Seriously, a DC2R is built to be driven vigorously , even in stock form....... if you don't drive it hard then you have no idea of they potential of the car. Its all about the level of maintainence and service history.

Skit- A car that has moderate mods, using quality parts and reasonably low km's is fine IMO, you just need to check it out properly.
On the other hand I can understand why you want to buy a stock car and modify it to your own taste, I bought my own DC2r 6 years ago in stock form.
