Value is just what a person is willing to pay. A 2001 type R with low miles goes for 40+ on ebay these days.

I don't know what point I'm trying to make here lol! I think I'm just mad that I cant reasonably buy a type R without feeling like an idiot.. carry on!

Also this is why I wont sell my next 86, I wont be the idiot that has to buy one for 3k above full price 16 years from now.

There was a mint low mileage 1997 Integra Type R in Championship White on eBay that went over 70k at the beginning of this year.

My mechanic thinks the current BRZ already surpassed the DC2R in terms of overall performance. People just buy the old car out of nostalgia.

It would be hard to argue in favor of the ITR, all it has going for it is legend status compared to the twins. In my eyes that's enough though.. I still want one haha.
