Re: Going 2 Buy A DC5 (-slow eK-)

i would but i cant but them new. i can only get one from the land of jap and they are all 2001 - 2003. the most of them have only done about 10,000 miles what is not bad for the age of the car. and cost about £15000.

Mid-late 04's have been corrected in terms of tranny issues.
