So I've been looking at ep3's the last month or so and I think I've decided to buy one. Now, every dealer price I've seen is about $10,995 for 02-04's with around 70K miles. Kelly blue book says $10,599 excellent condition. Obviously i'm not going to pay the dealer's asking price.

So my question is:
What do you think I can get a (clean) bone stock 04 ep3 with 80K miles for? My guess was probably around $8,500. I'm going to look at that one tonight, so any input is helpful. thanks

 

I've been seeing them go for well under 8k on craigslist, & autotrader.com; better to buy from a private seller in this economy, people need the money... Seen many w/ around or under 70k... Do a carfax report/run the vin# for history & your good to go. Just my 2 cent, good luck with your search.

 

^^ couldn't have said it better myself

 

I paid $15k for my '05 EP w/ 12k miles in June '07.

 

mine was for sale 5500 too bad u missed out, it hella clean be side a dent i have. but im keeping her now!

 

i paid $9k for an 04 with 30k miles on the clock in June of 2007, sold it a year later to the month for $12k with 43k miles on the clock lol!

Don't feel too bad. I have a buddy that rushed into getting his 06 si in 07 because he "had to have it" & ended up driving it off the lot paying $30k! My friends & I bash him everyday for it lol.

I would've drove to where ever you lived to buy it ahaha, I THINK I might have seen you ad on craigslist though...

That's what's up, that's how you do it! Earlier this year I bought an sohc 88 Crx for $1k & resold it for $5k! True story.

 

In 2007 I paid $15000 for my really clean 2003 EP3 with 33K miles. At the time they were in decent demand and that was what they were going for.

 

I bought my 02 si for 7k+ with 95kmiles clean title bone stock and its really great

 

Nice... trade for my h22 ej1 :] See signature... lol.

 

damn your car looks awesome

 

Thanks man. Unfortunately too many thieves & haters in my area though. Time to move on to something newer, stock, that get's less attention.

 

I just got mine a month or so ago for $10k. It's a clean 04 with just under 60,000 miles.

 

Meh, I'm not really complaining about it. It was basically a brand new car with full vehicle history, and it only had 12k miles!! The thing was mint. Er...still is mint.

 

Thanks ya'll. So i went to check it out last night. Basically it was an 04 blue ep3 with a shott ebay muffler and a PVC intake....The dealer and the financial manager pushed HARD on $10,100. Just awesome salesman banter. I wasn't having any of that, at all.

SO, i'm checking out an 02 RSX-S for 9,900 after work today. Hopefully its in good shape

 

I am a proud new owner of an 02 RSX-S! Man I fricken love the K. I dont know what I was thinking straying over to DSM side of the world. Proud to be back

 

What did you end up paying??

 

Nice, congrats! & from the looks of it he paid $9.9k<or less

 

sweetness man congrats i want a dc5 and a ep i want them both lol

 

I Paid 9.5k for my 03 with 62k miles on it from a dealership like 3 months ago..

 

yeah you can find the good prices out there...i bought mine last June with 52k on the clock for $10k, local private seller thou

 

i bought my 03 fer 6,700 with 124,000 miles... not very clean... some dents and scratches... but i love it!

 

10,100 all said and done. Oh yea, opened her up takin it home and heard something familiar.. got home and took a look, yep, injen CAI. (sweet- bonus part..haha)

 

it is probably better to buy from a private party since they'll be less likely to rip you off (and you can probably bargain a little better). however, a carfax and vin check may not be enough to know the full extent of the condition of your car. i would recommend getting it professionally inspected by one of those car inspection companies found on google (aim mobile inspections and carchex are popular ones). it's a small price to pay for knowing the true nature of the car. but that's just my two cents for you. good luck with the car!

 

You didn't pop the hizzy before you bought it?

But congrats on the purchase
