Better looking & rarer than the new one.
the jdm ep3 is ALOT rarer than the ek9.
How many red/black/silver uK ones will you see every day though 
I think the ek9 is more special, going by the fact they never sold them over here!!

The car the Uk Type-R should have been! I do like yours though and yours has the surprise element for the unsuspecting people that think you've put a Type-R badge on your V-Tec Civic!

Nice car the EP3's and even rarer in Champ White..... however the EK9's are just as nice IMO and it'd be a tough choice for me

Course it is
Getting a newer car with much less miles on the clock, so in years to come he can do the same and mabi sell / px it again.
But if he was to keep the civic hes got now in say 3 odd years im sure the value will decrease.

I'd imagine that in 3 years time, the EK9 will be worth the same or more than the EP3. You have to bear in mind, that EP3s are about 7k for a 6 year old model, whilst the EK9 is worth £7k or so, for a 10 year old one. The EK9 is more exclusive and maintains a higher price.
