Sticker on Acura Type R
I'm considering buying a new Acura Integra Type R,
and from what I understand the demand is very high
for this vehicle (and the supply is very limited).
In this situation, can I expect to pay sticker
for this car and not get any concessions from the
salesperson? Any tips/suggestions?

Sometimes people will pull out of the deal and if it's at the end of the month some salesmen want to get in as many sales as they can so they 'll let it go for sticker. Under sticker would be very hard to do. Most dealers want $2K or so more than sticker for the Type-R!!
My brother got his for sticker in '98.
I believe the car is worth paying sticker for but not more than that. Sticker is almost $25K and that's the most I 'd pay for a 4cyl. car right now even if it's one of the best handling FWD cars in the US.

0-60 in 6.2s!!
1/4 mi in 14.8s!
They were supposed to compare it to the Celica
GT-S but they didn't do it. They probably got paid by Toyota NOT to do it..

The problem with used Type-R's is that people race them (auto-x) in the spring & summer so they kind of abused you could say. $18-20K is still a good deal with low miles but I wouldn't pay over $20K for a used one. My brother has a '98 ITR with 9k mi. on it. We 'll see how much I can get it for in about a year when he sells it. :-)
For now, I 'll just keep modding the GSR

I have seen a lot of those, but I've never seen a real Type R.

Go to your local autocross racing event and you 'll probably see one or two there or go to an "imports day/night" type of event and I 'm sure you 'll see a couple there. At one time my brother and I had managed to invite 6 Type-Rs to go racing with us. That was the most Type-R's I 've seen together, parked next to each other. There were 2 yellow, 3 white and 1 black. There were like a hundred people around them taking pictures!
There are many ways to tell if a Type-R is real or not but if you have never seen one, how do you know that they 're fake?
I must admit, besides my brother's, I 've only seen 3-4 other Type-Rs on the road in the last 3 years. But I have seen a total of 9 or more at racing events I participate in.
I seem to see a lot more S2000s than Type-Rs but then again the S2000 is not a limited production vehicle. I see an S2000 every couple of weeks and I think I 've seen it in every color it comes in.
