Because from what I know (I could be wrong) both the ITR in Canada and USA were sold above MSRP with premiums. (Not that I could afford one at the time) but I called one of the Acura dealerships back in 1997 and they confirmed on the phone, that they were above MSRP

But some "loyal" customers were getting them for below MSRP.

Curious to see what type of damage the car sustained to have a $14K hit and not be written off. wonder if it is Rebuilt status.

Doesn’t say when the accident was. It could have been years ago when the vehicle was only a few years old.

I read stories about Acura dealers hiding some because they had too many down in the USA. The USA did not have a 1999 model. From what I read it was because 1998 models were not moving.
That 2001 may be sold. Less than 24hrs after listing.

Lougheed Acura had a brand new ITR sitting on their lot hidden in the very back. They were asking MRSP at the time, $31.5K?
I stupidly chose the Prelude to save cash and worry free ownership...sigh.

That’s about right. Tofu said 32k MSRP
Apparently two people viewed ITR and bailed. It was a roll over accident.

This is just a side question, I don't want to derail the thread.
That ITR selling for $18k right now, how bad is a rollover for the car?
Thank god I've never been in such an accident before, but I'm honestly wanting to know (I'm not going to buy it, no $$$, but I am just wanting to know to be more aware of stuff)

Roll over vehicles are usually written off, most cases when a vehicle gets rolled, a complete side gets heavily damaged, air bags deploy, roofs cave in, windshields, backglass all break, then you have fluid leakage from engines, gas tank etc.
It would be interesting to see some pics if the owners has any in this case

if you treat it as a rebuilt (price has to really reflect this) and put in a cage for track use only it's probably okay?

That's assuming the repairs were done at least half decently and the pillars and roof aren't rusting internally.
edit: I missed the 400k part initially. At that mileage it's only going to be good as a beater or a shell for a project, but the price is really high for a beater and the shell is likely fucked internally.

A friend looked it and it’s not bad. But then you have a 400km roll over rusty non original engine ITR. Only works as a track car or beater so I think price will need to come down. Originally I thought it would sell quick due to the red seats.

(I'm not planning to buy an ITR, I just want to learn. These are honest questions, don't be offended. My family and I have owned 4 Civics, I've owned a 1st gen NSX, I'm almost as big of a fan of the ITR as you owners are)
1. $30k for that ITR, I know there is a LOT of nostalgia, rarity, and passion behind the ITR.... but seriously, like.... $30k is a crazy-town price....
Honestly, I paid much less than $30k for my 2008 IS-F, and it has about HALF the mileage of that ITR.
Like... you guys as ITR owners, don't you think $30k for that is pretty crazy?? (It's funny because I read the first page of this thread, and the guy was complaining about an ITR for $18k... lol)
2. How GOOD is the ITR? Is it black and white completely better than the GSR?
I ask because a close friend of mine has owned 4 DC2 Integras, and currently he owns a DC2 GSR and a DC5 RSX Type S. I've been around the DC2 Integra a lot, but I've never sat in, or driven a DC2 ITR.
If the DC2 ITR is >>>>>> DC2 Integra / DC5 RSX Type S, then I can fully understand, because when I went from my IS350 to my IS-F, it literally was a black and white difference of both cars. On paper, the IS-F has "only" better suspension, 110hp+ more, 2 more cylinders from a bigger and better engine. I owned my IS350 for almost 4 years, and before actually sitting in and driving an IS-F, I didn't expect it to be sooo much better than the IS350, but it is. Some things are more than just numbers on paper. Is that the case with the DC2 ITR vs regular DC2 Integra/ DC5 RSX?

Is that the case with the DC2 ITR vs regular DC2 Integra/ DC5 RSX? | My personal feeling, having autox'd and tracked a stock ITR with a tired motor and fresh suspension, no. It isn't that night and day different from say a GSR.
that being said, some of the demand comes from the rarity of the car. To find an all original numbers matching non molested ITR is almost impossible as most have been modded, theft from, or written off.
Kinda like some of the people who are making these "barn" finds in the US.

Most my friends make fun of the ITR because they can’t wrap their heads around how much they cost for ‘just a Honda’. So that is a great question

such a raw, honest FWD car, that felt like a turn key, road course ready car straight off the showroom floor.
very high strung and responsive motor. revs to the moon.
its slow by modern standards, but the agility and the nimbleness is something modern cars cant quite seem to match. the visibility factor is the biggest one, the car has such a low dashboard and big glass area compared to current cars.
it is indeed a special car and its a matter of what its worth to you.
people are willing to pay the dollars for nostalgia and that car does bring quite a bit to most of its followers.
I'd personally spend $15k tops on one. with a jspec front end and some minor mods. at $30k to me, it better be an all original car with under 100k kms on it with a floor pan so clean, you can eat off of it.
if you ever get a chance to drive one, drive one. theres a bit of special sauce on the original ITR compared to the GSR.
The car itself is a niche and of course dollar for dollar there are other options out there. No different from 911 guys. people are still willing to pay 50k + for air cooled cars... theyre not as fast or comfortable and would probably be out ran by a Toyota Camry, but the niche is there.

IMO, stock GSR vs stock ITR. huge difference in the balance and handling.
Is it worth 30k? Market determines the price. When I bought my ITR its only 50% more money than a GSR. That is well worth the difference at the time.

8 Years ago 15k for an ITR was absurd, 35k for a Mk4 Supra was absurd, 25k for a FD rx-7 was absurd. Look at the prices of these cars today.. Old jap sports cars are rising in value and will continue to do so for the next couple of decades IMO. Im sure 10 years from now Barrett Jackson auction will be flooded with NSX, Supra, ITR. Some who dreamed about these cars as youngsters now have the money to add to them their collection.
