+1. It's the usual case of the work and money spent by an enthusiast rarely translates into values. It can on some rarer stuff or collectable models, but in the end it's a nicely done up SiR, not a Type R. Then again the EK9 R's are probably daft money now? I haven't looked but considering how the DC2's have gone I'd be very surprised if the EK's weren't as daft or even dafter as they were the rarer car. Still 10.5 k is pretty rich. If he got half that I'd be surprised tbh. It's a very narrow market out there, especially in Ireland.

TBH the number of owners wouldn't throw me too much. Down the years I've noticed JDM imports in general and above other kinds of cars tend to have a high turnover of owners anyway. They seem to be often bought to scratch an itch and then moved on, or the insurance costs only make sense for a year or two. it's only true fans utter eejits like me that hang onto one so it's only got two owners from new. Plus add in the two decades it's been around.

This is all kinds of cool. But at €7k not even I can love it

Its an automatic E11 Corolla!

PsychoPete · 14-03-2021 07:32PM

If it was 20v I could justify 7k

Or maybe a 4x4 or something. Anything to make it more interesting.

CianRyan · 14-03-2021 07:50PM

B16 Civics have gone mental lately, to the point they I'll never buy one.
It's not that I wouldn't love one or couldn't afford it but they're not worth that asking price, an EK9 in good condition all day but modified EK4s that have lived on the limited, nah. No way.

It's a shame but I'm sure it'll collapse eventually, people will come to their senses.

Absolutely mint, these have got to that point the price will only go one way.

It does look crazy money but they will command a high price especially ones like it as it looks to be minded like a baby.

I was offered one in the recession. 1500 euros. Same lad was trying to sell a Galant VR4 for similar money. He'd lost his business and couldn't get the dole.

Unfortunately I was on the bones of my arse as well. Oh well.

Even then you couldn't, in all honesty.

It's cool and it looks immaculate but it's a €1500-2k car.

Looks like a nice example tbf but still, 10.5k.

Hate that's it's just flatley advertised as an EK4, it's a Civic! same as BMWs being advertised as E36s or VWs as Mk5s.
Just call them Civics, 3-Series and Golfs like they're actually called and stop pretending they're even more special or fancy by using the model generation identifier instead of the model name! /Rant

PsychoPete · 14-03-2021 09:33PM

Using ek4,ek9,320d, etc makes it alot easier to differentiate between models

Honestly if I was looking for a Civic I'd be searching EK4, EG6 etc. If I'm looking for a hot hatch then why would I want to see the absolute sea of 1.4 slow boats?

Well I'm not so up.on Civics so maybe the EK stuff points to a specific model.

My point being a 320 or 330d is the specific model. I've seen loads of adds that just say E36 which is just the specific generation, with no additional info like 320 or 330 or whatever.

It's just a pet peeves, I'd just like the add to have the proper full vehicle model info and not just the generation...maybe hate was the wrong term!

Two different prices €27,900 or €24,900, take your pick. Would insurance be a huge problem on one of those, a stunning car in fairness.

Nice car to be tipping around in on classic insurance. I just thought they might baulk being such a fast car, even by today's standards they're still a fast car.

Nor photography by the looks of it, I nearly had an aneurysm trying to read that.
Why is it people seem to equate its old and this variant goes for €Xk, so it must be worth the same.
