2001 Acura Integra GS-R (black or white)

hmmmmm. my advice, get a brand new 05 civic coupe ex... you will be the first owner. ok, but if thats the only choice i have, i'll go with gs-r. more quicker and faster, high performance but high insurance for sure. i suppose to get a white gs-r but for some reasons, i bought a civic ex coupe. brand new baby.. can you feel.. ahahaha. thats the thought.

need some opinions.... i found a 2000 civic si, blue, with 27,000 miles, never driven in snow or rain (went and looked at it, it is definately mint) has aem cold air intake, dc sports 4-2-1 header, greddy evo catback, dc sports short shifter, kyb agx shocks with ground control coilovers, and a sony headunit. he wants 16,500 for it. is that a rip off? i figure it will save me 2 grand anyways because it has all those mods already. so thats less i have to do. blue book for it is 14,500 but it has 2k in mods. should i get it?!?! or no? it is in absolute perfect condition. it looks brand new. what you guys think?

16.5k is ALOT for a 00 si. keep in mind, aftermarket mods dont really increase the overall value of the car that much. the mods you listed would be valued up to like $500. and most likely this person abused and/or raced it somewhat. so think about its history before buying modded cars or from a young owner. i wouldn't get it

as fo gsr or new civic si, i'd take an gsr because im a fan of B series and integras in general. insurance would be cheaper and you wouldnt have to pay fees and regis. fees at the dmv for new cars. but the si is gauranteed not to have ANY problems. seems like most gsrs i seen around here are abused somewhat.
