€2200!!! :eek:

Something seriously wrong with that car if he's selling it at that price, even if it needs to be vrt'd it's worth way more.

If somethings too good to be true it usually is, I'd be very wary of that car, get lots of checks done on it both mechanically and financially

yeh looks like a total scam, lol

Damn! Sorry just seen the phone number 003531887873 !!

Seems like a legit number to me. 00353 is the country code for Ireland and the 1 means its a Dublin number.

There is something seriously dodgy about that car. The owner has it down under details as a 1.7, doesn't say anywhere that it's a type r, apart from the picture of the badge from the inside which he could have got from anywhere.....and there is no type r wheel in it

all you have to do is drive one once, wait for a nice stretch of road, keeps revs low, drop her down one and floor it - you'll feel vtec kickin in and that will be it - you'll be in love.

thats all very well, but vtec isnt everything, i also want reasonable MPG, and im sure it will be hard to find a cheap enough itr that hasnt been rallied around

its actually looking like a TDI car now :P

You will regret it if you get a TDI!! Integra's are very reliable cars, even if they have been driven a bit hard from time to time, they still go keep going strong once regularily serviced. As i said earlier in the thread, if you fancy a seat in the passenger seat i will bring you for a drive and you can see what you think!

WAT??????????? who told you vtec wasnt everything????? lol

on a serious note, jap cars most especially hondas and toyotas will put up with a fair bit of dogging before they die on you. my buddy had a savage ITR, never drove the bottom out of it and any time he did the dog he used to change the oil next day - bit extreme i know but he was a true honda head, there are poeple around who will look after their cars but youll end up payin a bit more i agree.

but take advice given - go for a spin in the ITR or drive one yourself preferrably cause you will be sorry if you buy the TDI:(

You'll seriously regret going down the boring diesel route, the integra is a race spec car, its one of the cars everyone should own in there lives and the smile you get per mile far outweighs any concerns you'd have about mpg!

Drive one and you will not want anything else.

+1. Totally agree

Ditto on all the pro-ITR comments so far! ITR's are considered by a serious amount of heads to be the best-built FWD coupe ever built! As far as reliability is concerned, I've never actually heard of a teg going to an early grave - unless, of course, a tree has walked out in front of one
Vtec Honda's are built for performance...they are made for hard driving! As long as you keep the oil topped up, you're laughin! Having said that, if you can control the Vtec addiction which WILL consume you, you'd be surprised with the mileage you'll get. As for the Golfs, VW's are prone to little niggly electrical problems (constantly blowing bulbs, etc) and you just dont get the same enjoyment out of driving a bread van
