Reading all this section of the forum and a thread discussing about the
better japanese sportscar to buy, my interest was drawn again to DC5R.
From what i know, pre-face lift difficult to find and face lift is
impossible to find. Am i correct or am i wrong?

completely do not understand... if no pre-face lift or face lift, then
what is the DC5 I see all over the place?

rare? overpriced when it was sold in malaysia. granted the DC5 is a superb FF car but the way
ourr malaysian tax is & the way parerel importers milk the buyers, it is no mystery why its rare
OTR.

Hmmm... there are a few DC5 (type S and R) near my house. One reason
why I never thought it was rare. Never really paid attention til this
post.

takashi the problem is that the owners love their teg so much that hardly
anybody wants to sell!
abuga must go near your area to feast my eyes then. But i am sure those
are pre-face lift ones. Face lifted ones tak ada langsung la.

i heard it might be sold Just as they did with the limited edition mugen
civics which they managed to clear the whole batch even at 143K... so <220k
for a complete type-R i think its do-able la...
