Where to buy an EP3?

[Conor D]

Apart from the usual classifieds which are very good - are there any specific owners clubs etc to check out for an EP3? I have signed up to 'Type R Owners' and 'Civic Type-R' but my accounts haven't been confirmed so I'm unable to see if they even have a 'for sale' section.

I have a Toyota Auris that I'll be getting rid of so an ideal situation would be an Indy who would take my car almost in exchange. Failing that I'll have to sell and wait for a while..

Particularly I'm after a late 2005 or early 2006 EP3 Premier Edition, probably cosmic grey.

I have realised that the Insurance/Tax/Mpg are going to be the same for an EP3 as my MX5.. So the 5 might stay off the road for another year if I can find a nice Type-R.

Whilst I'm on the topic how do EP3's generally handle miles? Look to be quite a few 50-90k - is there anything to worry about over 100k with these?

Out of interest. What would people's opinion be on the value of an ep3 premier edition. Black with aircon. Completely Standard, full honda service history 73,000 be worth?

From what I've seen they're going for anything from £5000-6500.

Thanks for the comments.

I have looked at the exact car I am looking that is pretty local. Everything is clean and all appears good but the drivers rear quarter has been painted. I had a look and there isn't any sign of a big impact underneath (at a quick look), although I did spot a part number on the drivers/rear control arm so it needs some more inspection to make sure it hasn't been hit.
