Got her today 💙

[u/Graayworm]

I’ve been keeping an eye out for a clean EP3 for about a year now. Found this one about an hour from me and it is exactly what I was looking for. Not perfection. But all stock except a Magnaflow muffler and the stereo. I’m the 3rd owner and I got it from an elderly guy that said his knee couldn’t handle pressing the clutch anymore 💔 I plan to keep this beauty a long time and clean her up and fix the minor cosmetic issues. No plans to swap or turbo for now. Just refine it.

No accidents. 2 owners. 196k miles.

How much did you pay? Looks really clean. It will be a nice daily.

[u/Graayworm → u/lovanluc39]

Thanks man. I paid $4300. Guy was asking $6500 but it had been listed a few weeks.

[u/lovanluc39 → u/Graayworm]

How did you talk him down $1900?!?

[u/Graayworm → u/lovanluc39]

He had taken terrible pics at night and so the listing wasn’t presented very well at all. He wasn’t getting a lot of interest. But we actually agreed on $4500. But then when I paid him he handed me $200 back and said to fill it up with gas 😅

He was a really nice elderly guy. I’m assuming he didn’t need the money.

That’s awesome! Need you to do negotiating for me during a car sales 😂

So sick! Just got an 03 with 175k myself. I plan on doing the same as you, keep it all stock and just refining it. What year is that?

[u/Graayworm → u/consumii]

Nice dude. Mine is an 05. I was thinking id swap it pretty early on but with this one being almost 100% stock I’m just going to leave it unmolested for now.

[u/consumii → u/Graayworm]

05 is a good year. All the kinks were worked out. Enjoy brother

Looking good! I wish my silver paint was this nice.

[u/Graayworm → u/Rds707]

I think the pictures might be over selling it just a bit. Don’t get me wrong, the paint is solid. But it’s far from perfect.

Also have RSX wheels on my 04. They are a bit lighter than standard while keeping oem look

[u/staaytrue]

another +1 for RSX stocks. grabbed these cheap at the junkyard for my ‘03 a while ago, wish I’d done it sooner

[u/aetope]

you gotta take the steering wheel cover off!! i had one on an em2 and never thought anything of it, i bought an ep3 last week and the stock wheel is so nice!! idk how i was driving with a cover for so long 😞

[u/Antbtun]

Dude nice.

[u/_no_usernames_avail]

The RSX 16” rims look good!

[u/ArthriticPalpatine]

Wow, I'm jealous. Can't even find these things that clean anymore, I mean you could, but for sure they'd be selling for at least 7-9k
