Buying EP3

Cheers everyone. Thanks so much for your advice. I'm probably planning to go down IMG to have a further look at their EP3.

How common is the cracked engine mount issue and squeaky steering? Also I've done some further reading on the forums and there seems to be this issue with master clutch cylinder?

Did any one of the ep3 buyers have this issue when you purchased? Or is this mainly a normal service issue after driving heaps until service time? ie 5,000km

Apologies for so many questions....I'm kinda new to this lol.

It's not something to be too deeply concerned over. I've had my car for close to a year with no trouble.. except for a stuffed aftermarket alarm and an isolated headlight problem. All in all, just make sure the car has been taken care of and you won't run into any problems.

Thanks Symphorced.
I was just reading some posts before and noticed keepitlow just bought the 2004 EP3R from IMG.

Can't wait to find a good EP3 in good condition. Very hard car to find these days.

I had a 04 model, which the steering rack issue may have been recalled and rectified i guess. But i had my 04 model for almost 3 years with no squeaky steering wheel.

The engine mounts are a wear and tear item so depending how you drive etc and actual kms on the ep3, engine mounts will need to be replaced sooner or later.

Cheers everyone thanks so much for your help.

I've just joined the EP3 family. Just got a EP3 from IMG and picking it up next saturday. =)

Hey man.... that's cool!!!!!! :)

hahahaa I might see you when I pick up my car then~

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

You make no sense mate.

Every now and then I see you coming into EP3 threads trying stir something. What gives? *Rolls Eyes*
