Ohh, JDM Numbah One! [emoji23]

Personally though I would prefer a stock unit. We do not know if the car has been raced, or the quality of the modification work, especially if the owner is selling for cheap. Should you plan on modifying the car, an already modified unit takes half the fun out of it!

Also with 250k, you can already get an FD...

The EK is truly a timeless design. A well kept unit will not look out of place among a parking lot of new cars.

However, I am deterred by its lack of safety features. For a car that is supposed to be designed to go fast, there are no airbags, no ABS, and non SiR variants still have rear drums.

I am a believer of the idea that the car is sort of like a painting by its owner. A car that is already set up reflects the previous owner's artistry and not mine. [emoji28] Therefore, an all original, bone stock unit is more valuable in my eyes.

Also, if I were getting an EK, it would be either the SiR or nothing! [emoji23]

Yes, I meant the legit PADEK454 SiR. [emoji1]

A now-deceased family member used to drive a 2000 SiR (in passion orange, no less!), from 2000-2005. I believe he sold it for around 400k at the time, and replaced it with a brand new Accord 2.4 for 1.4M, which he drove for 11 years before he passed away. We only got around to selling the Accord a few months ago. It had an aircon problem, which we for some reason could never find the right part for. So it was sold for just 150k.

I find it funny that the previous SiR is actually worth way more now than the Accord that replaced it. And its value has not budged in the over 10 years since we sold it! Already a classic! Definitely worth the extra 50-100k over a souped up VTi, if you have the budget.

Should you really want that VTi though. I suggest you go for a cheaper, stock, all original unit and then modify it yourself. The sense of achievement of building your own is priceless!

Those engine mods alone tell me they've been pushed hard.

[benchph1]

I’m a Honda boy myself, owned a few over the years. I love the EK generation. Golden years yan ng Honda including the EG (92-95 civic)

But for me, at least dapat may ABS & Driver/Passenger air bags. Minimum safety feature requirement ko yan. In other countries though may airbags ang EK civics. Not sure ABS.

It depends.. I mean if you want an upgraded civic for the power? maybe they're ok. Ask what kind of oil they use. Additives if any. Some hide engine noise with viscosity thickeners. Or if they use 15w50 or thicker. Smoke on the tail pipe?

Buying these oldies depend on two things, engine ok-ness and the rust.

Go stockengine

sir.
if i see one, with an accessorized list that long, and ends with "never been raced",
i would be wary.

these models are not that plentiful, and their owners probably know each other already.
i'd probably ask around, whether the owner in fact did race his car.

un nga po eh.. im a little skeptical

so im leaning to stock civic like the others suggest

and someone is also offering HONDA CIVIC 1.8v 2007 at 250k with 66k millage

too good to be true with that millage? flooded maybe? or im just finding faults here

250k is the normal going rate for a 2007 1.8V FD. My aunt sold hers for 220k last year.

Also, if you're getting an FD, get the 1.8S at the very least. It comes with ABS which you can't add as an aftermarket mod, and is a very useful safety feature. Usually just 20k more expensive than a similar age/mileage 1.8V.

The EK is only a better car than the FD in terms of affordable tuning potential for track use. As a daily driver, the FD is better, newer, more comfortable, more reliable.

But if you really like the EK then go ahead. Just know that you're paying for a 20-year old car for the same money that can get you a 12-year old car. From my personal experience with secondhand cars, anything older than 10 years old tends to need much more maintenance than a younger car.

You said you are a newbie to cars. Whether it be an EK or an FD, best to start with a stock vehicle and then slowly modify to your liking. Heavily modified vehicles may have very different "personalities" and preferences from a stock vehicle.

66k is very low mileage for a 2007 model. My 2007 Santa Fe has 98k on the clock and is already considered low mileage for its age. It is not impossible though, especially if the owner has multiple vehicles and this one is just a backup or coding car. But for used vehicles, always take the mileage reading with a grain of salt and make sure the car's condition is in agreement with the mileage claimed.

Sadly, even 2019 car mileage can be "doctored" for P2500.

An earlier post, to which I agree with, advised to look at the overall condition of the car vis-a-vis its age, which is gonna be tough for you as you are a newbie as you stated.

My vote goes to all stock, all original = more fun.

Good luck

117K kms for a 20 year old car...

The previous owner only used the car for 17kms per day (28days per month)

SM North to UST... I feel like may mali sa odo.
