Really struggling to think of a hot hatch for 4k-5k which would suit my needs better than another EP3...
Looked at the usual stuff and spending a couple of grand more but then more problems come with them too.
How much would you guys think should be max whack these days for say:
1) pre facelift ep3, 2003 on 60k, 1 to 2 owners.
2) facelift, similar milage and owners
3) premier edition last of the line otherwise as above.
Bearing in mind I'd be wanting a near mint car... I am just struggling to justify spending more. I sold my EP3 on 82k, 54 reg, some mods in April 2013 for £4600 but they seem to be holding well still, I sold my Fiesta ST 58 reg 53k for exactly the same cash last weekend, Civic's don't seem to have budged! But there's loads of rough cars out there

Makes me wonder if I should just get finance and get a new shape Fiesta ST lol. The 2nd hand car market is a minefield now with dodgy cars at over inflated prices!
