What trim is it?

[dandicat]

Hi,

I just bought a 98 Integra on the insurance auto auction.
Didn't see the car yet though - someone was bidding for me.
Although my guy swears that this is GSR or TR, cause it has a VTECH engine in it. I'm still not so sure what trim that is!!!
Can anyone tell what it is, just by looking at some lousy pictures? I can't. Here are the pics: http://briefcase.yahoo.com/kontener

Notabene, that car was stolen, so i'm not so sure about the interior.

Here's insurance company's info:

It's a GS-R. You can tell by the spoiler, among other things. I also don't think Type-Rs were available in that color.

Hope you got a deal on it- it isn't exactly in cherry condition.

Yep, Gs-r. the rims, spoiler, and engine should always give that away. That car's looking pretty dirty, u have ur work cut out for ya, but good luck on it

I didn't see any rims.

Neither did I...


If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for it? How's the engine... or does it have one?

[dandicat]

ok, you might laugh, but i paid for it 8900. I personally think that's at the high end, but still below the market value after i get done with it. Clear title of course.
Yes, it has engine cause it was one of the drivr-through cars - they put donoughts on it for the time of auction.
I'll know the condition of the motor and body tomorrow.
Untill, now I still have dilema if I want to keep my 2001 GS w/8000 on it, or try that GSR w/4800 miles.
I'll let you know soon.

btw. I've purchased many cars on similar auctions in the past, so I used to the gamble. And this car looks pretty OK to me so far.

I always thought gsr's had leather interior! maybe a gsr though i know its a not a type R they dont come in supersonic blue pearl! thats the color of your car its either a gsr or gs. seems like a gsr though.

[tightteg52]

Also note the sunroof type r's didn't have those i also just remembered that some gsr's didn't have leather so iim like 98% sure you got a gsr.

in general, the rims tell the gsr and gs apart. In his case, if it has a vtec engine in it, then its gsr. Unless someone really fawked with that car and intentially got a gs, and put a gsr engine in there with a gsr spoiler and such, but thats not likely.

someone didn't look at the pics ther are NO rims in those pics!

the spiler dont mean a damn thing ppl....i had an RS and it had the exact same spoiler! its a factory option and a lot of ppl opted for it and therefore a lot of LS, RS and GS cars have that same spoiler. The badge on the back is either a DOHC VTEC badge or a Special Edition badge! Im guessing GSR tho ;)

Wow, that's about double what I was thinking you might have payed. Since you've done this before though, I'm sure you know what you're doing. Best of luck getting it fixed up.

[espionage]

It is a GSR because of the DC2 in the VIN#. You could also punch in the VIN on CarFax and it will say GSR.

more than i would ever pay... but have fun.

[dandicat]

well, it might seem high to you guys, but when I looked the price of that car on edmunds.com i could still get 12k (private party) for it. No sweat. So, I'm still ahead in the game.
I'll post some pics when i get done :)

[Maxvla]

umm... 8900.00 plus all that work and parts to try to sell it at 12,000??? something doesnt add up.

I agree... I'd like to know more about this process. Seems like you'll get screwed in the long run :confused:
