I didn't overpay on the VFR. I bought the Camry used. Had it 3 years or so and should have it 3 more at least.

My 99 Honda Passport I bought new - but it was still cheaper than many of the other SUV's I looked at. Drove it 8 years and 198,000 miles and got 3500 for it when I finally sold it. My 95 Honda Del Sol I sold my mom back in 99 or so and she's still driving it today.

Love me a Honda!! If I hadn't gotten a good deal on the Toyota I would still be driving one.

fail

Same vehicle over at Izuzu for less and with better warranty.

We had the same year and same vehicle...except with the Izuzu logo on it.
The Honda salesman told us to do it

No fail thanks. I knew it was an Izuzu. I also knew the people at the Honda dealership where I bought it. Nice try though!

It's ISUZU...not Izuzu.

LOL..funny story. Germans over engineer shit and run way too many diagnostics on shit that usually set falsely.

I just happen to work for a German company and I'm very happy to do it. Our machines while over engineered are concidered the best you can get and are used to check the drivetrains in every quailty car made.

Buying a car you can't afford to service is dumb.

Oh, he can afford it. He just prefers to do things himself.

Over engineering stuff doesn't mean it lasts longer. It just means it contains more waste.

The best ideas are the simplest ones that work. - A. Einstein and he was German too!
