My uncle who was a Headmaster at a private school, very comfortable money wise, always bought big old Hondas that last one he had before he died was an estate, a massive bit of kit, I never understood the attraction but he loved them.

You could do a lot worse for a grand - looks like a grey import though with that rear fog light. Mind you, when that noisy ABS pump packs up...

Looking at other similar aged ones rr fog all in same position

When the pump packs up you just pick up the bangernomic

My son's on his second old Honda Civic, both of them lovely motors that go well, both with more miles on the clock than the enterprise, he was most upset when someone drove into his first one whilst it was parked outside his flat.

Looks tempting. You will probably get £150 from the scrapyard when it dies, so it's pretty cheap, as long as you euthanase it when things start to go wrong. I think that VED might be a bit steep, but that's the price you pay for big motor driving.

I think the Legend, was regarded as the Japanese, Mercedes, over-engineered like the Merc w-124 series

I bought a y reg saab 95 with 70000 miles on the clock for £2.5k as a stopgap. 10 years on and another 70000 miles I still have it, albeit spent another £2k last year on a new engine. I reckon it's cost me maybe £750 per year on average inlcuding tyres and purchase price.

English needs a word to describe the disappointment to discover a thread titled "Luxury Bangernomics" is not about sausages.

In what decade is Honda making luxury cars?

Several of them? Acura RLX looks quite like a luxury car.

I ran a Saab 9000 for years which I'd bought for £600, spent almost nothing on maintenance apart from a basic annual service, and then sold for £600.

Get a decent one and it's worthwhile.
