I waslooking at some type R 's and most are asking almost 20k.
Do u think the Evo will hold it's value.?

 

type R's get stolen
evo's get wrecked

 

Finding a clear title unmolested Type R is like finding a needle in a haystack.You can't even drive a Type R without having a thought of it getting stolen as a EVO would be less likely to get stolen.Plus an EVO would be much easier to make faster.

 

don't know bout book value but it will definately hold more street cred down the road

 

Asking price and selling price are two different things. The real question is, what are they selling for?

 

20K better be for a extremely low mileage, completely original, unmolested (as in no mods ever) super clean, non salvage, USDM ( Non-JDM conversion). Less than the above criteria lowers the price to 18k then 15k then less based on the slew of things that are Not perfect showroom stock.

If you are even considering an R you must keep it super safe, IT IS THE #1 THEFT MAGNET! As in never take it to a mall or go to the movies. Never plan to park it out of eye sight distance. f*ck alarms with pagers they are worth sh*t when a seriuos theif wants the R. You'd better have a garage that is secure and in a good to VG neighboorhood or way out in the boondocks.

Type-R's are still stolen on almost a regular and daily basis. Many of my friends or acquaintenances over the years and tons of people I know on Honda-Tech have had theirs stolen and molested or worse stripped and cut up.

I strongly believe a clean, pure USDM R will hold it's value over a USDM EVO. Based alot on it's significantly lower production numbers, following, and general rating among the car enthusiest community, specifically it being rated the #1 FWD car of all time by EVO magazine recently.

Is an EVO faster? In stock form yes. In lightly modded form. Yes, and in highly modded form either yes or can be depending on the driver. But ya gotta remember that the R and the EVO are two completely different cars, apples and oranges.

Now I just gotta get me an NSX and maybe a Z06 to complete my fruit basket

For daily the EVO is much easier to deal with. I have Zero theft concerns with it. I'm not as attached to it as my R. I'd miss it and replace it with something. But the R would much harder to almost impossible to replace to my criteria.

My R is a track only car, as in trailer to and from. My EVO is a daily beater, great for All weather conditions with the proper rubber. My EVO is a more fun weekend Autocross warrior, my R is a pure HPDE and hopefully soon Honda-Challenge contender.

Best of luck with whatever you choose but please heed the warnings and do your homework. It would suck to get fugged on a deal on a modded riced beat salveged R, it would suck worse to then get it stolen from you because you didn't pay attention to the warnings.

 

Look at the Toyota Supra Turbos...theyre sellin for atleast $20k because theyre on the way of being extinct. This is exactly whats happening with the Type Rs. As far as the evos go, they will be around for a long time.

 

Were are you finding supra's for 20k.... Let me know I'll buy 3

 

there were afew evo's for around 14k on modified trader

 

Heres one I found on autotrader.Its an auto transmission and its got over a 100K miles.

Sadly, the EVO will most likely not hold its value as we may like. Mitsubishi in general has a very low residual value in the used car market. Their brief collaboration with Chrysler definitely didnt help things either.

Expect a 25% 30% drop in value in the first year.

 

What is a type R, RSX?

 

integra? type r?

 

yes integra type R. the hotness
i had two.. both were stolen from my driveway.
