Default I need your help

Hello All from Calgary. I am looking to buy a used Integra Type R for my daily driver. There is an 00' Phoenix Yellow ITR at Miracle Auto Sales in Burnaby, does anyone know if they are reputable ? The car looks nice (don't they all in photos) and is a local Burrard Acura car with 49,000KM. They tell me it is mint but has a minor rear bumper hit against it ($2400). This would be fine as long as this is the case and it wasn't more drastic. Does anyone live close to this dealer ? I would be more than be willing to compensate you for your time if you are willing to take a look at it for me, I entrust other S2K owners to give me an honest opinion on condition and such. Best Regards, Brady

That is what I needed to know. Thanks for the insight. I am always nervous of "little" dealers.

I can check out Burrard Acura for you, as long as you're willing to wait a week or two, since I'm pretty tied up these days.

Hey, I appreciate that. I don't think Burrard has an ITR right now, there website is showing only one used Integra and it's not an R. If anyone has a lead on a clean, well maintained ITR of any vintage please let me know.

My baby is up for sale.

2001 Championship White Integra Type R

Kimometers: 37750

Modifications:
- Bilstein shocks
- H&R sports
- AEM Cold Air Intake
- Cusco Strut bars rear and front
- Greddy oil catch
- Clifford G4 Avantgaurd
- Toyo T1s with 75% tread
- Optima Yellow Top

Only Mobil 1 5W30 used since 27000 KM were on the odo.

I have babied this car since the day I got her... I'm sure many of the guys on Revscene could vouch for me. She is MINT condition and truly has to be seen to be appreciated. The front seats have almost no wear on them due to the fact that I swapped them out for black ITR seats a while back to avoid wear and tear. I'm spent endless hours detailing this car and it truly shows. If you are serious about picking up a late model MINT ITR, give me a call at (604) 808-2183 (Garrett) or just PM me. I will only sell to someone that can take as good care of her as I have.

27500 obo

I just searched on a local bc forum and found this
The car was for sale in October, i'm not sure if it was sold or not. you may want to give it a try. Good luck

It's pretty hard to find a good one down here without connection. Most of them out there are either the owner is keeping it/in really bad shape/rebuilt(or even sitting in a wreck yard if that counts).

I've been looking for a GSR/ITR when I was looking for a car last year. Didn't have any luck. End up with a Civic SiR.

I too have not heard good things of Miracle Auto Sales.

Check in the "buy and sell" web-site and autotrader. Last month I saw Kia Pacific in Vancouver with a white ITR at about $17k and another at a similar price elsewhere (can't remember where).

Fantastic cars - I had one in Britain. You don't realise how noisy and hard they are until you drive someone elses Civic. I had a problem with a repetitve wearing of a clutch pedal bush and the rubber on the pedal itself. Also the Recaro seats would slowly wind back a little over a week or two.

Do Canadian ITR have the red Recaro seats as they did in Britain?
