When I was buying my S2000, I passed right over any ads that looked like they were written by a 9-year-old.

Corner lights should be amber, badges should be red, wrong shift boot, knob, dc header and way wrong exhaust, oil cap is ebay, breather filter shold be thrown away

Probably owned by some kid who isnt into it anymore. Id test drive it, pull a carfax, offer $10k and buy it

I'd pass on the ITR altogether. Between your Prelude and S2000s the ITR will sit in a lukewarm middle-ground. If it was me I'd pick up an older Civic and turn it to a track car before getting another ITR. It's more-cost effective for the same amount of thrills, my 2 cents.

Oh sorry, just noticed you are looking between the Prelude and S2000s, not currently in possession of all those cars. In this case the ITR seems to fit your bill. Reading comprehension sometimes eludes me.

Ahhh i still want to own a phoenix yellow type r. Sadly i settled for a gs-r instead. That exhaust is def wrong. I have a oem type r exhaust on mine. It is way beefier than that little pipe in that pic.

Type R's have a little cross bar in the hatch area that you can only see when you remove the center panel that covers the tail lights in the hatch. People making fake Type R's usually miss that part. Also the A/C bracket should be aluminum vs. Steel - also a commonly missed part if someone is making a clone. But the door panels, seats, shifter - it all looks legit. I wouldn't buy too much into the wrong exhaust, it's not all original but you're not paying a premium price either. I'll bet it was driven hard, but aren't most type R's driven hard?

The OP is hilarious. It seems like every other week he's creating threads about looking at cars he knows nothing about, can't afford to buy let alone maintain, and probably lacks the skill to drive.

Last week it was S2000 vs E39 M5, the week before that it was two different S2000's, now it's a Type R...

Hell, a few months ago it was E46 M3's etc.

Still waiting for the inevitable 'OK guys I found a 911 that caught on fire but it still drives... they only want $10k for it! Wow! should I buy it!?' thread.

Yes, but I can afford these cars. I found a nice e39 M5 at a local Mazda dealership and when I finally got some cash for a down payment I went in and they sold it the day I wanted to talk about financing.

I'm still looking at those two s2000's, the NFR is sold, but the Spa is still for sale, I also have 2 more on my list to view.

I work Monday-Saturday, I barely have time to check out the cars myself, so I ask for opinions on s2ki because I like the help and I'm used to the site, I could have gone to an Integra forum, BMW forum or w.e, but I find they're too complicating to browse.

I get the 11th to the 18th off, which I will be heading down south with a few friends ready to buy one of these cars. I was always interested in an S2000/M3/M5 and then started getting into k20 hatches and Type R's. Type R's are rare, and I love the yellow color, I'd much rather an S, and will most likely still be buying an S, but when I seen a 90,000km yellow Type R for 11,000? I had to get some opinions.
