integra dc5 prices

[p1tse]

are these still solid money or slowly dropping due to age related, mileage

obvioulsy those lower mileage and top spec ones will appeal to enthusiasts and still command high prices, but the average models with average miles, are these still as solid considering of the usual higher import insurance prices etc.

i'm tempted if i can get one for c.£6k and not loose any money on it if i kept for a year


my main concern if it's been a well used one and the longevity of clutch and gearbox 2nd 3rd syncro i hear about costs

I'd say they've dipped in price recently. This seems like a fairly tidy example:

Being a Honda, it will be properly reliable. As long as the gearbox has been looked after with regular fluid changes, I can't see too many problems.

Yeah something like that but really £6k budget and no more
For me

I think i have made my mind up that a DC5 will be my next car. I had an EP3 CTR and hated the electric power steering. I understand the DC5 is hydraulic and alot better car though.

also has LSD

Prices are flat though, rough ones at £5k
TLC ones at £6k
nice ones £8k
for pre facelift I would say

insurance is the higher cost being import though

Have you considered a DC2? You could get a stunning UK market example and still have change left over from your £6k budget, and it wont depreciate very much either.

Wow. Don't like the dodgy numbers just stuck on the dials for MPH! Looks proper ghetto

Would have been easier to do the conversion than the stickers!?

DC5s are sooo much better looking though.

[p1tse]

dc2 are good looking to IMO, but not as fresh looking compared to DC5

i'm tempted, but prices are all over the place.

Has anyone got any recommendations for an importer. I want a mint low millage DC5 either C/W with red Recaro's or maybe a Milano red but i know they are rare

[mr2-turbo-gar]

You should have a look over here in Ireland, prices are a lot more competitive for DC5's over here because we never had the EP3 as an official Honda import so lads picked up DC5's & JDM EP3's rather than the UKDM EP3's because of the higher spec list so there is a fair few for sale over here the whole time. Try www.donedeal.ie

Thanks i will keep looking on there, as well as pistonheads, autotrader, ebay and gumtree!

I'm tempted to see if I can find someone who will take my FN2 as a direct swap, quite fancy a DC5 and would (hopefully) be a bit more depreciation proof.

Can a decent one of these be picked up around the £7000 mark?...

You should have a look on the owners website www.itr-dc5.com they have a forsale section. You will find some very well looked after examples on there.
Plus a good source of any information you might need.
