Afternoon gentlemen,
I'm back, if anyone remembers me :lol:
Little bit of advice if possible, more of a 'what would you do' in regards to purchasing an EP3. My last one i owned was about 4-5 years ago and was an 05MY. Ive got 3 lined up to look at this weekend which consist of:
1 - 51 Plate Satin Silver with 66k, bog-standard with FSH and extremely well looked after by a technician i work with (i'm not a tech though) who is also a 'Honda nut', the car itself is in pretty good nick, wheels are slightly messy and i'm worried about corrosion being a 2001 car but he will sell it to me for £2.5k
2 - 04 plate NHB with 89k, FSH, with minor mod of Spoon N1 and HID's, paint work looks clean from the pictures but there are some minor scuffs present, being advised no corrosion. £3.5k but located in cumbria which is 6hrs away from me
3- 05 plate Satin Silver Premier Edition, 92k, FSH with some lovely mods (intake, lowered, FRSU) - paint work looks lovely from the pictures and been advised no corrosion etc - £4.5k
My limit is £4.5k and initially i wanted Satin Silver like my old one but this time round a Premier Edition or 30th Anniversary, but after seeing a couple in NHB which look fantastic when cleaned, polished etc.
My question is a difficult one as, i could go for the 51 plate and have £2k left for mods, 04 NHB which would leave me with £1k for mods or the 05 Satin Silver Prem which would leave me with no money for mods but has been already tastefully modded. (although this one is in Glasgow!! but have made arrangements to view it)
I'm definitely going to view them all obviously.
Ideally i wanted to get a set of Evo 8 alloys and get them refurb'd in bronze like my original car:
Any advice would be appreciated but i know at the end of the day it comes down to my personal preference but wouldn't hurt to hear your thoughts..
its good to be back by the way :smt047
