For those in market in this thread,
I'm putting my type R up for sale later this week. JDM front, fresh coat of paint, few decent mods..
PM if keen before i get pics
When I was shopping for a dc2r I got sick of looking at any under 14k, they are all hacked or dodgy so just bought one for 16.5k and is the cleanest I've seen so far with only 105000ks compared to 170+.
Heh - you don't want to see my odometer then I paid more than most for my Dc2R but I also got exactly what I was looking for. I think that's what people need to keep in mind with pricing - it's worth what you are prepared to pay, NOT what the seller wants. Most people consider 16K+ as "too much", but if you get that one car that you were looking for and it is everything you wanted then you paid the right price.
Sadly, most of the DC2Rs and S15s I looked at were what the seller thought was awesome but in my eyes was crap for overinflated prices.

The only time I made money was on my S800 which was immaculate, after receipts I think I came out 4K ahead as the car was shipped back to Japan by an enthusiast.
i payed a bit higher than the usual for mine. Agree with boboz81, the lower end price ones where dodgy. So i justified paying a bit mine for one i know i wouldn't have any regrets and it had everything i wanted in an ITR, limited edition aswell, have a look for yourselves for validation purposes:
You also need to remember fanboi demand + rareity + the RnD (voted best FF drivers car by evo mag) that went into these cars have jacked up the prices a bit.

I would KILL for your ITR. Well done man... soooo clean!
I paid $11K for mine. Single owner, female, in Canberra. K's were OK given it is a 2000 model, 160,000+ kms...mainly driven around Canberra anyway! Had full service records from Honda.
The only problem is the faded red paint (top surfaces), of course the drivers side bolster on the Recaro which I've had repaired, and some marks on the carpet.
