If you are still looking or can wait a little I am planning to sell my 98 GSR in the next month or so. Give me a pm if you want some details.

Nevermind, he went with a dealership for 4600. Blah, almost had it for 4,000!. oh well, wasn't worth 4800. Thanks TI; for staying tuned!

I will find my GSR one day...

Update: Lost another GSR

Found a deal on a Tuesday, it got sold Thursday morning. It's in a city 3 hours away. This was probably the best deal out of my 1 year of searching, 2001 gsr 80k miles.

I couldn't get off work and before I knew it, it was sold. Kind of irritated at myself, maybe I could've drove after work. Just ranting really...

This search is really getting to me; I can't stress enough how in DEMAND these cars are, there must be at least 10 other people actively searching for GSR's everyday like me, in TX and everytime I call a seller within hours of his posting, 4 other people have offered.

My advice is that if you find a "good" deal, jump on it. This goes without saying but I really think the price of GSR may even higher since it's so in demand, with my experience of losing 4 gsrs deals this year.


Summary: GSR's are HIGHLY in demand (I know we all know) and if you find a deal, jump on it, because it'll be sold within 48 hours

This is why I chuckle, to myself, every time I see people here, telling someone they wouldn't pay more than 3-4k for a GSR. These aren't your typical 11-18 year-old cars. And while the economy still isn't good, it's not 2009. Three years ago, the prices dropped, dramatically. They started rising about a year and a half ago.

Regardless of year/mileage, and what KBB or Edmunds say, asking price for these cars starts at 5-6k. I'm not saying it's impossible to find a great deal, but it's not easy. Patience will eventually pay off. In the meantime, keep saving up.

Yeah Drache, I'm glad someone else gets it.

In my year of searching, 98+ gsrs go for 5-6k. The more mint, the closer to 6k. The more miles/signs of wear = closer to 5k.
