Which DC5 Luxury to buy?

[m0nk3y]

i'm got my eye on a DC5 integra luxury now. i've got 2 options

1) 2005 HONDA INTEGRA MY05 Luxury, 57,500kms, body kit, leather, sunroof, 6 cdstacker, reverse sensors, 1 owner with full service books - $29990 driveaway

2) 2003 HONDA INTEGRA MY03 Luxury, 33,758kms, leather, sunroof (im assuming 1 owner/full service books, but havent asked the dealer yet)- $29980

Both cars are manual, silver, with all the regular integra luxury trimmings . both from dealers. 2005 model has more KMs but later model, 2003 has less kms, but earlier model/year.

which one would be the better option? dont recommend a typeR, or a private sale ( i know itll be slightly cheaper)

admins, move/delete thread if needed

Well it's up to you

One is newer but higher km's the other is older but lower km's
Go look at the condition of both cars and see which you like more? Drive both to see if they are any different to one another

But based on the above I'd go for #1 as there are more options with it

Go with the 03 man....thats a saving of $10!! You know how many maccas cones you can get with that? :p

Seriously tho...I'd probably go with the 05

I'd go for the 05. Even with the 24,000km difference, the resale should be higher than an 03.

go for the one that looks like a type s.

You should be able to pic up a 2002 DC5 Type R for about $30000
I payed that for my type r 18 months ago.

you can get a DC5 Special edition for cheaper.. will have ALL options, curtain air bags, full body kit, sunroof, foggies, leather etc etc for cheaper than that.. (thats if you wanna go for the older model)

although only 100 (or 200) special editions were made

Why not an R? Wanna go for a spin in one before you decide or is your mind made up?

well i've been in an ITR b4, and i'm not going to pass up on an R if the right one comes along.

i dunno, for some reason i didnt enjoy the rawness of the R, maybe because i'm coming from a background of my "luxurious" cars (libertys, accord euros etc)...yet i want a CTR eventually lol

Get the 2005 one bro..
worth it.. maybe u can bargain even more...
for 2003 with that price is just ridiculous..
2005 shud still have warranty for another year? as well as better resale price!!

Definately the facelifted model mate, better looking, come with sunroof and leather seat. It's the last integra generation so maybe better resale value. You can use my car as a reference.
