Yep, those pics not really the way to sell a car, but at least you can be fairly confident that he's not trying too hard, so probably not hiding anything.

Removing the stupid Type R stickers and putting the correct one on the back again would be a good step too!

Blinkin e'ck, I've had mine 14 years, 3rd owner with 150k on the clock, and I paid less than that for mine all those years ago. Trick of the light, I'm not sure, but some areas of the red paint seem to be dis-similar looking at the photo's. Only 'advantage' that one has over mine is the fact it's manual, not auto, all in all, nowhere near worth what he's asking for it, if it were, I'd sell mine tomorrow.

And although he's undersealed it, bet the front of the rear arches will go any day soon.

Indeed, closed box section, trap for humidity, to Hondas credit, at least they 'only' rot through after 20 odd years, not 4 or 5!!
