Price for dc2r in Oz ?

[Jooce]

hey guys.. new the forums . im a kiwi.. ive just travelled the world with a whole group of austrailians and i love you guys.. we might take the piss out of each other, but believe me when your a kiwi walking through rome with an austrailian you become instant brothers lol. anyways i just wanted to know how much dc2r integras are worth in australia? i know you guys pay quite a bit for jap imports over there.. just like we pay heaps for holdens. just to put it in perspective.. ive just purchased a 1996 integra type r, 140,000kms, tein adjustable suspension, 17 dtm alloys, toda 4-2-1 headers and an intake setup.. all for $7,300. what would this be worth in australia? just curious thats all as my friend reckons his gts-t skyline is worth over 10k in oz buts it only worth about 5 - 6k here..

The asking price would be atleast 15, but then again it all depends on the buyers doesnt it, but yeah we get screwed when it comes to the price of imports and parts compare to you NZ guys.

15k? could get a dc5r for 15k here .. how much would you guys pay for a 2001 clubsport? my mate just payed $37,000!!! he reckons it would be under $20k in oz.

I'd rather have cheap JDM cars than cheap Aussie shitboxes!

Just check Carsales.com.au if you really want the prices but yeah you could pick up the Clubsport VX model for under 20k

as you well know alot of kiwis have migrated to australia.. about 7 of my friends have done and they cant believe the cost of jap imports there.. you can pick up a tidy wrx sti for 8k here.. a friend of mine sold his wrx before moving to aus and then went to buy one over there.. lol he didnt in the end

dc2r is selling for round 17k in australia i not long got one for $17,500 i seen one as low as $16k and one as high as $23k

remember y'all, the TypeR he is asking about is a 1996 version, which is "first" 3rd gen, we didnt get the one, your putting up prices for the Oz dc2R which was the 1998 mid-year model change version.

altho maybe they might go for the same price....i have no idea..

but the gts-t, a 1990 model can be gotten for around 6k locally.

looks like its cheaper to buy dc2rs in NZ and ship em over here, plus the aussie dollar being a bit stronger

[Moey.C]

are the audm and nzdm spec type r's the same tho? and the sti's and the gts-t and the clubsports... coz i kno our type r is quicker than america's and brittains. . .

[JORDS]

i dont think NZ had a factory delivered dc2r, i believe they are all imports....right?

I wouldn't hesitate to suggest that a cheap car will be treated like a cheap car and on that basis that most examples that are available for lower price in NZ would likely be abused / ill-maintained etc.. I am assuming! If its a car you are going to keep for a long time (I will likely never sell my dc2r) then I don't really think its here nor there with a few extra K's on the price..

Also someone who can only afford a $10k car (i.e. if they had more money they would buy a more modern potentially higher performance car) is not likely to have much cash to really give the car the attention it needs .. They are starting to get old now!
