2 months. Where did you read of someones type S engine dying within 2 months? The car is worth what the individual believes what its worth, that is all. Redbook is only going to get you so far into low balling a dealer or selling your car for a ridiculously low price. Dont know why your calling others stooges when your the one making up crap and making up your own concepts which no one follows.

Agreed with GSi, it is very rare to find a dc2r under 10k which is in a decent condition, plus as he said, dealers jack up the price more than private sales. Decent dc2rs go from around 13k+ easy depending on the individual and their care. Got no idea how you got your dc2r

[civic_]

30K for a type s? yes its alot of money to be paying for a type s...BUT consider the mods that have been done to it; full mugen lip kit, ce28ns, type r wing + shaved type s stock spoiler, ohlins coilovers, mugen pedals + visors + labour and paint costs if you were to buy a type s and do these mods to it its going to end up costing you ALOT more than 30K...also consider this if the owner sells the car a few years later for 18-20K and parts out the car the mods are easily worth 5k as they are RARE and highly sorted after parts so in total if the car was sold for lets say 19k in total the owner will receive 24K so he loses 6K...now consider someone who buys a brand new car and they sell it 5 years later they are going to lose in most cases ALOT more than 6K my point is a car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it and in the end most of the time you get for what you pay for...if something is cheap it is cheap for a reason or vice versa so stop being so narrow minded...

Hahahaha...highly unlike but plausible as well as other mechanical failures not only in two months & could also occur within a yr. Ive read major and minor problems of a "car" after moron #1 purchasing it from moron #2 (private seller) who discreetly hides the damage under a rug, that scenario is common than you might think, so dont be naive and turn a blind eye on it.
It makes sense that most guys say in this thread would say "The car is worth what the individual believes what its worth" because thats what moron #2 wants you to believe and that charlie brown is how to up sell and rip moron #1 off. LOL!
Another point it is, be careful of what you're purchasing, if you believe its worth that much then jump at your own risk. Buyers have desires till their hearts are fully content and that is a weakness sellers could actually exploit. No one has to believe me at the end of the day, thats why i just find it hilarious in here. hahahahaha. Apologies for calling them 3 stooges, sorry if i didnt include you if thats what you're trying to say?

[EVLGTR]

@civic_ fair enough i respect your opinion BUT let me ask my friend, If you put mods to a car how do I know how its going to run? Any reason why you've modded the car? any reason why youve added, let say, over 10K to it?. Let say im a buyer that would only need a street daily-driven car (Type-S is a perfect example), i ask myself why do i need these mods when it isnt going even to enter a rally, gymkhana or a touring championship series. lol...... $30K for a Type S, disregarding the mod, its breaking my heart

[WATAJK]

Considering the Type S looks very BLAND, (no offense Type S owners) compared to the Type R, the Mugen Lip Kit, gives it a very Aggressive look, changing to a set of CE28's just make it look even meaner especially when the offset is perfect...
You do know what CE28's sell for??
The point is... the person who buys the car, is saving money because if he choose to the same Mod's, it'd cost him a bloody fortune...

Your wrong in everything you say.
The K Series are one of the best motors in the world, very rarely have they ever failed an owner apart from Hydrolocking or mis-shifting..
I HIGHLY doubt the car would just die in 2 months... god your a retard... i swear you are... You talk such crap.

[GSi_PSi]

Why are you guys wasting your time with an ignorant individual? obviously he has nothing better to do with his time, so he goes into threads and expresses his stupid opinions which dont hold any value so he can create conflict.
Honestly guys dont waste your time, isnt this thread about how much people have PAID for their Integra Type-S not a discussion on how much it is WORTH.
People are going to advertise their property for whatever amount they want , if individuals feel the need to go rant at how stupid they are for how much they think its
worth then why dont you go directly to them and voice your opinion.

[ekay1]

i guess EVLGTR is just not INTO the whole car scene like some of us here are...most of us in this forum are car enthusiasts an easy way to sum that up is we treat our cars like human beings..the whole price hiking thing doenst just apply to cars it happens and its just how things are...if people are in demand of something then the price is going to be higher if all integras that are for sale are all black and one white one pops up then the white one could be sold at a higher price because its "rare" and a popular colour amongst us (general example, colour is up the individual, but im just saying) and people obviously want the best price for their cars so it comes to how much you want the car and how "Rare" it is do you want to be different and stand out of the crowd or be the same? how many mugen kits + ce28ns have you seen on a white type s? ive only seen 2 jdmyards one which will never been seen on the streeet as it is a track car and the one the was mentioned here...and as for the condition of the car im sure u can tell if the car has been treated well or not and things like this can be backed up by full service history, state road inspections, revs check, etc...which people obviously do before they purchase a car...im sure u can tell if a car has been treated properly or not and you take a mechanic along to double check etc...having ssaid that hondas are one of the most reliable cars out there

he's a idiot from boost cruising... wouldnt expect any less lol

[EVLGTR]

@WATAJK yeah and you're a moron that gets left behind vtec'ing....that i wouldnt expect any MORE. hahahha.

At least its an equivalent to a good deed when selling your car cheap, if you're so worried about money maybe you oughta work hard mate. Losing a few grand doesnt hurt to save up in time (thats if you know how)

@ekay1 You're still young perhaps theres too much fast n furious culture in your head, there are obligations in life other than what your heart desires.

Alright fair enough, you dont work hard at all....i see...that further makes sense everytime your car (which was probably purchased for $30k by mummy and daddy) has a simple electrical problem you take it to an "auto-electrician" LOL!!!. Such a lucky rich guy :)

so whats the price going now days for a type S?

[PG_DC5]

so whats the price going now days for a type S?
im probably the latest guy on here to get one (in october 2010)
if u didnt catch my post before mate, i paid 19 grand for my 05 type S, with 94k on the odo, and its black. it didnt come with a service history though, but got it checked, and it had been serviced properly, just no records of them.
i got very lucky but, because mine was from auctions (it was a fleet car from canberra), and looking around, they were around 21-24grand for the same km and colour etc

runs like new still :)

I forgot the website, i used to have it. u can check when, where, what for if a previous owner has ever bought their car to a honda dealership for service. Its all online, u punch in rego, vin number as well i believe. the website is honda something.

Yeah i got one the same time. Grey Type S. 96k. I payed 17 and a half, but it's rego was expiring in a couple of days. He had no log books as well, but for half it's life it was serviced at Honda, and then for the other half at a mechanic. So far it's been great. Although I think it the battery is having some problems now.

[D R U]

I paid 24.5k a while back. Grey colour, 60k Km's. One owner, full service history.

Not the cheapest, but its in great condition, bar a few marks here and there.

Also came with some Zeal coilovers which the original owner didn't install. :)
