Very misleading caR...I'm sure BAT would only fetch high 30s. No need for everyone to check their savings acct this week. Also non a/c car as well, also to note...spark plug wires seem to be non oem, surface rust on the header manifold bolt doesn't look consistent with the bolts on the radiator bracket support. Usually they are very consistent. Radiator support bolts look to be "flawless"

97 USDM Type R’s came with vin identification tags on every panel. Check the last one that sold on BAT, you will see them. I’m sure members here with 97’s can chime in and verify as well.

After hearing the updates, they’re shooting for the stars and hoping the one owner, low miles will command a big price tag. Repaint, rust and replaced panels, I hope the buyer understands what they are really getting.

I hope the buyer looks at this thread. Glad we have it tagged with Vin number and badge number. Wish those sites had comment sections.

if this car was originally Canadian, it won't have the VIN tags. For some reason 97 Cdn ITR didn't come with VIN tags. Unless someone can show me one, because I have never seen one. Also if it was originally registered in Quebec, there is a possibility of kms being tampered with. I think it said somewhere that this car was imported.

The car was registered in ISSAQUAH, WA. I went on BAT and all the 97 models I saw none had vins that were visible and ill be honest I didn't look at these photos too much but with all of the things you guys have pointed out I would love to stand in front of the car and see the actual condition.

I could see someone asking this kind of money for a truly mint untouched well maintained example with similar mileage.

EVERY ITR 97 OR NOT HAS VIN TAGS IN THE SAME SPOT AS EVERY OBD2 INTEGRA. ITR OR NOT. I believe when cars went to OBDII, manufacturers started VIN tagging every panel.

Here is images of last '97 on BaT.... Passenger fender. Circled in GREEN. Also hood VIN is clear as day. Don't need to circle that one. LOL

This caR is NOT the unicorn we lust for. JDM front at one point possibly? Could be a similar story as my '97.... It was the F&F days. My 97R has 30k miles, JDM front and motor was boosted until explosion.... :cry: :cry: :cry: TORETTTTOOOOOO!!! :lol: :lol:

Someone is hoping to catch an idiot looking for the collector. Buy fast. No questions. High dollar, low mileage? IT MUST BE.....

This caR is fishy fishy fishyyyyyy

Shift knob looks a little whack, not connected to shift boot like it's supposed to be I believe.
The shift knob should have a chrome ring that attaches to the boot. It's either missing or the incorrect boot. Hard to tell pretty grainy photo.

I see the vin tags now :lol: :lol:
Definitely couldn't see them on my phone.
Wondering what the dealer paid for the car or if its on consignment.


Even on the dealers site the pictures are very limited.
