Any thoughts?

Seems a little to good to be true for that price...
Also, a JDM car with a UK bumper?
I thought headlight washers were a UK only thing?

Well the year is wrong for a start, that is a very early AP1 I think.

So with the year more like being 1999, that is not a bad price.

Its difficult to make a call without more info.

The car appears to have a HKS Racing Suction induction kit fitted. The seats are in good condition which is consistent with the mileage.

Worth a viewing IMO

IS this a UK car, or an import?
It seems to have headlight washers...

Also, I thought the white was an import only colour on the AP1?
Is there any bad points of going for an AP1 over an AP2?

Thanks guys!

AP2 is only available in the USA with a 2.2 engine.

For the differences between model years, have a read of the FAQ here: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...0&#entry5798524

That looks ok for the age and starting price.

The white wasn't introduced in the UK till later, which would sugget it's a JDM. But, like you said, it has headlamp washers, and also the controls for them on the centre console.

I can't quite see the indicator/wiper stalk properly in the photo. If the wiper is on the left then it's a JDM.

Not sure what the "upgrade steering wheel" is meant to mean.

almost certainly one JAPANESE owner

almost certainly a back street/ off the drive dealer

who clearly isn't an expert on the cars

could be priced about right but it's not particularly cheap

the washers aren't right, so expect there to be other 'inconsistencies'

Were the headlamp washers an optional extra on the Jap Imports maybe?

Sat in my car now, looking at my stalks. Definitely looks to be a JDM, but with UK bumper/headlamp washers/controls for headlamp washers.
