How much would you pay for a DC2R?

**hondapop** · 31-10-2011 02:13 PM

If you're the sort of car enthusiasts that most of us on here would be, you can't consider it to be an investment (you'd have to put it in secure, deterioration proof storage to do that). We're classed as hobby enthusiasts, and all hobby's cost money (usually lots), so you just have to grin and bear it and be committed to the idea. Where we all fall down is that we change our minds and decide we want a diiferent or better car and that usually involves selling up to fund it, or because we can't keep it for one reason or another.

So enjoy what you spend, it's keeping you out of mischief.

In the late 80s I sold a genuine certified Torana A9X for 5K. If I knew then what I know now...

Old boss had an A9x, 308, 4 speed, roll cage. Ran on Avgas. absolute monster.

Sold it to some douch in 02 for 30k. The douch obliterated it at the track.

Classic = 25 years
Vintage = 50 years

DC2R and CRX SiR (woohoo) will continue to be known as true sports-orientated beauties. The less there are, the more the value will eventually rise.

I saw an ED9 sell for $13,000 because it had 70,000 original KMs and was in 100% perfect and original condition.

Glad you think that way, if only it were so......

. I've driven gsi vtir integras, vtir preludes dc5s and ek4s and dc2r is still my favourite driving experience it is so width it when you compare to some of these other models..

And indie.. Have you driven one.?? Take one out after your vtir and I thing you will completely change your mind..

I drive a GSi, not a VTi-R.

I haven't driven one, I have only been driven. They are good street cars, but I wouldn't spend what people are asking on one.

oh then bro please take one for a test drive..

i have driven GSi's and had fun but the driving expierience is uncomparable to an R.... the feel of a type R in comparison is epic
i think you will change your mind as soon as you hit vtec for the first time in a type R

♪ it ain't a tight car if it ain't a type R ♪

vtec is goot, but seems like its overrated.

LOL

it's not that good....

Nah the vtec by itself isn't, but as a package the type r is awesome and a completely different experience.

Offtopic but Indie, I've read a few of your posts and I don't get these fantasies you have about rear wheel drives and Nissans like the s14/15. Have you driven these cars? I used to own a s15 and sure it was a great car, but the dc2r is just as good imo and easier to drive fast. My mate (who owns a s15) and I also agree there are plenty of roads around where the dc2r would clean up the s15
