The 8th gen accord is worth looking at if you can get past it not being a Type R. You can get them with the K24 (2.4L vtec) they're a nice ride, well built and with 200hp quick enough to keep up. The only way to tell them over the 2L is the 2 large exhausts pipes, a VERY stealthy car
I had and EX spec K24 one 4ish years ago, (since then I have changed my daily driver twice) have regretted selling it ever since.
Check the sunroof if fitted for rust.

Its only a ferry trip away, we in NI are still part of the uk so no importing process is required. Let me know where it is - if its close to home or work I'll even look it over for you

That’s very kind of you to offer! Just incase it’s in your street the car I like most is in Portadown County Armagh if that means anything?

Up your budget a bit, and get an Integra, or up it quite a bit more and get a Civic FD2 - Japanese only cars! Ultra rare, and the civic we never got.

As for the s2000s, I have one as well as my Z and it is quite unique in the sense of, that engine will NEVER be made again. They're a modern relic of an idea that cars can be well designed and engineered, and not just part of a marketing triangle to promote other halo models. It was just a damn good car straight off the production line.

Mileage doesn't hurt these cars particularly but like any other purchase, just make sure it's had correct servicing throughout it's life. There's an example on AT currently, in High Wycombe, which is a pre-facelift on 175000 miles and only 4,300 quid - that car, if it checks out, would easily do another 100,000.

Noticed the market is steadily creeping up though so act soon if you'd like to secure one.

Always thought it was a shame more of these weren't produced in lurid colours, so many for sale are your standard baby blue, grey, and black.

If you want a good 2004 AP1/facelift AP2 example, PM me ;) or otherwise could show you around mine if near Berkshire. Let me know.
