To me the price looks much on lower side. Confirm that it indeed is in good condition and has not met any accidents or any engine problems or whatever else anyone else can think of. It is VTec and not just 1.5exi, right?

5.75 ? its a steal !! check its history ! check papers ! check under chaises for any divider drive !! dont worry for any door bangs and small paint touchups.

DROOL! If only I needed a C segment car right now, I would have picked this up with my eyes shut....thats how happy I am with my current Vtec.

But as RX135 said, the 5.75 tag seems to be pretty low. Are you sure its a 2003? Is it a true Vtec? Check for legitimacy of paperwork (registration etc.). And yes, that its not a major accident repair piece.

If all is fine, get it. And enjoy high revving a Vtec!

are u sure 18 k kms? check out the seat fabric, gear lever knob, pedal covers and tyres, looking closely at the pics gave me a confusion, otherwise good price and sure u can squeeze couple of grands more in bargaining

5.75 is damn cheap for a 2003 Vtec. If i was to sell my 2003 Vtec, id' start with atleast 6.5.

Do get the car checked at a reliable service station for accident history. If everything works out well, there's no reason why you shouldn't go in for it.

What do you think about the seat and steering cover? I feel you should get them replaced. The steering cover has a lot of loose ends, it needs better stitching.

well he asked for 5.90 which is perfect I guess, and now that he's taken it down to 5.75 its a good deal. The car seems to be in good condition and properly maintained judging it by the pics. I don't think the seller is gonna get it down more for you, so just take it!

So finally, Rush has some competition comin his way!! Hehe

Time to get the Gtech Pro out, what say?

May be the photo angle makes rear wheel look wonky but suggest you measure the distance between the rear wheel circumference and wheel arch. Do the same on the other side and compare

the car is clean this is one pic i forgot to post. the fact is that with the loan the car is comin to me after 3 yrs at the cost of Rs. 730000. which i am not sure of now. i can get this car for 5.50000. intrest is going quiet high than i expected. not sure at this point.

I think the price at which u are getting is not a runaway steal .
Its a precisely appropriate price . the current market price hovers between 5.5 to 5.8 for the VTec (2003 ----a two year old model now)

lamborghini · 6th January 2005, 01:34

7.3 for a second hand VTEC id kind of steep...
see what other options are available otherwise the car seems nice and clean ..
however better covers would help too ..
try to find some problem and convince him to lowe the price
