Hi guys,
I wanted this car when it was on for sale on Pistonheads for £8500 too! I spoke to the guy on the phone and he seemed like a genuine person. He had to sell the car because of unfortunate circumstances ( i wont disclose out of respect but definitely genuine ). I had the money ready but someone got there before me. I missed out on it because the seller was a genuine lad and was looking for a quick sale because of his circumstances. Because he had never used the car for a while, it needed a service, wheels refurbed, and other bits and bobs.
Anyway, The guy who bought the car actually is a member of this forum and he got their before me. He owns an NSX so this was just purely business for a bit of profit (he knew it was a bargain), He serviced and and put the car back into its glorious condition and put it up for sale for a quick buck... He is also a private trader so used his traders account on autotrader, but in fact he's a MASSIVE Honda enthusiast (owns an awesome NSX, and 2.2 prelude for trackdays)!
So.... I bought it! And for a very good price
although i ended up paying approx 1400 more then originally advertised, i didn't have to refurb rims, service,etc etc and the car is stunning. Anyway im the proud the owner of it. Ive been looking for a DC5 for approx 1 year and viewed many, but didn't find the right one. But this one is an absolute beauty! absolutely unblemished! very happy owner right here!
Sorry guys, she's mine
