type r mileage too high??

[type R racer]

1999 honda integra type r....gone 171 000ks

is the mileage too high??

[dc2dc2dc2]

normal to me
pretty much 10 years old
which means ave. 17xxx per year
which is below ave.
all comes down to how picky you are
you jsut need to remember
it is a 99' after all
not a 2005

[absolutR]

nah man, if theres log books n the car is in good nick then go have a look. get a mechanic to do a compression leakage test before u buy, that''ll show you how good the engine is. dont buy it if its at anything above 25%. hopefully if the car is looked after it won't be above 10 or 15%

However when you think about, say you have it for 2 to 5 years, you'll easily clock 200 maybe even 230. You won't be able to sell it for much, who wants a car with that high kms you know what i mean. depends if your in it for the long run man, if u love it n its gonna serve you heaps of kms of fun, then buy it!

How much is he asking if u don't mind me asking?

[neut]

If your willing to do a engine rebuild in future, why not? :)

[type R racer]

hes asking for $10,500 but im just thinking if i really want this car i should buy one with less mileage n dat i shudnt buy it juss coz its cheap

[xntrik]

daily driver mileage.

$10,500?? So cheap? Dodgey

[Nepolian]

$10,500?? So cheap? Dodgey

A reasonable price for high km car as there is not much resale!

[absolutR]

yeh but even the market value is still at $15000-16000. thats way to cheap. get it checked out by an onsite vehicle inspector.

[whtteg]

with even those km's its very cheap (is it real?) do a revs check and get your own mechanic (beg or borrow your mates mechanic if you dont have a mate who's a mechanic, dont (imo) use nrma they dont seem to check everything) and get them to crawl all over the car so you know what you will be up for (bushes clutch etc) if it works out worthwhile buy it

[Limbo]

yeah that's real cheap even on those milage.
I'd but it for that price

[vincikwan]

I'll buy it now if i find out who is selling it....better dont let me find it b4 you buy it...LOL

[ap]

keep hearing you talk about this dc2r, if you dont want it pass it over LOL

[EKVTIR-T]

If it's all good condition just get it and put another cluster in it lol

[GSi_PSi]

lol where is it by anychance....i want it!! Vti-Rs go for 12....

[vincikwan]

yeah, where is it?

[EKVTIR-T]

lol as if he gonna say where it is....

[type R racer]

too bad your in melbourne mate haha

[type R racer]

there are now two tegs in my mind
1994 v-tir integra done 170 000 ks
-jdm tuned engine(has higher compression)
-white
-Xforce exhaust system
-vtec controller
-lowerd suspension
-drives like a granny

2nd is type R 1999
-done 171 000ks
-red in colur but paint has faded
-clutch needs to be changed
-completely stock

Brought a friend along who has the ek9 type r dc2r and dc5r so thought he might know a few things haha

he says that the 99' integ type R isnt as torquey as his 2001 dc2r
so im not sure whether its coz of the mileage coz his dc2r has done only 60 000ks or whether there has been engine modifications between 99' to 2001' model

The 94' integ v-tir is pretty powerful, plenty of torque, paint is fine but its quite old.

and both going for around the same price...which one would you go for??

[vincikwan]

Tell me the locatioin of the cars so i can help u test them. Then i'll tell you which one to buy. LOL

[type R racer]

haha no can do bro

[xtat1k]

you should buy the vtir and then tell me where the type r is

[fezp]

i got my type R for 18k. with 68ks on the clock when i bought it

was some dude's sister's weekend car. now it's my everyday car.

keep looking you'll find a better deal eventually. sometimes there are really desperate sellers out there.

[type R racer]

well guys i got the car....9000k baby !! haha....nah i think 9k is good...resale value is gonna b low and the engine needs quite abit of work but yeah im getting it next week.
