Finally picked up my 'new' car last night. Its a manual 06 lux version. With factory sat nav and only 68k on the clock. In perfect condition. No accident or any damage. Absolutely mint condition! Pretty happy with my purchase......full Honda log book servicing and everything.....

Have driven it for about 2 hours in total so far and damn am I impressed! Moved up from a 96 civic to this.....now I know why these cars were rated one of the best! I wanted a black with black interior in lux but they are as rare as hens teeth! So in the end, settled for metallic grey with black interior.The beige interior with black didn't take my fancy as much.

Here are some pics for you to enjoy......time to get a few subtle mods going......after I find out all the little things the car can do first that i didn't know about haha

Nice, black only came with beige interior at the time, hence why it's hard to find.

If it's got full Honda service history then you might wanna give it a engine fluid change with some nice full synthetic oil :thumbsup:

Nice car, good price!

Black on black was available from late 2006 onwards.

Get a strut tower bar up front and thicker sway bar out the back... THEN you'd see how well it handles.

How much would you expect to pay for that combo , looking at doing it sometime this year . is it same ride quality ? should i get front and rear sway bars and strut brace as well ? what are your thoughts

You dont have to get strut bar and sway bar at the same time as your suss. Just upgrade as you go. :D

I started with the bar's cause they are cheap. The stock suspension isn't all that bad, you just have to limit the body flex a bit, unless you want to lower the sucker :-p

I saw this on Carsales when I was looking for mine in January/February this year. Very nice car.. I was eyeing this one off but had my heart set on a black one.. Ended up buying one in Melbourne and transporting it back to Brisbane. You got a great price. Car looks immac! Really wish mine had the sat nav! makes the interior look just that much better!

Are you located in Brisbane?
