Nah, EP3 prices are dropping too even though they are more "JDM". Saw a nicely modded one by Raph with genuine mugen goodies trying to sell for 15 and still can't. But I do have to say, DC5R has dropped a lot more drastically amongst the Hondas recently.
I would like to point out these DC5R's going for 12-13K you are referring to all have around 200 000kms and have been molested by the 10 previous owners hence their price. A clean DC5R with low KMS will fetch a very high price Especially if it is in Championship white. Ive seen good ones going for 18-20K
The reason ep3r are holding their values is because they are imports and all generally have low Km's so they fetch a consistent price.
I bought my Championship White DC5R with 135 000 km for 17.5K and couldn't be more happier.
depends what u want, a daily would send me toward the DC5r or EP3r
just because its a lil softer newer engine more reliable very practical.
if you dont care about that you can go for the faster car of the lot (stock) the S2000 or the most rigid and probably easiest to drive with best handling, the DC2R.
keep in mind the DC2r is older least power of the lot, bit less than a DC5r. but it has good boot space when u need it and u can always k swap.
