I’m thinking EP3 any advice?
Discussion
Obviously these cars are getting long in the tooth but if they are like most of the jap stuff probably hold up well body wise.
I’m not wanting to skimp, looking for something low miles and nice. Theres a low mileage one fairly local at £14k but I’m clueless on them and not done a lot of reading. Is there some sort of definitive buying guide somewhere, things to look for/avoid. Any must have bits. I’m guessing value wise they are a reasonable prospect.
Feel free to throw comments at me

I definitely wouldn’t spend £14k on one unless it’s a JDM example IMO.
You can get a tidy enough one for 6/7k and that is all the money for a useable UK (standard car).
It really depends on what you plan to do with it, if you’re going to keep it super standard and clean, buy an expensive JDM car, if you’re going to mod, get s clean UK car and spend some money.
You can go as far as you want with them. I started with a 1 owner completely standard car and now have a money pit 360bhp Rotrex supercharged speciality
I’d seen this and thought it looked in the condition I would want but from what you say it’s expensive https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202205025...You can get a tidy enough one for 6/7k and that is all the money for a useable UK (standard car).

It looks clean. But it is just a standard facelift car, not even a Premier edition! As said, if you want a mint one to stick in the garage, great, but if you’re going to change even a bit of it, don’t spend that much.
The same money gets you a much, much more desirable JDM car

Even less for a 69k pre facelift 30th anniversary!

If you want to spend £15k I’ll sell you mine
Hey, I really appreciate the info, I’m way out of my depth with Honda. That said, you’re half right with sticking it in the garage, it’s what I do with most of my cars. I’ve just sold a Clio Trophy, owned 7 yrs, done 1800 miles. I’ve got an Elise I bought brand new 12 yrs ago and I’ve done 9k miles in it The same money gets you a much, much more desirable JDM car
