I thought this is one of the cars not p plate restricted?

[EKVTIR-T]

Yes thats what I mean

nowadays type R are attractive to P platers so many get abused as a 1st or 2nd car till they get off P and buy a proper sport car or turbo

hence more and more thrashed type Rs

i dont understand why you cant respect your own property as a p-plater.

I guess the first batch of EP's imported with no indicators on the fenders are even more rare than.

Very true. I think its because of this it makes it even harder to find a good idea quality one. If the car is well looked after it just means it's much easier to sell.

Just cause its type r doesn't mean it has to be thrashed lol. Don't know some p plater's lol.
Took me a while to find a mint one before, but looks like it's even harder now as there aren't much ep3s coming in.

Yep indeed. Getting rarer but not looked after by owners.

[flop101]

it costs more or less the same amount of money to get one imported with less kms then most of the ones being sold on carsales.

Not all P-platers thrash and abuse their cars, I got my P-plates 5 days ago and I've owned my EP3 for about 4 months now and it's seen two services, washed and polished weekly. Of course I like to hit vtec here and there but other then that I treat my car as it were my girlfriend.

[UNA91]

Young P platers spending their life savings and buys a rare car... thrashes it.

[viett]

I wouldn't consider an EP3 as a rare car, something like an EG6 would be rare.
But yeah who doesn't hit vtec once in a while?
