Default Honda Civic Type R

Got the chance of one at the moment, its a 51 plate, done 6k not been used in about 18 months due to the owner being seriously ill, they want a silly silly price for the car, so it would be rude not to, either for profit or to use as 2nd or 3rd car.

Whats good and bad about them if anyone knows anything about them ?

Nothing is wrong with it , the owner can hardly walk never mind drive, hes seriosuly ill and the car hasnt moved in about 18 months, hence why i went to see him about it , as i pass it every day. Nowt wrong with it at all
