    Prices for Exotic cars are low up here once people realize that they have to keep them in a garage 7 months out of the year or they'll rust a hole in them and/or slide on black ice to a firey early grave.

    Anecdotally, at least when it comes to Honda, they've been kinda coasting on their reputation for quality the past couple of years. The days of buying a civic and putting a million miles on it are pretty much over. Nearly everyone I know with a recent model honda has had at least some kind of major mechanical issue way sooner than such things should reasonably happen.

    Well I guess they may be going the way of Ford and the like. Unfortunate because they were good investments (depreciating investments) but still good for how long they lasted.

    These things always go in cycles. Somebody gets a reputation for quality, coasts on it while charging more $$$ for not as good a product, people notice, people get mad, quality increase/price drops, rinse repeat.

    You know like GM. Car rusts out from under you...GM sells you a new car...another car rusts out from under you...GM sells you a new car...

    See? Cycles.

    with that you cant hit as hard for a company, seals and shit are lowest bidder and even 1 manufacturer could have good/bad plants.

    It's funny you mention that because my Grandpa had a Zephyr many years ago and while it wasn't in the best condition, the craziest thing happened. One day we were driving down the road and I was in the front passenger seat and my foot went through the floorboard. :emoji_joy::emoji_joy::emoji_joy::emoji_joy:. He put a piece of plywood and some aluminum siding underneath it or something like that but then the sun roof flew off like just a couple months later. He got rid of it then. It was crazy. That's why I have a really strong dislike for Fords.

    My dad had an 89 Honda prelude that he paid $25 for with 200k miles on it because the guy wanted it out of his pasture. New tires, did a complete tune-up, and he drove it 200 miles each way 5 days a week for 4 years. I learned how to drive a stick with it without supervision and without frying the clutch.

    The old girl survived hitting a deer at 65mph with just a few scratches on the roof from hooves and deer hair in the grille because it rode so low it catapulted the deer completely up and over the car. She lasted until the 450k mark until something went bad in the charging system and fried the ECM and he wasn't gonna put 500x what he paid for it into it.

    There's an 89 Prelude for sale about an hour from here for $1700 with 180k on it that I'm really tempted to buy, just to have something to play with.
