Hi there,
I am new to the forum and i don't want to upset anyone with the following thread if any of the cars are owned by anyone here i am just asking advice.
Now i have been looking for a type r in red now for about 2-3 weeks and i have seen 3 for sale that i like the look of but want opinions on them from more knowledged people given my lack of it when talking type R's.
1. This is the first one and to look at the nicest:

Now i have been chatting with the owner on text for a few days finding out more details and he has had the car 4 months and selling because he changes cars a lot.
I done a routine MOT online check and the MOT has ran out but he is going to it this week, the tyre mentioned in the advert was brought up as an advisory 12 months ago and still needs changing but he is going to do it.
Tax wise it ran out in November and from the .GOV site i can't see it has been renewed.
Had door and panel sprayed since NOV after the car was keyed and stone chipped.
Should i be worried that the car has never been taxed and that a tyre advisory was bought up 12K miles ago and not changed yet?
It has been advertised with 12 months MOT but it ran out last week and will be done this week, i have got a best offer from the seller that he would take of 4600 is this about right.
2. Second car on eBay and trade seller:

Saw this one and wondered if the price was a bit high given it is a year older but maybe that is just dealer premiums.
I have sent a message asking if the 75K mile service had been done with valve clearances and timing chain etc and still waiting to hear back about it.
Does anyone know this car at all?
3. 3rd car seen for sale today, bit of a long drive but could be worth it given the money spent on the recent services etc.

This looks like a steal at this price and could it be too cheap, i haven't seen any pictures of the lacquer damage but i could get that looked at by a friend who owns a body shop so i could take into account this when buying it because it is so cheap.
If anyone has thoughts on this lot or advice i am all ears and if anyone owns these car i am just asking around and not trying to annoy anyone.
