most you would pay for a integra dc2r ?

Hi im new here... I'm considering buying an integra dc2r, I've noticed there is a older thread about the pricing for them but I kinda want some updated prices, In my case the person selling wants 17K. is that the norm? ive seen a couple of others they have 170+ km and all got modifications they have lower pricing around $12.5~ I guess my question is the most u would pay for a stock low km dc2r first,second owner cars now days in nsw... (also taking in account the new p-plate rules)

-ill add im looking for a stock unmolested one ;)

Like any car. It's worth whatever people will pay. But having said that, 17k seems a bit steep. Also, what are you buying it for? Daily, track etc? If you wanted something in mint condition to collect and keep forever, then I guess you'll be paying top dollar. Condition = price in my experience.

I've been semi seriously looking for a while. Really clean ones with low kms seem to be high teens and even the beat ones with 200km are over 10k.
They do seem to be for sale for a long time, so the price is obviously not what the market deems as correct.
As a non Honda guy, I'm interested to see what the long term Honda guys have to say.

I would pay up to 20k for a Genuine JDM DC2R in mint mint condition stock as rock. Like the day you 1st buy the car. If i ever find one.

I want to the be the 1st one to break her modding virginity.



Yours Sincerely,
True Honda Fan boy

PS: has to be 98+ model.

Hmm, I'd prefer a trashed to shit one, then do a k-swap ;)

it would be a weekend car... and where do u think the cut off is?

I dunno, I wouldn't go above $14k, but I guess you get what you pay for. And remember the advertised price is rarely what the seller will take, so bargain them down :)

car is worth as much as someone willing to pay for it

you can import low km early model ep3 for 16k mark

Why would you want an EP3 over a DC2 though?

Im also interested in pricing of DC2's DC5's. Are JDM DC2's more desirable than JDM DC5's in Australia?

In my experience AUDM is usually more expensive as they can have full service history etc. As for price. Just check the for sale forum and car sales dot com dot au :)

ep3 better coz of year made


jdm dc5 very rare item in australia so its a bit of a wildcard,could bring good coin with the right buyer

but in general dc5r didnt build the fanbase as other models have..

cos better condtion than what we have here and closest thing the dc2

I bought my dc2r for 13.5k with 108xxx kms full log books black red recaros 01 model.

Interior exterior and engine was immac. Had one dent on the body.

Stock as a rock.. I sold it later on with 128xxx for roughly the same price.

I guess anything under the 130, 000 kms is worth while looking at.

Personally though I'd only be paying 14-16k for something with <100xxx kms.

Hope this helps

I paid 30k for mine

When there are almost no unmolested ones left the prices will go up.
If you want a good one pay the price.

Strong agree, but thats when?....the cost of holding on to her.

Heard of a term called Opportunity loss?

And the chances of finding one that's worth keeping is pretty pricey venture and very risky.

Yeah right I said that about my XU1 Torana many years ago when I sold it for $6k the current owner has it insured for $100k.
My Integra R has 21,000 klms on it and is never for sale.I enjoy it too much.

wouldn't pay anything more than 10k for one with <150kms with straight panels and good paint.

Opportunity loss mate.

You took an opportunity to gain something in the short term to loose in the long term.

It also works vice versa.

Life, its funny isnt it?

Will the DC2R become a sought after car as the XU1 Torana though? GM doesn't exist anymore and now Holden won't exist anymore in Australia. The Torana will never come back, the DC2R was replaced by the newer DC5R and then? Honda is still around, they might make a newer Integra one day. The 240Z by Datsun was a cult classic too, but prices for them haven't reached the status of the Torana.

eh no luck thus far, cant get them to come down to 16k !! although im looking at the best of the bunch. and the ones interstate will cost another 1.6k to get rego'd here. :L

I'm in the same boat. I sold my (genuine VIN) A9X Torana for 10K in the 1980s and thought that I was doing pretty damn well - now I wish I'd kept it!!! A guy I used to hang out with then sold his Phase 3 for 20K (after rolling one and being rear ended in another)... I try not to think about how much that is in today's money that slipped through his fingers. I'm not convinced that speculating on car values is a worthwhile practice but damn there some "if only" stories out there.

I bought my DC2R a few years ago and paid over the current prices for it. The condition was worth it but I hate putting kms on it or leaving it in a car park.

A big thing to consider is not how much to pay for one but how much can you insure it for? I have to fight with my insurer every year as they want to drop its value, yet my "new" 1990 E30 318is with mods didn't make them blink when I wanted to insure for 10K WTF. No point in spending 16K on a DC2R if your insurance company wont insure it for that amount or drops it dramatically after 12 months. Be very aware of what the "agreed amount is both on taking the quote and for the future.

I don't think so. Or at least not for another 20 years. The XU1 has Bathurst links from the 70s as does the A9X, GTHO and Charger. All built in Australia by Australian "icon" companies and are part of a tradition. Raced by well known Aussie household names. That gives them a huge boost with those that grew up watching icon names racing them and to give you an idea, you grew up with these things on the street and you loved them. The people that bought back into their childhood did so because they were cashed up baby-boomers and Gen X. The DC2R, DC5R and S2000 don't have that Aussie pedigree and never commanded the "wow" factor of a WRX/GTR/Evo. Series 1 RX7s and Jag XJS are in the same boat and they were raced at Bathurst etc (and won) but just aren't desirable as not Aussie and not "muscle".

Another good comparison is the CRX - they were raced (anyone else remember the Leyton House CRXs challenging Supras?) but not in the big races and not Aussie steel therefore not desirable enough to get people to hand over stupid money.

DC2Rs are niche, for people that like a well balanced car. But it has no real culture or heritage in Australia.

yeah 12.5k is most i can get a dc2r insured for... i dont see the point anymore in spending 17-18k for one interstate then spending another 2k to get it registered plus another 2 k for rego. 22k all up, and if i **** up or someone ****s me over im 10k out of pocket. and it will be at least another 10-15 years before the car starts any appreciation, as for the crx's the sir ef8 versions have gone up in value.
