hello every 1 i am looking for a ek9 with low miles like 40,000 to 50,000 so if u have 1 wot u r saleing or now of 1 plz let me now :D

thanks
 
Welcome mate, is there any reason your so strict on the amount of miles you want? Just Milage really isn't an issue on these b series engines if correctly serviced ect.. Along with the bodywork and underside they age really well coming from a warm climate like japan helps too.

But if you can find one and can afford it then cool :)

If you look for one around 60k miles there will be more to choose from. Most of the cars are convertered when bought into the uk so mileage can differ. Some importers can supply a mileage certificate but I don't think most do. Have a look on fastjapcars he's your best bet. Good choose on an Ek9 by the way you will enjoy it!
 
its just the waiting game ; ) one will come up but nobody nos when lol

fastjapcars is the one for ek9 tbh!

The engine isnt the only part of a car you know, when you have a car with 100k + miles on it you have 100K + miles of wear on the interior and 100k miles of wear suspension 100k + miles on the paint..... the list could go on.

Some people buy these cars and want an absolute minter as they plan on keeping them for a long while.

Now while i agree mileage is not a way of calculating a cars condition but for example if you have two cars both in the exact same condition for the exact same value - your gonna take the one with the least amount of mileage.

Theres always going to be a huge appeal on buying a car with lower mileage - obv you have to check it over just like any other car.
 
I agree that it is always nicer to find a car with lower mileages but as egshane says u will just have to bide ur time unitl one comes up with low miles and will be more pricey as well. However good luck in finding one :nice:

I totally understand that the lower milage vehicle would be the prefered one, as if i was in that position i would be looking for the one with the least amount of miles. I was just giving the guy a little bit of advise basicly saying milage isnt everything as that was his only critieria. Like mentioned above FastJapCars is your best bet for good example and is well recommended by everyone :)

Never mind eh :cool:

Hi
I would much rather have a totally stock car on 100,000 miles than a modded one on 50k miles. Of all the 8 odd ek9's i have in stock the tidiest is actually the highest mileage one!

I never once said you couldnt find a better condition high mileage car than a low mileage car.

What i said was - a minter of a low mileage car will always be more appealing and hold more value.

And if someone specifically wants a low mileage car - i'm pretty sure they will be after a great clean example and not a dog.

Not currently for sale but will let it go for the right price.
