Hey

Hi guys,

So, I'm buying a EP3 off of a dealer with finance, its a 2005 (55) Premier Edition, cosmic grey. The only bad point is its 70k miles. Is this a worry, because I'm a bit sceptical..

because of the mileage

okay, excellent that's what i needed to here. its got a full service history. Do i pay AA for an inspection or do a look over my self, and i had a look on the check list on here and thats quite a lot to look at aha

One of our long lost member recently came back on board and his original EP3 is still going strong after 217k miles 8)

wow.. Honda engines are built to last then.

My dads had 2 CTR's, hes had the FN2 and the Mugen 20 one, so i know they are good machines

 

[pauledwards]

so, do i get an AA inspection or use the checklist?

i know cars to an extent, i mean on my current car i did everything, fixed the whole front end when i had a crash, changed the alternator, did my own services, so i know a fair bit..
and i don't really wanna spend 180 quid on it as well

Check it your self you obviousley have above average knowledge of cars.

70k is not a lot, mine is on 136k and still drives spot on. Just take your time driving and checking it over and don't be rushed by the sales guy. You could also ring the dealer/s who have been servicing it to clarify history etc, especialy if done by Honda.

Mines at 115k miles and never had a problem with it
