You should be mentally prepared to spend thousands if you really
wanna get an EG6 up to a good condition, unless you're really,
really lucky to find one in good condition. Most have been in major
accidents and not repaired properly.
I've been lookin for good one a while ago, but cannot find. Be
careful of sellers' claims, coz they sometimes claim "no accident"
even when I can see that the engine bay's been hit before. And the
engines' are bad even at idle...
Else, if you really wanna get but on tight $ for repairs, just
prioritise with the big faults repaired and live with aittle faults
here and there...
It's a great and beautiful car, man, I love it, but some of them
can really be a big mistake to buy.
BTW, obvious ways you can tell an EG5 and EG6 apart:
1) EG5 stock rear seats have head rests, EG6 stock rear seats
doesn't
2) EG5 SOHC engines are smaller and have spark cables running along
the font side only of the valve cover, while EG6 spark cables run
along the middle of the valve cover and have "DOHC" printed on
it.
3)EG6 rear seats have a more angular wheel arch protruding inwards,
while the EG5's wheel arch intrusions are smoother.
Good Luck, Hope this helps, and that you find a good EG6...
