Buying an EP3 this week but not sure how much its worth.

Its advertised as a Jap import, 78k, premier edition seats etc in Nighthawk black. Pretty much completely standard except the ITG induction kit.

Looking around I can only see the JDM model which comes in championship white, so not sure whats going on. Has this come from Japan?

I have HPI checked the vehicle and its definitely imported back in 2009 but doesnt confirm details of where its come from...

Any help/valuation much appreciated.

Thanks

Condition dependent probably looking at between 5 - 7k for a private sale, dealer 7 - 9k

Long time ago I had and Ep3 for 220k kilometers in[…]
