The Acura dealer in Burlington VT I remember had one on the lot, a guy that lives close by down here ended up buying it and I was told he drove it to Mass. one day and someone liked it better than he did 😢 But you are right, even brand new buyers were paying sticker price or more for one. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/1997-integra-type-r-819-miles/248480)._
