Bought a Honda Civic type R GT 2008 from John 2 weeks ago, he let me test drive the car alone which I did and everything seemed ok mechanically. However when I got home I tried to fold the electric mirrors and one did not work, the driver door speaker was not working which I found on the way home to Inverness and the plastic of the handle fell off with the silicone still wet. I emailed him he called straight back and agreed to send the mirror part required to fix the motor and replacement used speaker which now works! With being so far it was either go to him or he send the parts which I was happy with. Shame about the plastic cover on the door handle which he admitted came off during machine polishing. I glued that back on myself and now all little issues sorted. There is a current noise with the clutch release bearing only when cold which Honda have said it fine to leave just now but may fail in near future, also rust on inside of passenger door which hopefully covered under 12 year Honda warranty. I would have given 5 stars as these issues are easily sorted before purchasing but reduced to 3. Would I buy again?? Possibly but partly my own fault for not checking everything thourogly. He did however put brand new MOT and service on the car for me so will leave 4 deserved stars. Be sure to check everything when buying he did not pressure me into anything I was just keen. He was honest but if he took more notice in the smaller things as well could easily be 5 stars. As it stands though very very happy with the car drives superb and I will have it the way it should be, it does require some loving, the body work was somewhat neglected by the previous owner and the tyres on this car are rubbish for a Type R.
