The premier edition has tinted back windows, momo steering wheel and embosed Type R front brake calipers, among other things i think, been a while since i checked! For that money i would want a premier edition.
You're missing the best bit - The Recaro seats!You're car looks lovely though, low mile standard ones will always get a bit of a premium. Not many of those left!

What a numpty... cracking seats though! I only do about 6k miles a year but ive used it pretty much every day since 2007, it is garaged but used every day... its not great in snow!I think the reason the prices are pretty good is due to so many that have been ragged about and not looked after, well looked after ones will hold a premium.

There are quite a few for sale for CTRO, although they may not be what you are after. I think you may know that already though as I think I have spotted the car you were looking at which just sold 
Yep, there's nothing on CTRO that interests me currently, and yes, you've probably spotted the one I was talking about. Jenzo - do you have a ballpark as to what you think your car would sell for ?
My car sounds very similar to yours, and I'm trying to decide whether to keep it or sell. Ive a Focus RS on order, and was offered such a low trade in that I'm thinking of just keeping the Type R.
Mine is also on 48k, 2006 Premier in nighthawk black, and I've owned it for 10 years now. I bought it from the main dealer in Glasgow when it was 5 months old - first owner was the dealer who loaned it to Rangers, who they used to sponsor.
It's in superb condition all round, totally standard apart from the stereo, and all MOT's and receipts from new. Servicing was main dealer for the first 3 years, then Honda specialist ever since.

Sounds like we have similar cars - only that mine is Cosmic Grey. If I sold it, I would not take anything less than 7.5K for it and I know I will sell it for that. I would be aiming for the same if I was you : ) Good genuine examples are hard to come by in the market now and demand is high for well cared for EP3s that have not been caned.

Really? I suspect the market for a £7.5k UK car is going to be small.
Bloody hell and here was me thinking 5.2k was a bit expensive for a UK car!
Hi JimiBloody hell and here was me thinking 5.2k was a bit expensive for a UK car!
We are talking about a car here with 48K miles, a premier edition with FHSH. Under Honda warranty its just had: major service including plugs, 2nd gear syncro done, complete new clutch, brand new steering rack, x4 oem tyres, discs and pads all round (3K bill alone for that work)-car is like new and bone dry underneath - its worth 7.5K all day long.

Tbh, that would have alarm bells ringing for me.
