Need input on an EP3
ok so ive always wanted to buy one. i like the look of hatchbacks and this one has always caught my eye. my questio is this, i see some for like 9500 with 70000+ miles some as high as 150000 miles which i could get a really good deal on. Do you recommend getting one, and what are common problems with the cars. thanks guys

Well most common problem is worn synchroes in the transmission, which will cause 2nd and 3rd gear grinds. I would hunt for one that is within the 30,000 to 80,000 mile range. You can find some awesome deals on ephatch.com for these cars. A lot of people selling them for cheap. Not to mention it's the best website for any information on this car.
Only reason to get one with a 150,000 on it, and that is if you are planning on swapping ASAP.

just sold mine, 2002 with 68k on it for 8500 with bolt ons and rims and tires/lowered.
id look for a bone stock one
lots of people have tranny grinds but i never had any. best tranny feel ever imo
creaking steering racks from being lowered more than 2in in the front is common.
people complained of the handling/suspension on them but with a high quality suspension it will be fine....mugen ss, buddyclub, progress, etc.
never had any problems with mine and i do miss it already,...its only been 2 days

cant complain. if you can get one with 150,000 miles for cheap buy it and swap it.</TD></TR></TABLE>
QFT. 150k+ miles = time to drop another $4-5k and get a k20a2/k24a2 swap for it.
There was a thread recently asking about the pros/cons of an EP3, I would look around for it if I were you. If I find the link again, I'll edit and post it.
