I had a DA and later a DB2. The Type-R is a halo car to be sure, but the GSR and the non-VTEC cars were just sporty-ish cars, nothing more. They were never serious performance cars, despite what Reddit or nostalgia tells you.

These things used to cost well over 20K in the 1990s, which was a lot of money for essentially a Civic with a better interior and a double overhead cam motor. 45K is not unreasonable for a market segment that is very niche these days. Enthusiasts don't buy new cars - they buy 10K beaters.
