That is awesome! Cheaper than I expected too.

curious, how do most of you consider this as cheap? yes its probably the only one, but a similar year cl9 with milleage would be around 13000-15000$. This is a good 10k more. If someone wanted it cause its rare I guess thats the only point. Else if you wanted it for performance, could easily SC a cl9 with that 10k difference in price.

Yeah its not exactly cheap when you think of it that way, but the car does come with the Euro-R kit, recaros, LSD and the K20.. doesnt make up the full price difference, but you gotta pay to play

There's an echo in here from page 4....

It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. I personally think 25k is a little bit steep, but someone may be willing to drop the $$$ to own a car that's unique in Oz. While it is a unique car, only JDM/Honda Type R heads and people in this forum are going to be able to tell it's a real Euro R, let alone know that it's any different to a garden variety Euro.

Aside from the differences mentioned above in standard kit for type R, when selling you won't get any of the money you put into SC and tuning back, whereas the Euro R will hold most of its value due to rarity/desirability. Im not saying the R is cheap , but putting 10K into SC a honda is a far worse 'investment'.

That, and while it is a lot of money, it's the same price as most clean EP3's. Silly to compare it to a lesser Euro. That's like saying an EP3R is not worth it because the normal Civic can be had for 8-12k depending on condition.........

I WANT that car.. Possibly the only one I'll ever find...

I'll need about $20k more to afford it :(

Damn so nice!!

:) :d :d :d :d :d :d

actually the Japanese VIN number is only 10 digits so it would look like CL7-XXXXXXX

When the car is imported to Australia it is issued a new 17 digit VIN
