It was an expensive high performance car when new with the maintenance and running costs of an expensive car that don’t get cheaper just because the car sells for $10K used. Really no different than one would find with a used BMW/Audi/MB.

Definitely solid, known for safety, luxury, European ... but high maintenance. The R has a lot of features eg. C4 suspension as mentioned and the more features & tech, the more things can go wrong & the more expensive it is to replace. Pay to play.

Needs some work but price is reasonable depending on what exactly needs to be done to the tranny. I love these things. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/pml...843182415.html |

Price is on the higher side but ticks a lot of boxes for being a good all-rounder. Says no low ballers which seems to imply you can make an offer and end up with a good deal.

People that own these cars don’t maintain them plus they’re shittily built to begin with.

Isnt that the one with 200k miles or sth. And if you ask the seller for the mileage they just rudely reply you?
Edit: Agree with TouringTeg, these are probably 2 very huge determining factors when buying cars.
1) No mileage listed? Probably high
2) No mention of "no accidents/claims"? Probably claims

Car sales pet peeve #17: Sellers who purposely leave off the mileage.

What makes the 7th gen accord clutch job cost so much? aren't most clutch jobs around the $1k mark for Honda?

LOL. Fuck that guy. He sent me an e-mail back in January after our exchange saying car was sold trying to rub it in.
Here's his asinine replies for those who missed it last time: Quote:

the m3 badge on the dash tells you everything you need to know about the seller.

Knockoff BMW mats, non original interior with no mention of it, Federal 595 tires, arrogant seller.
Not a sweet combo.
