Rustlestiltskin Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 well I might have come accross a car that I might consider a daily driver. Its an 2000 acura integra gs-r. It seems like a pretty good car that will save me alot at the pump but one concern is that it has 108,000 miles on it. what kind of price would these go for with that kind of mileage but the car is in good overall condition. Also, are these cars pretty nice and reliable? What should I check or worry about with this car at that high of mileage? Hope you guys can help me out. thanks, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach1647545520 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I work at an acura dealership wit craig and I love driving integras especially if it was a gsr or if i get lucky a type r. From my personal experience I've seen these cars go on forever if you take car of them. If I was in the position to get another car I would be looking into getting a Integra.

evan9381 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 i didnt get great mileage w/ my GSR, but it was a 94. IIRC, it only had ~141k when i bought it. i was happy to get 275 miles to the tank. its not "im-driving-a-giant-truck" bad mileage, but i wouldnt say it was wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhobs Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 eventually youll need timing belt water pump as all hondas should get. at i think 120k you should get about 28 - 30 mpg if not driving like an ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you guys can help me out. thanks, Paul Excellent $6,565 Good $6,010 Fair $5,265 According to kbb.com. I would say if it is in good condition and in that price range it would be a good option. Do the timing belt and w/p asap. (As said above.) Then I would start doing things to it that will give you slight power but more mpg increases. Underdrive pulleys, intake manifold, Hondata, intake, exhaust. I LOVE my Type R. It should run mid-14's according to all the review magazines. I am still able to get 30mpg driving it like I stole it. It is a great comprimise for someone like myself that can't afford a reliable dd and a fast toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Integras are nice cars. Better then a civic imo. Change the belts after you buy it. If you baby it then it will last a long time as a daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street pilot Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 A step up from a civic, integra's make great DDs in my opinion. Generally they are very reliable, I wouldnt worry about that mileage at all. The hatch has a lot of useable space. The GS-R model is always high on the theft charts, so pull the badge and cover your VIN. Keep in mind while it may get decent gas mileage it does require premium fuel.

GSXRAntwon Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Boost it. = fun daily driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKOBD Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Does it have service records? Those cars will last a long time if the service intervals are met. Does it have leather....how is the condition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulo Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I had a 96' with 180,000mi that got great mileage and was extremely reliable. The car would have ran forever with proper maintenance. A little boost goes a long way with VTEC yo! I trapped 118mph on low boost and at the stock curb weight on my most current setup. You could easily get to 280 reliable whp with just a basic turbo kit, and wouldn't have to touch the internals. Just do the timing belt and water pump and enjoy.
