Schaefft Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 May I suggest one of Hondas Finest automobiles. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-Legend-Coupe-with-12-months-MOT/233030594835?hash=item3641b4b113:g:wHMAAOSwmkBcBFZS:rk:1:pf:0 It's in sunny Preston as well. As mentioned in the Ebay tat thread before, I would be the owner of this now, had I not found my 540i before. Very rare in this condition now.

Fuel costs are horrific as the V6 sounds good at full chat, worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djimbob Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Don't know if you've ever had the pleasure of piloting an LS400, but once you do, you won't want to go back to a smoll car afterwards (although your wallet may force the issue of course)! I'm a barge guy, had loads over the years, and I routinely purchase a more fuel efficient little run around, but inevitably I pick up the keys to the wafter as they are just so superior in every department (frugality aside, and even then they cost much less on average to service and run due to build quality reasons,captains of industry demand their cars do not break down like the plebs are wont to). I've just bought a Pug 206cc for fun and fuel reasons, but the Range Rover and the Lexus rx300 get the vote when it's cold and miserable etc every time, heated seats and so on are very persuasive, but I am looking forward to summer funsters in the wee frenchie I would at least try an LS or similar barge, you can always sell it on if you get bored, there's always a demand on here for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVee8 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 When I had my Jag S-Type R and my Jag S-type 3.0 SE,I bought a Chinese shite scooter to balance the fuel costs.the scooter broke down and I had to be recovered by MrsV8 or FiL V8 or I dump it and walk in,if i was close more times that I care to remember. djimbob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hooli Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 it's a very well cared for Volvo 850 T5. I hope you like buying tyres & petrol! They are lots of fun because they are incapable of putting the power on the floor & preferring to turn it into tyre smoke. Ghosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 The front tyres are reasonably tidy looking Pirellis, for those wondering. They must have spent a hecking fortune on this car, the wheels have been refurbed too and look superb, although more metallic than new.

They are lots of fun because they are incapable of putting the power on the floor & preferring to turn it into tyre smoke.Lol, I read a press kit earlier that said Volvo had limited the power of the engine and put something on the gearbox to stop wheelspin and only have usable power! It's more that I found an 850 to my taste, it's just sheer luck that I got a T5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Is it an auto? Both Volvo and Saab on their turbo'd cars limit the amount of max torque in 1st and 2nd gear as the boxes couldn't take the power. Ghosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
