Wow. 18k is so short. Is that without rotating the tires, or even with rotating the tire? I have OEM size DWS and put 7k miles so far. I don't have a tool to measure the tread, but I'll find out when I got oil change next month.
Wow. Vercelli is so cheap. I have Conti on my Type S and I like them. But I have no idea how good or bad Vercelli is. Also, Tire Rack and Discount Tire wouldn't show me a price, so they might match or beat these.

Hey! You're missing the Miata! :p My previous car was a Miata. :cool:
I too was not sure about going FWD, but I actually like it now because it's not scary to loose traction under a hard acceleration. I also don't track the car, so I probably don't get benefit from RWD.
Interesting. Here's the count. I'm 48 btw, but I didn't include myself since I own Type S instead of Type R.

$3,300 is not bad. Do you know what was repaired? "The fixes include new rear bumper cover, new rear diffuser, repainted hatch." as in the original post?
Just FYI. When I used to have a Miata, I got rear ended. Just a bumper cover repair and repaint. Much cheaper car than Type R with much more minor repair. I started $2k+ and got only $500. Maybe I could have gotten more if I was willing to spend more time, but I didn't have enough...
If you're selling the car to buy something else, you should compare trading it in too. I traded in the previous car for $22k when that car was selling for $25 at used car dealers. Private party were going around $23k-$24k. But I saved $2k in sales tax, so trading it in was no brainer.
I know the numbers don't mean much for the driver's cars ;) , but side by side comparison of the number.

Interesting. I have '26 Integra Type S with Sept '25 build date. It started to make this springs noise since a few weeks ago. It's mild enough that I only can hear it in a parking lot. But it constantly makes this noise when steering at low speed.
