I think that one is different

ITR Expo Forums: 2001 Acura Integra Type R CDM with OEM red interior 17K CAD

Velocity has two 2001 Integra Type R's coming in... I understand they are a business and they have to make money, but after looking at how much they purchased it at auction, I realized its much cheaper to just import one. The white one they have went for 525,000 Yen IIRC..

By my calculations (I could be wrong) but you could get this landed/tax paid for around $13500 , Its shocking how cheap the car is in Japan though $8290 CAD and you are almost paying double the price after Taxes/Import

For the price for a DC5 Type R, I would choose a LHD Type S for less money and drive on the correct side of the road. Only time I'd consider a JDM car is if there were no LHD variants like the S15, or R32 - R34 etc etc etc

I'm not technical enough of a driver to tell the differences with the spindles and subframe measurement differences.

Thats a fair point and I agree with you.

I'm just frustrated about all the extra costs involved with importing and taxes considering the car was purchased for (8000-8500 CAD) half of what they are asking, obviously with taxes/import fees the price is always going to be higher they are a business after all, but double the price of the car is pretty steep don't you think?

they can sell it for whatever price they choose?
nobody forcing you to buy from them.

notrevseen though

It is definitely a steep price. But consider the following:

- Shipping cost is about 1400usd? I forgot.
- Duties when it enters Canadian port
- Auction house commission
- Port fees in Japan and Vancouver
- Provincial inspection (possibly a shady pass lol)

$300CAD car can be around $2500 or so. My numbers may be wrong though, it's been a while lol

I am aware of this, I am not being forced to buy from them and I appreciate they are a business and they have to make money!

I am just frustrated at how cheap they are in Japan and how much extra we have to pay to get them imported.

your math is correct.


should be a shade under $3k for a $300 cdn auction car.

buy a type-s
or import a type-r and do all the legwork yourself
or import one with an agent
or buy one from a reseller you can see in-person and ready to be driven off the lot with all inspections/registration done
or perhaps even wait a year or two to see local classifieds pop up with one or three

plenty of options
I don't understand your complaint

If I understood correctly, his complaint is the high price resellers are charging.

No, his beef is how cheap they are in Japan and all the extra cost to ship, tax, and brokerage to bring the car to Canada.

You are bringing a car across an ocean into a market it wasn't made for. Sorry you can't put it in a fedex package for 49.99 but that's the way the world works.

So who ended up buying loongs type r

Jasonturbo bought it

No fucking way.....

is jasonturbo ever going to bring his toys to track/autox?
:okay:

Hardpark is life bruh.

Going to de-rice Kev's car, already have an OEM parts order going that is >20K.

Parting out most of the mods, whatever you are looking for off the car just PM kev, he will be selling off many of the parts on my behalf. I don't really care about getting much money back for any of it, so just make an offer, the lower the better, I just want it gone, so PM kev.

how come you sold your last one if you're wanting stock?
did someone finally buy your nsx?

His itr has 100km more than your old one and same jdm front... A lot more track miles. Where is the logic going 20k+ OEM resto?

Loongs ITR drives like it just came off the lot. Great condition.

I think the jasonturbo logic would be: the last one was too mint to drive.


So he went out and bought a driver car.

I'm confused

JT is a trolololol
