Decat
4 new tyres

The civic:

I do like the civics, not checked insurance yet, but would this put you off?
Not found out what the damage was yet etc.

I do like civics!
Opinions please...

Try and get before and after pic's if it's not been bashed to bad go for it nice car's the civic's are and the engine's are bomb proof.

Performance their is nothing in it, as we all know (dont want to open a can of worms here). Looks though that has Xenons or at least projector halogens, so dependant on damage sustained, could be worth a look.

I really like them, I can imagine insurance will be insane compared to the clio but a quote wont hurt.
I've asked all the normal questions just so I'll see what reply i get.

Yeah wouldnt be swapping for performance, just for something different really, seems a decent-ish car to be honest, looks very nice

civics are way more common than 1*2s (well were i am from they are) and 1*2 i think look so much nicer! and has been proven there just as fast. i would stick with what you have tbh m8, spend some money on it if u have any hanging around.

Have you driven one mate? They are soooooo boring imo!

 

[jordan172]

it will be very hard to sell on. damaged repaired + hot hatch = fail

 

[phantomx0_1]

KEEP the 182

Group 17 IIRC and the 182 is a 16.
Depending on your circumstances, should hardly go up at all !

 

[rocko_n82]

Its a low miler and a late model but the damage thing puts me off. If you really want on, sell the 182 and just buy another ep3, you could pick up an 04 with maybe 55k for around 5k i reckon. The higher miles arent a big issue with a honda

 

[bendee]

the only hot hatch i cant stand just sumin about the look of them and the drivers, a mate laughed at me when i said my mk1 had 160 brake wiped that off his face when we went for a drive.
if you want a honda do it properly and get a integra you hardly ever see them on the roads they handle better go faster look better and are cheaper.

Christ, your as bad as a woman chaging your mind, you've only just got the 182!!!! The CTR i drove was boring, just noise on Vtec change over, steering is also super numb.......

 

[BSC 182]

Yeah stick with the 182

 

[Pettsi]

Joe, keep the 182!!

 

[Tucker]

if you chop the clio into a dealer,

take the coilies off and give em to me!

 

[Pep]

Lol, just wanted some opinions on it!
I put my car up just to see if there was any interest, not really interested in swapping it yet!

 

[Tucker]

Have you driven one mate? They are soooooo boring imo!

thank you!!

finally someone thinks they are boring. would rather eat my own skin than sit in that characterless chassis.

sorry pepsi that was meant to be constructive

 

[Ian]

Don't know how they drive, but you could get one without crash damage and they look better.

I'm sure a certain area rep will be along shortly to advise in the ways of Honda/JDM.

 

[Pep]

Hmm, only £1300 to insure a VX220.....
£3.5k on a V6!

 

[r8byb]

Have you drove one ? there so uninvolved and boring compared to a clio IMO

 

[Marky_]

Damage repaired puts me off straight away.

 

[adams182]

dont get saying that to your friend rob! lol...i only like the sound of the vtec kicking in!!

 

[Jaws]

He offered it to me too ha. I said no, didn't want to pay more insurance.

 

[swirly182]

Keep the 182. Imo the CTRs look ordinary on the road, whereas the 182s are a bit more distinctive.

 

[Tucker]

drove one before i bought the clio, just didn't like the power delivery/lack of drama/rigid cornering.

seems a little more sensible and definatly more refined than a clio

great if that's what you're after.

however i'm damn sure an EK9 or a sorted EG6 would be a different story

 

[polarbert]

You'd have to see whether the damage was serious or not but they are fantastic cars. Slightly faster than the Clio but don't offer as much feedback through the steering wheel.


Get the VX!

cat C or cat D?

Try and get some pics of the crash damage, a cat D doesnt always mean a shed, but at the same time someone generally only wants to swap if they are getting the better side of the deal. It must be a nightmare to sell that car on, hence why he's looking at an easy deal.

^^^^^ exactly right, damaged repaired is just a clever way of describing the fact that this car has been a cat d or cat c insurance write off

dont touch it with a barge pole!!!!!!!!!!!
