I'd personally rather have higher mileage that's had all the work done as I didn't know Type R's needed all this at that mileage? The VTEC must be good for 150k easy?

Neither tbh, the pre-face looks dated as fuk.
Surely be able to find a face-lift for not much more than the price of that silver 1.

I'd go for the red one out of those two if they were the last two left on the planet, but if I was to buy one myself then I'd get a facelift model.

1st one if he will take a couple of hundrad off :-)
Silver is better, lower miles, newer and has had the geometry setup with good springs. same setup i have and it drives much better for it. they leave the factory with wonky geo in 70% of cases.
Timing chain at 100k etc is aload of ball. if its been looked after it will all be fine. big service at 75k including valve clearances. £350 tops though.
So silver with money off for lacquer peel on bumper and no ac ;-)

The steering rack is a cheap fix if you D.I.Y it. Its a bit of a mare of a job though.
