Im in the same boat as milkman right now. I either want a 4-wheel drive truck like a tacoma or colorado or a small sporty car. Ive made plans to buy a 2001 Integra GS-R in mint condition with only 39K miles for 12,500 but Its about a grand over blue book so I dont know....

I also just found an 02 Audi A4 1.8T with 56K miles for an asking price of 14,900. If I can get that down to 14000 I think Ill go with that but my mom thinks insurance will be higher then the integras. Would it? Im a 21yo male btw....

I cant seem to find any trucks... :(
Does the GSR have any mods done to it? If it does that can also be why its more, some places/people try to get more just becuase they added or modded things. My friend just bought an Integra-GSR for 11,500 its a 2000 I think its got 50-60k something miles on it with slight mods done - its very nice though. They always go for more. If you live in orlando area there is a Type R for sale thats 16k..
 
No its stock and IMO that actually raises the price because a modded car usually means its been dogged out and driven hard. Im far from Orlando unfortunatly. How often do you guys see integras down there. Up here ( in Louisville, Ky) they are not common. Hell in the past week i have purposly been looking for them on the road and have only seen one!

You're right, aftermarket modifications will usually lower the value of the car.
It makes the market for said car smaller.
 
I really think Im lucky to find this Integra GS-R. Its been adult driven by one-owner, never modded and near mint less then 40K miles. Hell the car isnt even used in the winter. Actually its only been drivin twice this year!

Rally, the car is in Indianapolis, Lebanon actually but we are meetin in Indy, are there any good LFS I should check out while Im up there?

Sorry if Im hijacking the thread milkman!!!
 
lol in orlando more people look for modded cars they even have a used car place here specifically for them, its the "cool" thing around here I guess so usually they seem to cost more. I was pricing cars or more so hondas and I noticed the ones with more mods always cost more. Id rather buy a clean car though. Anyways integras are very common and integra gsr are decently common and there are actually quite a few type r's that roam around here also.
