Integra DC5 - difficult to sell?
Discussion
I could do with a car to run for a while while I fix my daily s
t box.
I've always wanted a DC5, I might go buy a red one. They dont appear too expensive to run but Ive come from an E92 M3 so was used to running that
Are they slow to shift on? I don't intend to keep it long (unless I actually like it but I doubt I will), maybe 6 months or so and I dont mind losing a couple of £ if I needed to shift it on cheap.
Just worried Ill end up stuck with it. There are cars FS that have been about for a while (I think I recognise a few in the classifieds that have been there ages).

One i was looking at SP04 LML has been in a minor crash although is HPI clear. New steering rack and other suspension components in 2013 as a result. I will avoid.

Yes and no...
I've owned my red one for 2 years. They hold their value very well, however you have to really want one to pay the money for a decent one, it is a 16yo honda after all...this means a lot of people settle for EP3s.
Prices have dipped slightly in the last month as quite a few are coming up for sale before coming off the road for winter...bad time of year to sell really.
In the summer there are usually fewer for sale and good ones command good money.
Unmodified low milers sell better, a lot of people want Champ white and red seats, but there is deffo a market for the rarer colours like the red.
At the end of the day they are a desirable car thats holding value, as long as the price reflects the current market, the car has been maintained, and theres no rust around the rear wheel arches, then selling shouldn't be a problem.
I could be persuaded to sell mine for the right price
What do you want for it? How bad is your clutch? Can email me if you likeI've owned my red one for 2 years. They hold their value very well, however you have to really want one to pay the money for a decent one, it is a 16yo honda after all...this means a lot of people settle for EP3s.

Well I guess sometime I'll find out the answer to my question.....
The DC5 has hugely exceeded my expectations within a couple of hours. Honestly not had this much fun in a car for years it feels fun at 50mph even. The E92 m3 can go b
ks. Remimds me of my old Megane 275 but better. Diff will take some getting used to like the Megane but it's useful to drag yourself round corners.Steering is sublime as well.
Had some bloke in a GTI asking me about it at the petrol station and taking photos of it within 5 minutes of owning it!
Can't believe I waited this long to own one.
