Trying to purchase this 2001 Type-R. Any input or concerns will be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone has any history on this Type-R that is not listed in the carfax, please let me know. I know of the auctions that are in BaT on this car. That's about it. See the link below for the carfax report.

Might be better if you post in the Cars for Sale section. And is there a link to the listing?

For reference:
-Badge: 01-0628
-VIN: JH4DC23101S001131


FYI I'm traveling to CO tomorrow and I will be close to Littleton. I can't say whether the seller is willing to meet but I could do a quick drop by.

Another type r being flipped.... This car previously sold for 13-14k, can't remember exactly. Its only been owned for a little over a month, 6k in appreciation? laughable. Also, technically it's a 2 owner car now.

Yea, it's unfortunate. Looked better with rock chips. Sometimes a nice patina is better than a crappy effort to repair. I wanted this car originally, but now idk. Plus that price is so off.

I saw on IG it is posted for $18k. Also, on IG the ad states quarter panel has also been resprayed.(which isnt stated in the CL ad)

Its 14k car imo
Some info....

and more! was hit on left rear quarter panel.

Thanks for the info fellas!! I went to see the R yesterday and this guy was feeding me all kinds of crap but I can smell a flipper miles away. I end up passing on the car because both bumpers paint is crap and driver rear quarter panel had a crappy paint job. He took out the floor mats and told me he threw it away. lol. I really appreciated all the informations you guys provided, it helps big time.

The market is pretty upsetting lately with all these flippers. Its especially worse when people on IG hype a car up saying its a "good deal". Economy is too good, too many kids have money to blow.

Since you looked out at, how much do you think it is worth? I dont mind all the issues that car has, but its needs to be price accordingly.

Was he super firm on his price?

Thanks
