Love these. Owned a DC2 a few years back which was a brilliant car, but I think the DC5 looks way better. I occasionally look at the classifieds and they just never seem to drop in price either.

Tried buying one of these s few years back as a cheap track toy but som many were a bit un-loved to say the least. Yours looks very tidy however and you probably won't lose much (if any) in depreciation smile
They also rot pretty badly in the inner rear arches, fuel filler area and rear valance as well if they haven't been properly under sealed. I had the rear bumper taken off our one and all the hangers were just rotten and hanging off. That's why we decided to get shot and would have kept it if it weren't for that.

This looks likes a really nice one, but I'd be keeping a close eye on those bits.
You're correct they do suffer from rust, as IIRC Japan don't seal their car in anyway as their road don't have salt, I checked this over properly. not a patch of rust, When I had the clutch done, we were going to underseal the underside of the car, to my surprise it had already been done, and I wash the underside and arches thoroughly every time I clean my car.
