I can't tell if you're serious, or making a joke here.

I'm very uneducated in the Honda world. But when I think Honda i think high revving, top of the power band, etc. Which in my head a turbo would make greater use of this.

Not necessarily, putting a supercharger on a honda helps with the low end torque alot and you can get up to speed really quick. A youtuber "thetongman" has a supercharged civic si, 300 whp i think but it beats alot of cars with more power than him.

Not a great deal, but WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

I think calling this a stretch would be an understatement...

Edit - On a side note, was this owned by an RS member?

Yes, in the US, E55 wagons are worth $40k+ usd for lower miles, but they are rare North American models only sold in the US. The wagons from Europe/Japan are more common and are not going to be worth as much as people think when they are brought to Canada.

would be surprised if that em1 isn't sold by tmr
one of the last fun honda on 4 wheels made...100% bone stock at a price where you wouldn't get mad if someone stole it in a few months LUL

welfare 01-13-2019 11:44 PM

Probably up the wrong alley here, but a good buy nonetheless.
Granted it is non turbo and a 250 so no solid front axle.

I don't think the station wagon is that popular here, and its not because its a rare car. Both Cadillac and Benz sell the station wagon in their line up but not many people buy.

tofu1413 01-14-2019 08:51 AM

North American car culture demands SUVs.



Wagons are great cars and do exactly what they intend to: drive nice like cars and haul lots of stuff..... great cars to own since most of us don't see off road duty with our vehicles at all..


E60 M5 6MT drives awesome! much better than the SMG unit by days.

No doubt there’s going to be some expensive maintenance and repairs but, as the article states, finding a low-mileage manual is extremely rare.

twitchyzero 01-14-2019 10:33 AM

23k USD for a manual V10 that's only has 23k miles?

yep if it has dealer service records, i'd fly up and go through the hassle of importing it into the US

if it checks out that is, as they didnt bother with a description or interior photos

bcuzracecarz 01-14-2019 02:15 PM

That is hoping the ad / salesman actually means manual transmission with a gear lever, not out of the ordinary for idiots/clickbaiters to list the SMG or Duel clutch trannies as "Manual". If actually is 3 pedal, that's a great deal!

tofu1413 01-14-2019 02:22 PM

just ran the build sheet. it said manual!

TopsyCrett 01-14-2019 09:03 PM

Priced high, but it looks so clean. Look at the leather...
A reliable daily, just clean the transmission solenoid filters and install an in-line transmission filter.

I drove an S2000 with a supercharger. I hoped it might fill out the bottom end and midrange before VTEC hit but it did the opposite. Nothing happened until you hit VTEC then it suddenly made nearly 400hp. Was completely undriveable.

welfare 01-14-2019 10:37 PM

Maybe it was the tune

Funnel 01-14-2019 11:06 PM

my SC ITR does opposite. full of bottom/mid torque less feeling of VTEC kick
