Is this a CR or a regular AP2 Rio?

That actually looks pretty good.

Isn't that pretty much the core business plan of most dealers? At least they don't have it advertised as a CR.

No, it just has CR badges stuck all over it. If anything, it should have the Type-S badge.

salvaged title cars wouldn't get the factory warranty claimed on the window of the car. all the panels line up. But a car fax would tell all.

Dealers in my area don't touch wrecked cars. They cannot be bothered with them and sell them to used car lots. Not sure where this dealer is.
Don't put too much faith in a carfax report. I had an 2001 Mitsubishi Galant that was rear-ended and was $500 short of being totaled. It was repaired, and the carfax still showed no accidents.

This listing is from Fremont Honda which is one of the LARGER Honda dealers in my area. I have to go to their parts later so will check out the car. Nothing wrong with the color except I already had two yellow s2000's and don't want another one! haha

Either dealer is playing dumb or consumer has to be aware that's all ~ as another guy said as least they didn't post it as a "CR" model so no foul on their part. Just have to be an educated/smart consumer

I'm pretty sure it's not a totaled car or a honda dealer would not risk their liability. CarFAX is not 100% accurate, if buying a used car I would double check in person.

Rob: Which white one? I've looked at so many.........

There was an 05 or 06 for $14,500 in GWP. I thought 60K miles. I thought in the bay area or socal. Was on your last posting about a car.

Rob, I have my eyes on 3 different GPW right now so VERY soon now...hehehe

I prefer an 06+ since I want to do the Vortech blower this time around

(already started accumulating parts for the car in my garage: lip, wheels, stereo, seats, door panels, etc)

Rick are you not going to hold out for a GPW CR?
