Why are there soo many threads I need to write long replies for today
Car look quite good but it's overpriced as the bottom has fallen out of the market. There are good cars out there but I would only pay £5k for that mileage if it has had the bushes completely replaced and there was documented photographic evidence on the state of the rear arches.
On the bush front, 13yr old rubber bushes with 70k miles WILL be worn and I'm guessing that the RTA bushes would definately need replacing as they will be cracked and on their way out. A full rebush with Honda bushes is very expensive even if done DIY. I used superflex bushes with HONDA OEM RTA bushes (trust me keep these OEM) and they cost about £400 just for the bushes. Labour from a garage will be £500-£1000 depending on how many bolt shear off (£1k would be very bad but have heard of it happening).

My rebuild thread^
So as you can see costs will add up if you want the get into the condition where you can really experience how it was meant to feel. No matter what people say, cars on standard bushes and suspension from new will be sloppy.
UK rear arches rust, mine took £500 to get re-done but even that won't make them last forever. If someone says their UKDM is comepletely rust free then they are lieing. There is a slit at the front of the rear arch which lets what get in behind the rear quarter, unless these were blocked up from new (0 in 100 chance) then the car will have rust in there. Before you see a car you ideally need the owner to get the plastic panels out the rear so you can look down into the arches. Even though the one posted up has been undersealed, that might have just covered up the rot!!!!!
Also check for worn synchros as they go and a full rebuild of the box is around 1k. Ideally pickup a Teg that has had a gearbox rebuild.
So either buy one already refurbed (good luck finding one), buy the best you can as a project to do up, or buy cheap and just drive it around until dead.
Personally and as a fan of NA engines and Honda's are think DC2's are very dated, they look dated, hey have a dated engine that was great at the time and for years after but today they would only be a great car if they were a reasonable price, the UKDM's rot like pears and ones in good condition are very very expensive, JDMs are very very expensive.
One thing that irritates me is people seem to treat them like some kind of super car, apart from being good fun they really can be quite over rated
Not over rated at all. They are still exceptional cars when in the right nick and are a true enthusiasts car. Teey can also be very reliable!
They don't look dated and still turn plenty of heads, that is just plain wrong.
) Lucikly Admiral Multi Car Policy saved me £180 so insurance is roughly £120 a year more than last year. So even though insurance isn't a massive issue, neither is UK/JDM so I'm happy to go for the cheaper insurance option. It'll be used for fun anyway, not to look pretty 
NO WAI!
