In all honesty I struggled finding mine, it took best part of a year. Depending on what you're looking for and whether colour is a big factor or not. There were a couple of clean 9's about but silver or black the white ones I viewed weren't quite right. Don't get me wrong mine isn't concourse but I'm seriously picky and felt it's as tidy as I could expect given the age these cars are now. What is it you're looking for specifically? For the record I passed on cars imported by a couple of respected importers that were well regarded on owners club forums.

im very picky as well, im looking for a jdm dc2 in cw but havent viewed any cars yet as i havent seen anything worth viewing. I think i need to sign up to the teg forum and see if anything is on their.
These guys came highly recommended on a couple of forums and in honesty while the car wasn't quite right Mike was very helpful.

These were also recommended and a car I missed out on which Christopher looked at for me (was local to him) he said was mint had been sourced through them. Although on the flip side I emailed the guy twice and didn't get a reply out of him so who knows.

This would be a better option if you can squeeze a bit more out of the budget, obviously pending a successful viewing and finding it's decent in person.

Sometimes you have to travel when you're looking for something that's not in huge supply. It's worth it to end up with a decent car, nothing stopping you calling/mailing the seller asking a ton of questions and getting plenty of pictures of the car if it is a bit further. It's normally enough to get an idea whether the trip is worth seeing it in person.

yeah thats true thats just abit too far for me, i came across this as i am considering ek9 aswell...... is this any good? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2050070.htm
I'm local to the one Si posted mate. If you emailed him and were happy. I'd go see it for you.
I'm a damage repair expert so plenty of knowledge on that front.
The offer is always there if there is anything close to me up here.
I travelled from Edinburgh to london/reading to pick the FRP up.
Luckily it was a forum car so I knew the history of it.

what are the things that put you off bothering apart from the gash bonnet and tints? lol i may just go have a look as it local then i can get a bit better idea on condition and what the ower is like and all that jazz lol
cheers for that offer dude really do appreciate it. The problem is that i have to take my dad with me to drive the car back as insurance is too much until september when i turn 21, i may even wait till september as i can have a better budget and then i wouldnt have to take my dad with me so i wouldnt be limited on where i could travell, but if i change my mind or anything like that ill let you know dude cheers
Pics are poor and despite being on sale for the best part of a year he's not replaced them with better. No shots of the interior or under the bonnet (might hint that it's a mess in the bay and the interior is hanging).
The interior has been messed about with (buckets and wheel aren't original) mentions being the first owner in the UK and yet doesn't state the import grade which is usually a good indication of the condition.
Also it's not advertised on EK9.org despite having a sticker in the window for the website, seems odd it wouldn't be listed on there as it's free to do so. Then there's the gash bonnet, lol.

looks like it will probably be more hassle than its worth lol do the import grades work like this... grades in 2 ways (a b c d) or (1 2 3 4) from what i know if its a grade 4 it will be a good one and a grade 1 a bad one. May be well wrong? lol
