Thank you. :clap You have to look at it from a financial aspect too, its a special interest collector vehicle that is obtainable by most. I’d love a Murcielago, chances are that dream will never happen, so the opportunity of possessing a low build number, rare vehicle becomes that much closer to reality with the R. After 2001 there was never another “Type R” Honda of anything in the US, chances are there never will be either. One of these days I’ll find a 97/98 or even a black 00/01, I’m just going to keep dreaming… ---

So who drives a car 819 miles and then decides not to drive it anymore? I could almost see 100 or less miles but 819 is a weird number. ---

Its not like people here are saying its the coolest car ever, or that its price should be appealing to everyone. Just making clear that its a rare, well built car…not simply an integra with a wing an some type r stickers. ---

I guess my outlook on a collectors item is a little different than you honda fags. It may be a different car and it may have only 320 made that year, but its not something that is a collectors item. It is a collectors item to honda boys but if you take an average person and ask them which car is a collectors item, the 1953 vette of a 1997 integra, i would say that 99 percent of people would consider the vette a collectors item and the integra something that they see everyday ---
