been planning on giving my dc5 the chop for a while due to financial reasons, was thinking about either another ek9, a dc2, or heaven forbid, a ep3.
now i saw this come up on ph today, a 98 spec which is rare and even better its not white, what do you think?

lovely cars. Will feel more raw then your DC5. But then again an EP3 will feel softer and a bit slower.
depends what you want. that one does seem a bit pricey though. Do like the later ones as they have the bigger wheels and xenons

i like that dc2 look ace in silver, however i think id still tend toward an ek9 just for rarity, even better a sliver or black ek9 from a friend who went from dc5-dc2 for the same reasons, he actually prefers the dc2

i've had an ek9 and i think the dc2 will be similar. had a jdm ep3 also and it was poo.
pricey? its the same as the other 98 specs on pistonheads. and the 98 spec (this one) is the later one with bigger wheels/xenons.
i'd like a black ek9 or even a black dc2, but swaying more to a dc2 as i've had an ek9 and they aint that rare anymore.

I would rather a DC2 then an EK9 but thats just my 2p
All I know is my friends DC2 eats alot more fuel then my EP3. But if running costs arnt an issue it doesnt matter
What about a black or red UK DC2 thats alot of car for the money atm

i'd just prefer a jdm one, both for looks and for rust/being cared for.
if the right ek9 was offered then i would, trying to shy away from an ep3 really as they're dull as dishwater.

How much would you advertise your 5 for Martin? Not a bad deal they're offering you really.

my teg is worth £12,500 all day long. they were basically offering £10,500. but its because you can import a teg like mine for alot less. say a car costs £10k to import register etc, sell it for £12k, it has a 12k uk market value, sorta.
