Agreed, he would get a top CTR with that budget.

IMO get one with AC as a lot of them come without it and makes a difference come sale time.

should get a nice EP3 anniversary with the good seats for that kind of money

EK-9 Type R if he can find one - it should be a pristine one at that price.

Yes that should get you a pristine EK-9 but a TEG will hold its value better as its a better car.

However the EK9 is definitely a moder modern car (in terms of everyday driving).

Don't forget that the Teg will be Jap import only which can/will bump the insurance up a bit more. If it was me I think I'd go with the Teg as well, as it's a bit more interesting than a CTR.

On a side note, fair play to your son for changing is mind and not wanting to get into debt

J8mie beat me to it on the import insurance theme.

my neighbour bought a lovely one quite recently from a member of the owners club.

Same as here, people know people and therefore can verify the cars for sale.

get a late DC2 ITR, still probably the best car i have ever owned. Had from 21-23 and was a hoot.

Used to carry bikes etc in that, MASSIVE boot and much better drive than the CTR for that money.

£6k will secure a mint car and can spend the rest on track days enjoying it!

Thats what i did and would live those years again any day.

As others have said he should be able to get a decent enough EP3 fpr that money. Look for AC and front fogs if possible or maybe a Premiere edition which has Recaro front seats and tinted rear windows.

Type R Owners forum is a good place to get some more info about what is available for the money. In fact there is a great example of a Premiere here up for just over 8k (you may have to register to see it, sorry) Type R premiere

EK9 the way to go the depreciation on that thing is next to none

I know a specialist if you are interested he only gets minters in
