I'm looking at a Honda Accord Euro R (CL7 I believe) imported from Japan.
Not my first car from Japan, but this one is to be used as a daily drive.
I'm wondering what the residual value is in the car?
Thanks

I briefly considered a CL7 but could not justify the cost and actually prefer the CH1. I find the interior of the CL7 boring despite being more modern than the CH1.
Oh and welcome to the forum.

I like Honda for the reliability and general hassle free motoring. I'm not looking to modify it, just run it around as a daily as my weekend car is a S15.
Have they always been at the 8k mark? Never really looked into them

They've floated between 6 and 8k
I'm sure that's what they cost to import, if not more
I think theres currently 5 cl7s for sale over here all around 7k

I commissioned my own import and the whole process took around 4 months. Unless you are the patient type then I wouldn't recommend this. The main reason I chose this route was because I was adamant that I didn't want a white one. There was also an element of wanting to be the first owner on the log book. A stock one will most likely already be registered to the importer.
Personally, I am very happy with my purchase for the overall cost of the whole process, I don't think I'll make any money on it, but I don't expect I'll lose out either.
As for its suitability as a daily, it is absolutely fine. It can be as mild as you want, but you'll know about it if you stamp on the loud pedal.
see my thread here... http://www.accordr.o...__1#entry772047
I very much doubt you'll have any regrets.

Im looking at one for around 10K, 64000miles, but very clean car, and under sealed from Torque GT, where I imported my previous car.
Does that sound reasonable?

I know my S15 only runs on 99ron, but I wasnt sure about the Accord being NA

That said, I've also found that the occasional bit of 95 doesn't seem to hurt.

I always ran my ATR on V-Power (or whatever the hell its called) and my EGR system was always cleaner than a c**t in a convent 😁

I think even if I went with the icetronix ecu mod that claims to be mapped for 95 ron, I'd still use 99.

I ended up putting a deposit down on a fresh CL7 inbound from Japan. Waiting for registration in the UK before pick up
