However; there was an article i read where they compared an new Civic to one of these older SI models and the older SI model was fun for about 15 minutes before you realize its a 20 year old car... the new car blew it away in every way.

Consider you can have a modern Civic Type R for 35K... again, not sure who would make the decision for the above, it's at best a $5k car.

This is true. It’s like finding an ITR that’s never been stolen

I think I saw a mint mk4 R32 sell for around the same.

Some people just want a clean no nonsense NA car with a manual.

I get it.

I wish I still had my Z4M.

Why do some people car how much someone spent on something? It's their money, you don't have to agree with it.

Eh, why does anyone care about how clean another owner keeps his car, yet there is a subforum about it
