wow... so jealous right now lol, dealer was off his boat making all that cash for a crumby car. im missing out on vtec AND FKN NO STICK SHIFT
Yeah looks is ok, can't complain... but it's a bloody turtle! And i don't know if it's worth doing minor mods like CAI and exhaust, i've got the cash for it but it's a gsi afterall =/
How much do you reckon i could sell it for 2-3 years down the track? I'm guessing it will still be <130,000kms
My brother has a GSi. I got him a cheap CAI. We also bought a new XForce header and a second hand Fujitsubo Power Getter with Magnaflow cat already bolted on for $700 or so. Car goes really well IMO. I wouldn't get too upset about it being 'slow'. Honestly there are slower cars out there...
Now although you didn't get the best price, you have to consider how many people are over pricing there GSI integras and vti-r models like come on you got a facelift model which is great!! If you were to do anything to the car I wouldnt modify it as an automatic however if you got a job and were keen on making yourself a good smooth clean ride I'd be looking at swapping the transmission into manual as your engine doesn't go to badly without the vtec however nothing compares to a vtec motor.
If the body condition is good then mate you got yourself a good enough deal as most 98 model cars r rat shit on the body
So don't be to hard on yourself facelift dc4's or dc2's are not easy to find at a low price

....... For a 98 vti-r to sell at this cheap price u gotta admit you either have your lines crossed? Didn't do a revs check and have been sold a repairable write off and the only people who got haggled was the dad? The engine must be on the way out and the owner knew it? Or the paint work is tossed around and buggered + the green is he'll yuck IMO
Also a dealer knows his prices and wouldn't sell a car under budget unless they knew it would not sell at all :/
