I'd show preference to the 3rd one at £3k as it looks like a private sale and looks well looked after. The other 2 are sceptical imo, the silver one with missing seats is just daft, surely they should know what other mods its got to class it as a track car. It's obviously lowered, but no idea of coilovers or some random budget springs for a wild drop and ***** handling. The other black one i'd maybe go to see if it was local but other than that i'd give it a miss

Having had one for 4 years, driven plenty and detailed more than a few you can only really tell how good , or bad for that matter, these cars are when you see them in the flesh and get a drive.

Register on AccordR.org and I can guarantee someone on their has driven or has owned 2 out of the 3 of those advertised :)

I sold mine with 125,000 miles and got roughly, what I paid for it but I piled a lot of time and money into the car. It was in better condition than a few others I had come across with 40,000 miles less.

The point I am trying to make is that kept well, the H22 engine has been known to go on for more than 200,000 miles on standard internals and produce a healthy 212bhp all day long.

Hi Paul and Bue Guru,

Thanks for the advise you confirmed my thoughts only trouble with the black one is that im in Aberdeen and it stays in Surrey which isnt realy a big issue just trying to find the time to go and look.Having only done 86k it offers an oppertunity to hold onto for a lot longer as i ony do minima mileage in a year but i get what you mean regarding finish im a mechanic and have seen ow mileage cards come into us in alot worse condition than a higher mileage exampe.

I was thinking i might get a inspection done on the car prior to going down this way i can make sure i know what im buying.

Cheers for now

Ross

TO be honest mate you will have to travel a fair bit to get a good one. I had a look at a few in London (about 1.5 hours each way for me), and ended up getting mine from Winsford which is exactly a 400 mile round trip for me, but for a good example, you have to able to put in the miles to go and look at it.

The first link isn't working mate,

The second one looks great. If it's had the second Cam belt change then that looks like a great buy.

The third one look great!!!!! Get some more info on it dude!!!

thats what my thoughts were i will keep ooking and posting as things show up apart from 5th gear syncro is there anything to look out for?

[luvmyaccord]

^^^Nope. Not really. just buy on condition. Have you logged on to the ATR owners club yet? There's an ATR buyers guide on there.

2800 is a great price mate. I'd personally take a road trip there to have a look round it.
