Just a thought, but someone told me if it has the red badge on the back it could mean it is a Japanese Import (JDM). I don't know how true that is, but thought I would let you know just in case and you didn't that!

Absolute total rubbish.

Some owners just prefer red badges and change them.

Not sure about Honda paint being 'excellent' .... it's soft, thin and chips / marks very easily.

I've seen this on many, many cars of all marques in the same area, it's more a case of a stone chip that's gone untreated and allowed to fester rather than any evidence of a repair......

Hi All,

Thanks for replies So would you guys say its still worth going to view the car then despite the little imperfections. its a bit of a bargain for the cost all things considered really

Badge wise its quite weird its got like the 'S' in red on a grey background? would probably replace with proper honda badges though

Budget in about £500 for the sills/arches.

After that, i'm sure you'll have a good car

IMO keep looking.
Lots about and very cheap too.
Crazy to compromise on a car many are trying hard to offload.
The insurance is a killer.
