my BB6 SiR 5th Gen

So i'm thinking of selling my SiR as i fancy a change, still Lude related, but before i commit i want to know that i will be able to sell my pride and joy to someone who can carry on looking after her.

1997 P reg JDM BB6 SiR, 2WS, JDM climate control, no sunroof, no cruise control, rear fog light integrated into rear light. This is a very very clean lude, its was imported in 2008 so hasnt been in the UK long, and i am the 3rd owner. The 1st owner was a PUK member, and the second owner didnt own it for very long before i took it off his hands and brought it up to the standard it is at today. The bodywork is amazing, with only a very tiny bubble around the bootlock, and very very early signs of rust on 1 rear arch. I have covered these with Honda touch up paint which as you will probably know, has an anti rust formula in it, so it should delay the rust getting worse untill it can be sorted properly.

here is the link to my profile thread, this shows the Lude from the day i bought it, to how it stands now. it also shows all the changes i have made, and parts that have recently been replaced.

Price, i'd like to think its got to be worth about £2500, and tbh, i dont think i would take much less than that, so im looking for offers between £2K - £2.5K. Like i said, i do fancy a change, but im not desperate to get rid as i absolutely love this car :!:

its a shame honda didn't use this then we wouldn't all be in the same boat with our arches, at least they solved the sunroof problem for the 5th gens :lol:
keep it mills or your gonna spend another bucketfull of money on top of what you get for this to get the same as what you got now :? you know what i mean :lol:

Thanks for the comments guys 8-)

its a massive decision, and yes, 1 i will regret and will make me very sad :( but ive owned preludes for a long time now. back in august 2002 i got my 1st lude, a 2 litre 4th gen, then i upgraded ;) to a 2 litre 5th gen, that made way for a UKDM 2.2 vti auto, and then came this JDM SiR. as ive owned it for nearly 3 years now, i feel its time to take the next step :twisted:
