Hey!! So I'm in the market for a new car due to some unfortunate circumstances and have decided an EP3 Type R is the direction I want to go. Iv never owned a Honda and don't really have any experience with any of the VTEC units but love the thought of a 8000rpm N/A engine stuck to a well sorted front drive chassis. I know they are very reliable cars but due to my lack of knowledge I still have a question. With my budget of around £3500 I'm struggling to find a car with less than 100.000k on the clock, with other cars I have brought in the past any with over 100K on the clock was a definite gamble but with the Honda I'm wondering if that's still the case.

So basically I'm asking if it's a safe bet to buy a 100k plus civic type R and if so what are the must's when looking at a example ?.

Thanks in advance
