The price depends on the year model. the cheapest i saw recently was about RM108k for 03 pre facelift model. don't know the condition though.

for pro and con as NFS mentioned earlier...you may wanna check the other thread!

very tempting for 03 model, the ones I've seen are like 120K still? I would like to check this out myself...let me know where if possible.

Hope it's a unreg model.

The main con with buying this type of car is buggers wanna steal it and they always cucuk you....

But i never have that problem with my car, coz people think its a cute 2 dr Jazz...

 

[gnoy26]

seriously u guys are not much help =P

kidding...

hey pm me info on the 03 100k+ DC5...
really interested here...

please convince me also this is better than the lancer =P dilemma!

 

[NFS]

waaayyy better than lancer ... unless u r speaking of EVO's ... thats different category already ...

DC5R should be on 120-130K range .... 10X seems fishy to me ...

Don't be fooled by type S ... one of our member nearly conned for the type S ...

Yeah, i was over there checking that car out.

So this is what i managed to observe, with the help of my dad.
It's got a fresh coat of paint on the outside.
It's seems to be repainted on the inside, the VIN tag has some paint on it.
Prolly no major accidents, as far as noob eyes can tell.

No Type R gear knob, Salesman don't know where the second key is.
Rust stains all over, can't find rust corrosion but there are the copper-ish rust marks near most of the hinges front and back.
The drain hole at the spare tyre compartment seems to be destroyed. i can see thick welding marks around it. Not sure exactly what is it tho, or if it is supposed to be that way, never really checked one to that detail before because no other car ever fell to my price range before :P

Using some China made tyre at the front, seats pretty worn. carpets pretty worn as well.
Wasn't able to take it for a spin tho. Can't really compare.


Pros:
It's cheaper :P
Really low milage. 21k iirc (unless those can be tempered with)

Bump: added, the code is
LA-DC5
ED5-1004434
Type R
S6M2 0C0-NH0

thanks a lot for the review kimoka!

maybe you are rite i think the milage had been tempered?

or it was used extensively purely for track day in its previous life?

RM 108k thats cheap!
