Intrest in a JDM 96' spec DC2

hey guys,

what are your thoughts and opinions on purchasing a JDM 96' spec DC2 for around 11k, with 270,000 on the clock.

the car also comes with the following mods.

Mugen 4-1 headers with test-pipe
Injen CAI
Mugen low temp thermostat
Tegiwa engine damper
Heavy duty clutch
Hondata S300 ECU (running on stock ECU atm)

Handling:
Front SPOON upper strut brace
Rear CUSCO upper strut brace
suspesion is factory as they are stiff enough already.
Oversized upgraded front brakes from a 98' spec
Potenza RE001 all round

Interier:
Clarion 7" dvd muti-media head unit with ipod, aux, usb and blu tooth capabilities.
12" pioneer Sub
500 watt Option Audio amp
oil pressure gauge
oil temp gauge
Fitted HID 6000k

Is this your car or one your intersted in buying?

How's the over all body condition ?

It's already a 16year old car and 270kms is about on the average but the Ks are still high.
Do a comp test to determine the engines health.

oh, its a car im interested in buying, and the overall body condition is great. Just the usual minor scratches here and there plus stone chips. Ty for the advice B-serious, but i doubt the owner let me run a test if i want to buy the car.

surrrrrreeeeeeeeee lol

but incase youre telling the truth just tell the owner that you want to have it checked out by a mechanic, then he can do a comp test there as well as check the car out on the hoist.

yeah ill try that approach and see where it leads me...

did u guys want a link to the car ad?

Yeah it does, love the look! :D. However, do u reckon its worth the 11k? the seller has lowed the price from 15k.

I'd buy it if its all good but probably try nego it down some more lol, pretty rare to come across a genuine one

get it checked out by a mechanic first to make sure it mechanically A1, if it is then yes its worth it. the dc2 type r's are still quite expensive for their age and high kms, they depreciate slowly, but they are obviously a great car to drive and thats one of the cheapest working dc2R's ive seen.

thanks for that HONDAPOWER234 ill do that! yeah it is cheap, it seems to good to be true tho haha! i better be quick then :D

I say go for it, if worse comes to worse and the b18 is on its last legs, put a stock k24 in, offer him 8k cash have transfer papers signed, tell him engines going out he will reconsider the price

they can, just need to be a yellow plate personal import.

I wouldn't spend 11k on a car with 270xxxkms, Just Sayin. No matter how good it was kept. things will start need replacing, and trying to sell it wont be easy.

270,000 for 11k? hmmm

Didn't end up buying the car, doesn't seem to be worth 11k or lower. Plus sooner or later things will break down n need replacing as the car is 16 years old ( point from intregragsi96 ). Ty for all of the comments tho :) 11k could be spent or be saved up on another car i reckon. EP3R would be my second choice, since its JDM :D cant get passed the JDM's!

i recommend buying a jdm front k swapped teg instead :P

lol this car has got around man
