Hi,
I am a complete beginner when it comes to integras and forums alike so I apologise for my possible stupidity.
I am looking to buy a DC5 and I am struggling to understand the seeming price difference between what is currently available on piston heads and auto trader etc.
Should I be more concerned about condition of the car or mileage, for example if the car looks like it has been sat up for a while, dirty looking engine bay, mild rust under the arches, but only has 55K could this be worth taking on, albeit a bit of a project, or should I spend the extra and buy something that has a higher mileage that has been looked after.
I can't really spend more than 7.5K, does this mean I am bound to buy something that will have some sort of issue, weather it is condition or mileage?
Also is there any tips people could give me incase I'm simply not thinking about it in the right way,
I fell in love with these cars years ago but don't want to be blinded by my want for the car by purchasing foolishly!
Any help would be very appreciated!
Many thanks!
