Discussion before purchase

I have the money to get me a Type R now, which I've always wanted.
At the moment it's very hard on deciding price.
Everything else should be okay as I'm after a 100% stock Type R.
I seen a few 2000 models with around 60,000-80,000k's for $24g other one was $25,300.
The price looks about right? am I correct.

Also I saw a White 1999 model in the trading post quoting that it was a rare find, is it really that rare to get a white one with red recaro's and the white rims? well it was going for $24,990.
But to bad it was sold so quickly before I could even take a test drive or look.

But at the moment I have a friend of a friend selling his Type R it's Yellow, though his unsure of the model but its done about 108,000k's and his asking price is $22,000
Is that a good price with that many k's? excluding whatever condition it's in for now.

I am sure that this topic has been covered a million times.
The K's aren't the most important factor. Get it checked out by a mechanic who knows a bit about the Type R's. SOunds like a good price, as you won't have to change a timing belt for awhile ($$$$).

kms are not THAT important, but they are usually a deciding factor on how much the car will sell for. keep that in mind.

Is there a reason why theres so much black type R's for sale?

[type one]

[Spinout]

I probably get this 2001 model dc2r for $25-26g done 70,000k black and has red recaro's I negotiated from the price of $28g.

[supernatural]

[Spinout]

If i'm happy who should I get to check the car? I heard NRMA don't know shit about sports cars.

[supernatural]
