Buying a DC5R. need some help

[totojojo]

hey guys im new here.
have been looking for a dc5r for a while. i prefer a championship white one but theres not many out there and also in good condition.
just went to see a red one today. it has done 72ks on the clock and almost everything stock except a aftermarket intake and exhaust(i cant see what brand are they)
price is now $23,000. is it worth buying it?
any other stuff should be checked on a dc5r?
thank you all in advance, really need some help. cant wait to join the itr family

what year model?
check the service history. conditon of seats and stuff like that just so you kno how the owner treated the car.
have a proper feel of the gears. if they go in smoothly just things like that really.rego? price imo seems good.
please if ur really serious abt the car. get it checked out, revs and shit like that and also get it inspected i prefer state roads they a little expensive but worth the piece of mind.

good luck with the buy.

thanks dude.
the guy selling it has full service history from 48,000km till now(48ks when he bought it) but there is no log book which means i dont hav past record until 48000ks.
rego is ended by the end of this year.
just wondering who and where can i go for car inspections in mel?
thank you

state roads they started in melb and came to syd n bris
http://www.stateroads.com.au/ thats the site. they inspect the car inside out. but im not sure who you would see to check if there is any money owing on the car. maybe ask the rta.

are you in any rush of getting a car?? if not..i'd recommend waiting..coz i was in your position not too long ago.
was looking for a CW dc5r with low k's and good condition. i found one with low k's and good condition..just not CW..decided to get it.
now i wouldn't mind selling up to get a CW one or even better..a CW ep3..just don't have the funds. haha
depends how bad u want CW though..guess i wanted it quite bad LOLOL

yeh seriously money is the first thing. i dont have 25k+ for a better CW dc5r or ep3. maybe just buy a red one for now and save up and wait. lol
