Hey guys, I'm currently on a hunt for a dc5r
I'm from Melbourne but also looking interstate
I came across this one on carsales.
http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/HONDA-INTEGRA-13829920

I've offered him a cheaper price and he has accepted. Also the photos are pretty old so I asked for some new ones.

Just want to get your experienced opinions on it and what I should look for and if anyone's had experience with this car in the past, Thanks.

So you offered less than $12k and he accepted?

Suspiciously cheap.

Yeah. That's what I'm thinking. Very cheap, just want to know if anyone has inspected it in the past

I dont think its cheap i think its a fair price for a 10+ year ols car. At the end of the day its only a DC5R there is nothing that makes them special to be worth alot.

Yeah, that's true. But it's still very cheap compared to other dc5's on the market, I haven't seen any at this price through out the year I've been looking.

I'd recommend an racv check which costs around 240 give or take. They tell you every detail about the car mechanically and aesthetically, and examine if its been in an accident before etc. It's definitely a good price for this car. If it really is clean then it's a bargain. Good luck on your sale!

Just get a 3rd party inspection done, check its accident history and finance, if he refuses anything run
