These are things that are not swappable between models within the DC2 chassis. VIN should read DC231 for the ITR chassis in North America. Dealers also offered a sunroof but it would be installed at the dealership, not the factory. There is one floating around the US that a friend of mine owned for a while.

Mindbomber: no Milano Red ITR's in North America unfortunately. Only JDM, UKDM and EDM markets received those. I'm actually looking to import an EDM ITR in Milano Red someday but the exchange rate is pretty shitty now and the EDM pricing is out of control. EDM = LHD and North America front end.
Thank you for the correction on the colour and sunroof. The EDM MR ITRs being LHD threw me off, and I knew dealers offered a/c as a dealer installed option for early ITRs but did not know they offered sunroofs as well.

EDM ITRs... if i remember correctly was offered a yellow Recaro SRD for a certain market.... :heckno:

white rocket 11-26-2014 04:00 PM
^^correct. The Swiss market had a Yellow(which is the same color code as PY but called Sunlight Yellow) equipped with yellow stitch shift boot and Momo wheel and the Yellow Recaro seats and yellow rears. I believe Australia offers it as well but it's RHD.

what's a half-decent JDM ITR go for at auction?

The importers list them for around $10,000-12,000. It's possible to get one from the states (or locally, if you're patient) in okay condition for that price though, and personally, I would prefer an okay condition LHD to a good condition RHD.

Most ITR's in the states are salvage/rebuilts.

I used to hate convertibles. but for some reason, many of them have grown on me and I kinda want one. I might get a E46 M3 if the right one comes by and my money gets returned.

I think most is an exaggeration.. and a salvage title on an ITR isn't necessarily the end of the world because a significant portion of those are simply stripped theft recoveries, so they should drive as well as stock once put back together..

I text the seller, he told me it's actually a rebuilt title due to $2,200 damage on driver side rear quarter, hence the price is lower than it should be. I called it BS and feel my time got wasted by dishonest seller again.

Yes. Your ferry fees for the day will be equal to half your car's price.

Little bit of an exagerration... but actually though, it seems the island is a goldmine of well maintained (at least on the surface) cheap cars. Every ad I've emailed fo far they tend to be pretty straight up and accomodating suggesting I bring my own mechanic to validate the ad or letting me know about small issues that weren't mentioned

if you're going to switch out everything anyways, this is the best way to go IMO. 4bangers always have nice straight frames and body panels are usually all in line too lol.

Just a little bit. :pokerface: I brought my car over from Nanaimo, ferry fees for the day was almost 400 bucks for a family of 4 so less if you bring less people but i'd imagine you want to bring people to help check the car out.

Oh my bad I misread, I thought it was 50 for the car each way, forgot about the passengers

I took 3 buses, skytrain, seabus, ferry and a tour bus to buy a car in Port Alberni. Cost about $100 in travel.

I'm going to call the Volvo guy tomorrow. Thanks.
