civic type r for the missus

[no-worries88]

Evening people of PH. My other half has just passed her test and now looking for her car. We've had a look round test drove a few etc. Her budget isn't great (3k). She has her heart set on a civic type R, she knows see not going to be getting the best example for her money, but what should we be looking out for when buying? Any help would be great. Thanks

I don't think there's to much that goes wrong with them to be honest. The main thing i would look for when looking to buy one would be service history. When test driving make sure that you can select 2nd gear ok as sometimes the Syncro's wear which can cause difficulty selecting 2nd gear. I've also linked you to the Type R owners Civic buying guide which should prove helpful for you.
