Contemplating an EP3R! Opinions please!

[dee-y]

Sounds reasonable. Might just put it under one of my rents names and me as a secondary driver.

What you guys think pricewise for that EP i listed before?

[Philip Lee]

look alright. the car seems stock with a mugen gear knob. i'd bargain another k or 2 off.

Gonna look at the car on saturday. Hopefully all goes well! Noww it doesn't have logs, (kinda expected that) will a VIN check do much? As long as I get it checkd out to see if it is fine mechanically, should all be good? Any signs I can check for wound back odo?

don't think you'll be able to check if the odo's been wound back until purchased.
vin check online, see if chassis has any welding marks, how many owners have had it, the usual stuff i guess.

Most of you EP owners have logs at all? Or is it quite standard for them to not have em

when bought from an import dealership and its straight from JP, generally there's no logbook, but if it's from private selller..there may or may not be one.
i'm not 100% on it...but there should be a logbook if it's from a private seller in australia. could someone confirm for me?

[stienerv2]

I got a logbook but i brought the car from a private seller. I also know another ep3 selling in cabra that has a logbook. That guy got his car from IMG.

So should the no log-book thing be much of an issue to worry about? Is there anyway I can get one once i purchase the car?

i started my own log book from 54k

some do some dont come with the original logbook

Where did u obtain the book from Johno? Or just kept a record of everything in a pad or reciepts or what not.

[JohnO]

yeah in servicing receipts gives assurance for next owner

I'll definitely be doing that if I get the car. But definitely getting it checked out by Centrax like Phil recommended.

ALSO forgot to ad the dealer said it comes with 5 years warranty which covers parts and labour. Seems decent or is it usually the case with imports.
