any tips/things to bear in mind for buying ep3R?

im thinking of getting one fairly soon. they all show very low kms and good condition!

any help would be much appreciated

do the usual checks like any other cars. Check for driver and front mounts if its showing tear they are usually first to go.

Generally reliable car. just a few issues to look for:

- engine mounts as said by Perry. common problem, not costly to fix;
- steering rack noise. also common issue, just need to grease it up;
- central locking stuff up. just need to replace it, aftermarket stuff will do;
- lever on the recaro falls off, very easy to fix, can be DIY.

also check the following:
- check the equipments to see if you are buying a normal type r or a Comfort package (most common);
- check if the car has factory HID if it's a C package. (some RAW replaced them with normal helogens);

otherwise general used car checks.

Need to use DC5R tie rod ends and lower rear shock eyelet need to be grounded down by about 4-6mm.

Hi guys, I'm in Perth and would like to get an EP3 but they are hard to find here. I need your recommendations as to any good and trustworthy dealers or private sellers from over east to get one from. I wanted to get one from JSA but after some research I think maybe not. Any help will be good guys so that I can join your ranks!
