Description:
So, the time has come to sell my much loved EK9...
I have owned the car since June 2009 and we've covered almost 100k miles together!
The car has been regularly serviced and this has been logged within my running build thread, which can be seen here:
http://www.ek9.org/forum/builds-projects/30421-arcs-1998-cw-facelift-ek9.html or by following the link within my signature.
I have a bulging lever arch file with service history (both UK and Japanese), MOT certificates and various receipts along with all the import documentation from 2006 - when it was imported by Duncan of FastJapCars.
The car has now covered just over 180k miles and will be sold with approximately 182k as will be used until Saturday 15/03/2014 unless purchased before hand.
The car's MOT and Tax both expire on 31/07/2014 - I liked it this way as it's difficult to forget!
It's a great car and for it's 15 year age, it is in good condition as the photos and videos show. It's got some nice rare parts on too.
The car would be ideal for someone looking for a track day project or for someone who just wants to experience the car for driving. I've used the car as a daily driver so it is beginning to show some signs of age so if someone is looking for a showroom minter then this won't be for them.
I'm an honest guy and don't want to waste anyone's time so have been as open and honest as possible with the photos and videos...
The car was paid the ultimate compliment at the recent 180k service as the owner of the garage was interested in buying it so it can't be too bad!

The items that may concern some are as follows:
- The windscreen has a few chips but as they are lightweight, never wanted to change it and the chips have never grown or spread during my 5 years of ownership.
- The paint is thinning in a few places. This was highlighted when it was polished in 2011 but again nothing to be concerned about really.
- The passenger side mirror does not fold in.
- The Air Conditioning has been disconnected but not removed. This is as the pulley became loose a few years back.
- The paint on the wheels is flaking but the wheels are not damaged.
- The rear wheel arches have begun to rust.
The car is now ready to be sold so viewings and test drives can be arranged as of now.
The car will be parked, with a full tank of fuel, as of Saturday 15/03/2014 if it hasn't been sold by then so I'll confirm the exact mileage as and when this comes around.
If there are any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks for looking
