Can you get a half decent CTR for £4.5k
Looking at cars for her indoors last night and she announced that she would like an old shape Civic Type-R.
Didn't really have much time to browse and have not done any research yet but thought I'd ask you clever lot for your opinions. Will £4.5k buy me anything worth having or would I just end up with a pile of broken parts for that money? I don't mind tinkering and am proficient with spanners but I don't want to be spending every waking moment fixing things when I could be spending time tinkering with the S2000. Ta Gary |
Looking on autotrader, there are quite a few for under £4.5k - in fact over 70 cars. Obviously some will be dogs, but you may get something reasonable. Hondas are usually well screwed together, so may not be such an issue - just need to look around and check a few out.

EPS tends to go on early <2002 cars, but apart from that, they are pretty hard wearing items.
Only problem you'll have is that a lot of them will have been driven/abused by fools. Otherwise, I see a good value, practical, fun car :thumbup: |
Very lucky to get a 'classic' that cheap. Though being Japanese, it ought to be mint.
Likely an appreciating asset soon. |
Turns out you can get a mint unabused 05 facelift model for £6k. :D
By golly it's an absolute HOOT!! :burnrubr: |
Come on then lets have some pictures and more info.
Will be in the market for one at about this price in spring for the other half. |
Was dark when we got home and now I'm full of man-flu. If I can drag myself outside tomorrow I'll take some pics and bung them up.
It's so easy to drive, either just popping to the shops or for a blat and it's quite nippy. Just need to remove the rear window tints as that's the only non-standard thing about it. |

Yeah, I've seen one of those. :thumbup:
This is far too dark though. Almost black. I'm guessing it's not legal tint and it looks chavvy IMO. |
