1. Hw do i differentiate the Euro fm the JDM?? Looking at the engine code JDM should be using K24A rite?? Speedo only till 180km/h??? anything else that cn help differentiate easily??

JDM VIN will be CU2xxxxx
Export CU2 VIN be JHMCU2xxxxx

JDM engine is a K24A (If I recall correctly), Export is K24Z3.

2. Hw much was an Apr 09 JDM accord(EU) brand new?? Hw much is the COE/OMV??

3. Hw much is a reasonable price to pay for it nw(exactly 1 yr old)??

SGCarMart sells 1yo CU2 for betw 100-108k. I guess the prices are pretty high at the moment.
Keen on mine? Might want to sell it at around 95k (May09) pretty stock though.

4. Hw is the fuel consumption if my normal driving patterns are 80% city, 20% highway??

Probably looking at around 10-12L per 100 KM. I do around 50-50 and get 9-10L per 100KM.

5. Does the JDM model have the same engine pinging problem the Aust/NZ model has???

Havent heard any complaints from JDM ones yet. The export models such as the Acura TSX & NZ Accord have the problem. I understand MBM is implementing the fix for affected owners who have warranty with them.

6. What is the offset for the rims?? If i have a set of rims, size 7.5jj with offset of 48, will it fit nicely or do i have to use spacers???

TIA for all ur replies...
