Thing is even though people know it's bullet proof, I wouldn't buy one due to resale and the fact all of the other bits have 105k worth of wear and tear.

Nothing for a HONDA.
Honda have made 5million vtec systems over the years and not ONE has ever gone wrong.

im guessing the recaros would b shagged after that mileage they red material suded wears easily and gets dirty.
and the red carpet.
the engines not a prob espeically with fsh, but theres quite a few for slae at the mo so unless its cheap then id wait.

only thing that puts me off about high mileage is the general wear and tear of components on the car like suspension etc. and as ant says the interior. Also would imagine bodywork to have alot of stone chips

I wouldn't mate. As people have said the engine should be fine but other wear and tear and also the trouble of selling it on again.
Go for something sensible like a Daewoo Matiz 900cc thing, i think my nan has got one for sale

Id prefer to buy a teggy with 105k on than a BMW anyday. But to be honest I wouldnt buy any car with that mileage on.
As said the recaros would probably be shagged for that mileage.
Better to ask to honda revs or www.itr-dc2.com anyways

honda are a good car, not too much goes wrong but obviously its a type r so will of had some pasting. make sure it has good service history, do the usuall checks for smoke and so. the main thing is honda's dont leak oil.

v-tec is the variation in cam lobes when hitting a certain oil pressure. 2 cracked cam lobes out of 3 is a v-tec failure-end of.

if it was cheap i would buy it, i was reading on a honda forum about just how many accord's and preluge's have done over 150-200k and still going strong.
these engines seem to be bullet proof, only thing that seems to kill them off is oil starvation
