Yeah, I've been thinking of going the US route, sounds like $49k will get you out the door!

Still warranty in the US? Inconvience but I've never had to use it yet.

I'd sell my SPA for $36 ish.

Next year $32

Paint over-spray is a pretty good indication...
Also, check that all the vin stickers are present a.k.a. "Anti-theft label".
A theft label should be on each fender, door, hood, trunklid, bumpers. If you want, tomorrow I can find out all the exact sticker locations. Missing stickers usually means the panel has been replaced or repaired.

dude sound really fishy,
i would pass I have a 01 and it was in mint shape with 26 thousand on it. i paid 38 thousand for mine.
If you have your heart set on it just take it to honda and get them to check the frame for straitness , i have a feeling it will not be strait.
also check for uneven tire wear.

Have a Honda dealer take a look at it and safety it if you are still considering. They won't put their name on anything that might be unsafe or suspicious.

Nope, I am not considering buying it all... check my post on the second page.

I was going to bring a mechanic friend to take a second look at the car lastnight but after posting this thread... HELL NAH!!!!

Anyway, I not dissing the F20C but the car felt weak when I banged it thru the gears. I didnt feel much of a pull when it switched over from lo to hi cam, didnt hear the VTEC grunt and yes, I was taking it the 9K redline.

Maybe because the max torque is higher in the rev range? Please keep in mind, I am used to the h22.

Maybe the engine was ed up too?
