Alright, so recently, i've seen an EP3 for sale locally.



2003 Honda Civic Si
Original Owner
All Records
No Accidents
56,000 Miles
New Tires
Power Windows and Locks
Power Moon Roof
ABS - Dual Airbags
AM/FM CD Player
Excellent Condition
$12,950 (Phone Number)

I've seen EP3s go for around 15,000+ with similar specs on Autotrader. So I'm figuring that this is a pretty good deal.

Although, I don't have 13 grand to drop, is it possible to get loans for private sellers? I bought my Integra straight cash, so I'm not sure how loans really work. The only way I could get this is if I could pay monthly.

I've wanted an EP3 since I was like 15 or 16. This is pretty much my dream car (I know, I have light dreams )

Also, you EP3 owners, how does this price sound, anything I should look for if I hit up the guy about that car?

Heres some shitty pics:

 

yeah im sure you can get a auto or private loan from your bank or eloan

 

sorry to say it, but the k20a3 sucks

 

Alot of other hondas are better and cheaper to get. 99-00 si, GSR, RSX. EP3 isnt a great car. Sorry EP3 owners, but its the truth.

Well i'm not a 2 Fast 2 Furious racer so I think i'll be alright.

Regardless, I think its better than the 1992 B18a1 i'm rolling with now.

 

Prices vary on these cars. For instance I'm selling my 02 Si for $10K stock (45K miles). There is a demand for these now that they aren't available anymore. I need to let mine go cause I don't need 3 cars. Good luck to you on your findings.

not the type S

 

I've had an EP3 for about a year and a half now and its been a great car for me and my fiancee. Sure, its no type s or type r, but its a fantastic car nonetheless. The engine is reliable and gets great fuel economy (I see 25/31 city/highway, rarely full throttle, usually 1/4-1/2 throttle). We have benefitted numerous times from the cargo space. And its fun to drive every day.

 

I think the thing might have sold already!

I'm not seeing it where its usually parked anymore

EDIT: Castor Troy. Get Davey Williams out of your Avatar, hes on Dynasty now

 

I was never a big fan of the EP3. If you really want to get one, I'd pick up 97 TYPE-R 312's EP3 he's selling for $10k. Can't beat that.

But if I were you, I'd try to get an RSX, DC2, or EM1. I'd even roll in a Fit before an EP3. Not to put down the EP3, but like another poster said, I think there are better options.

Yessir, not many people can afford playing Xball AND a car...

 

I just bought my '02 for $11,000. Adjustable Tokicos, S2k push button start, Konig's, strut bars, intake, DC header to Hayame exhaust, and 45k miles. Oh and VAFC2.

 

For the cost of an RSX-S with similar miles u could pick up the EP3 and have money left over to put in an K20A2.

To the original poster since u like the looks of the EP3 which is what turns most people off them i would say definatly look into one.

Also check out the car classifieds on http://www.ephatch.com and u might be able to find a good deal on one as well.

 

I like EPs and in general, European hatches/wagons. Look the best in white or black, damned Canadians got red. I looked at a few new ones and then bought the Mazda because I wanted a 4-door hatch with great handling and a drivetrain that did well in city and on road trips...spent more though (but got a lot more goodies). We'll see how this car is, any problems and I'll be back to Honda for a DD.

Good luck man, I think they are solid little cars and great for a DD.

you drive DC5...so I wouldn't be shitting on EP, since your car is no different...same shitty front susp and steering rack design.
Plus base rsx comes with shittier version of k20a3 ( plastic intake mani and shiet), longer gear ratios and some even with automatic transmission.
Plus we all know EP3 looks better

 

i got my ep3 for 10k from a dealer it had 35k miles on it and was bone stock. Its no beast but hey its a good daily driver 8) i just threw on a aem intake, megan racing headers and a blox cat back exhaust to make it sound nice i couldn't be happier

 

i got a 05 ep3 for $10k check signature

 

Not a bad price, but there's others out there for less mileage or less in $$.

Check http://www.ephatch.com

Your car is priced well, but he's in N.C. and you're in CA and your car is a salvage title , but again not a bad deal.

thanx man

yeah plus has 2k in mods, around california they go for $14500-17k from what i searched around the one with for 14,500 has 68k miles,

so im sellin mines $5k less since its salvaged title

 

I'd take one with a salvaged title. Depending on how good the work done to it was.

I thought this thing was sold, but I found it in a different parking lot. I believe its a dealer selling it. I really should call and see if I can get this thing on monthly payments.

And too all the people telling me to get an RSX. I would, if I found one for sale.

I rather have an EP3 actually. Not many of them around me, plus i've always loved the way they look. Practical and they've got decent performance.
