Im going to look at a 2005 (55 plate) type r end of this week/early next week...... its got 36,000 on the clock, air con and leather seats. The dealer is offering it to me for £9950, and said they're likely to offer me £4500 for my 04 plate civic 1.6 sport......
Obviously the offer for my car is subject to inspection, but hopefully it will all work out....
Ill print off the details of what i need to check on it, so this thread is fantastic! Thanks again!
Ive been having a look around online, particularly on auto trader and ive found a couple of comparable cars.....

And this one

Its making me wonder if the garage im talking to are asking a little bit over the odds (i know dealers need to make a profit, but both of the above are trade sellers also)....... The advantage of the one im looking at in the garage in particular is that as a family we've bought 3 cars of them now (civc, jazz, and a crv) and i live literally a 5 min walk from there for services etc...... and there's a year warranty..... Im just wondering if anyone thinks the price they've put on it as unreasonable...... I realise its at the high end, but I dont know masses about cars and would like a bit more advice.
