i cannot speak for all VTEC owner; but myself so far; other den wear n tear; i dont suffer from problematic issues;
my previous owner kept it really good.

if u gonna talk about normal maintenance; its fairly reasonable. lets take engine oil servicing; (5k - 10k mileage) depends on user.
per once visit;
engine oil = motul htech 5w30 fully syn (rm160)
oil filter = rm15
labour = rm10

total = so tats like rm185. ; sounds reasonable to me;

the previous rim i m using is type r rims oem by enkei; 7.8kg each. (15" 6jj;off50)

now i m using a 16" 6.5jj;off40 rim from nissan skyline r32 gts-t thumbup.gif weight around 8.9kg each sweat.gif

so far ok la; can live with it tongue.gif

normally; the lighter the rims; the better; for 15" the lightest is regamaster or spoon sw388. both of them weights 3.88kg only thumbup.gif
too exp; cannot afford sweat.gif

interior wise is almost the same;

y ppl wanna convert is that; the stock comes in 96-98 specs; 99-00 specs the bumper; fender,headlamp,hood,grill;rearlamp got abit of difference; slightly only.

i kept to 96-98specs cos its cheap. tongue.gif n it looks classic too.

the local type of bumper le; the front bumper n the rear bumper got 1 black rubber strip wan; very ugly sweat.gif

other den that; the only difference i found out in a local n jdm dashboard; u have a spare aircond vent at each side of the dashboard; where by the local is sealed; but tat can be replaced.

EK is evergreen, no doubt.

but it is year 2009, and i see a lot of owners selling EK at RM60k and above.

why the sky-high price? i mean.. in 2007/08, EJ/EK's price was hovering around there.. now already 2009, still asking for RM60k? RM40~45k sounds more reasonable.

yes, EK has its price.. but is it really that high? are the mods done justifiable for the asking price? if the owner has mod more than RM20k, is it reasonable to ask an extra RM20k of the market price? second hand is second hand.. mod parts prices are also second hand.. these people need to cover back their personal loan issit?

true, they see their car as high as that while in fact the car is slowly degrading from its prime condition.. all they do is to freshly re-paint the car and sell as high as they wished.. oh ya, like what u said, 20k upgrade and they up 20k in their car's selling price.. i rather get a normal ek and mod it myself with 20k
