very funny. Comparing a newer car to an older model. Well if your comparing. A worked dc2r then ok. Stock from stock same k's n condition its pretty obvious
Either cars aren't antiques nor value increase

I had mine for sale for 6 months waiting for that die hard and the best offer i got was 19, i know the k's are not below average, but it was one of two yellows for sale in the country for most of that time.Quote:

You're also only looking at it very one sided XPO2ED.
As Bludger said earlier "A car is only worth as much as someone is prepared to pay".
I don't think Bludger and I actually said that DC2R's are worth more than DC5R's (correct me if I'm wrong). All we mentioned was the $23k~ range for a good low KM DC2R.
there's no point arguing with n00bs, they just bring you down to their level and own you with experience...
lol, saya read the thread.. and my response wasnt to bludger... he replied to mine.. i agree that its what buyers want to pay for it..
end of the day... stock from stock... no way it will cost more..

but on a mileage basis, dc2r retains value much better than dc5r - evidenced by the selling prices which are still high today. this is the truth. dc5r fanboys please accept it. and it retains a higher value if it's stock because a LOT of dc2r's are modified.
but if people decide to buy a dc2r for 30k over a dc5r for 30k stock for stock then they obviously thought it was a better car. simple as that. the differences between the two are not exactly subtle anyway.
how do uno that a dc2R retains more value than a dc5R? by carsales prices?
Regards to DC5R sell price.. ive seen several sell for 25k.. stock that is with say 100ks on the clock? or near? u saying a dc2R with 100ks or near on the clock will sell for 25k?
its all debatable till the cows come home, but there must be a buyer:)
nope, thats what you said.Quote:

that the dc2r is already close to 10 years old, brand new for about 42k and still selling easily for 23-25k in good condition and low km's, isnt that enough proof that it retains value well?Quote:

don't get so defensive, dc5r fanboys. if it can still sell for 25k in good condition in 2010/2011, then it's retained its value well too :) but who knows, by then the dc2r might be 22k or something. its impossible to predict the future. at the least everyone should accept that yes - dc2r has aged well and will continue to.
No offence, i think it's because alot of the DC5R owners can afford to drop the price a bit. While the DC2R owners are trying to salvage every penny they can out of a sale.
lol, yes, its ok to insinuate that i'm a tightarse
LOOOL
AGREEED....Quote:

As i said.. same condition.. stock from stock..
no way a dc2R will sell more than a dc5R..
Just accept it..
BTW.. i can also say..
the dc5r sold for 42k new.. and my mate sold his for 34k.. after 5-6 years of owning it..
You guys have been bashing the DC5R's resale values and the car overall... surely you can take a little hit.Quote:

problem is, I never claimed a comparison with dc5r to dc2r, I just said i over my dead body I will sell mine for less than 23K
:)
XPO2ED started the comparison with this post :)Quote:

I know cos i would buy it for that much, its mint
I think Kiz_EG6 did by saying it was more "Raw".
A car is only worth as much as a person is willing to pay for it, and how much the owner is willing to sell it for. There are many people still paying 31k+ for a good condition DC5R. There are many DC2R's advertised for high prices but they don't necessarily sell for that price.
A DC2R isn't a classic, yet. So why are you guys acting like it is?
cos to my mind, its worth it:)
Fair enough, I would too. That car has less km's than mine as well. But I would also pay more for Jing's DC5R if he sold it before AND after he started going crasy with it as that thing was mint IMO.Quote:

I bought the car 3 years ago with just a smidgen over 10k kms. And I sure did not pay $30k. :cool:Quote:

But agree that a car is only as much as somone is prepared to pay. Its not a question of what car holds its value more or whats more popular or whats better. And who cares. Get what you can get.
AMEN...Quote:

ah not gna waste anymore time.. keep it to thread..
u read.. coz i neva denied anything..
nah i cbf getting into an argument either
like i said, in the end dc5r is worth more than dc2r because its obviously the newer car. but then if someone is willing to pay the same price for a dc2r and dc5r stock for stock they obviously like the car very much.
everyone likes to buy cheap and sell as much as possible. its rational human behaviour.
at the end of the day both type r's are cool. and yeah, i already sold mine for 23k but got offers of 23.5k and 24k. however, first come first served. its not best honda ever, but it has character.
'00 DC2R with 153,000km ... all of them enjoyed
01 Dc2r 54,000
I believe the price of the cars comes down to 'supply and demand' this subject can be researched online by asking dr google.
you will find something to the effect of. when item's are in short supply, and high demand, their price goes up.
i'm sure someone out there can figure out how many dc2r owners are willing to part with their baby v how many people would love to have one
01 5r
59xxx km's
I was thinking about buying a 02 type R on carsales with only like 7,800kms.. been garaged most its live apprently..
I saw it on carsales over 2 yrs, check it out carefully when u do the inspection, should be sth wrong about it otherwise it should been sold for age.
LOL funny shit.
DC2R > DC5R. hahaha!!
It seems that DC2R owners are definatley more passionate about their cars than DC5R owner. Most DC5R owners are posers... :wave:
00' DC2R - 151,400km's....
yeah, i have actually gone and checked it out (as he lives close by) and everything looks right.. Interior is immaculate, recaros look f**king awesome brand spanking new, engine bay looked brand new, logbook seems to be legit,Quote:

00 dc2r 71,000km. :)
02 DC5R... 16,000 km.....
01 DC5R - 122,000 kms - 2000 track kms
I see, if that car owned by a owner of worshop, u should make sure everything is right, if u want to get it, checked by RACQ, if pass, should be safe.

00 dc2r just clocked 80,000
just a query that's been bothering me, say IF the previous owner had kept the car in good running condition, and has around 160,000 k's on it, will it be able to run for 80,000 k's more and still just require the odd serivicing?? very noob in this field please don't flame.
Will need other things changed when it hits the 200km for example will need timing belt changed and all that other stuff like every 40,000ks fluids such as clutch and gearbox will need to be changed if the car has been looked after that doesn't mean things wont need to be replaced just depends how lucky you are as closer to 200ks means more things getting old.Quote:
