Hey all, I am excited to buy my first import. I have chosen to go with an Integra. There are 3 cars I am looking at, but I need the help of you knowledgable teg enthusiasts to guide me.

Alright, the first car is a dark blue 1992 Acura Integra RS 4dr. auto 1.8L 4cyl (I believe) w/ pwr locks/windows/air/heat/cruise/tilt etc and a moonroof. The car is in excellent shape at 200k km, with awesome paint and excellent interior. 3200$ (CAD)

Second car is a 1991 Acura Integra GS with a b20b motor, 5 spd, leather interior, ac, cruise, power windows and locks, moon roof. Motor has 80 km on it as well it was installed by JDM source in Calgary. Extras on it are: it has a skunk 2 intake manifold as well as greddy head and intake. 6000k HiD kit Hi/low. Black in color,body has 275k km on it and the car has just been repainted about 1 year or so ago. JDM side marker lights, brand new winter rims and tires. Only problem is the front two seats have tears in the leather. But it needs new struts. $4500 (CAD)

Third is a 1990 Acura Intgera GS 4dr fully loaded,auto, with sunroof and rear spoiler,black in color, good condition on both exterior and interior. 206,563km. $4000 (CAD)

I'm not sure which one to go for. I dont really know the value of older Integras with 200k+ miles. Are these prices fair? Which would you go for?

Yeah, they're all over priced. If I had to choose, I'd get the RS sedan and swap to a B18C1.

Yeah, I thought it was a bit expensive..

Imports hold their value a lot higher in Canada I guess, who knows. I just want something good on gas with some kick that will allow me to cruise through the highway. I don't plan on throwing in a turbo or going all out. Maybe a few bolt on mods if I get bored.

if you want a manual, then obviously, i would suggest the second option you've listed. if you want an auto, i'd choose the first one. lower miles (compared to the third option), excellent shape (according to your post) and cheaper.

also..its in stock form.

if you want to go with a b18c1 swap though, it'll save you time, money and energy if you pick up your second option because its already manual. Or you could get a jdm auto tranny for the gsr.

question: I wonder how an auto ls tranny would be on a b18c1. has anyone done this? <-- I'm going to go make a new thread now. lol.

I'de try to negotiate with the 2nd owner. I think you could get a lower price on it. point out whats wrong, and then tell him you'll give him a lower amount cash and see what he says. You can always talk a person down (most of the time).

The first one cant be a RS if it has all those options, Most likely a LS. The RS' are manual everything.

I'd probably go with the 1st or 3rd one, The 5speed one is already modified and i presonally dont trust pre-modded cars.

I'd wait and keep looking. Use the internet, widen your search. Get an unmodified manual with the lowest miles you can
