Our buyer was the local CarMax since that is the quickest and cleanest
way to sell that I'm aware of. Since it was over 10 years old they
were going to auction it off, and I doubt that they made much money on
the deal. I didn't want to be bothered with a private sale and
possible recriminations from a disgruntled purchaser.
The biggest issue with older luxury cars is maintenance. The cars may
be a bargain but parts and service are not.
That is one thing about my Prelude, Turn it over and it is a Civic so
parts are available and if you are OK with after market parts, cheap.
I haven't really replaced much but Advance Auto seems to have it.
The vehicles for at least 20+ years have been pretty impressive for needing
repair. When you understand how much more technology is in the vehicles
and really how few problems most have in the same amount of time, most
50-60’s cars were worn out. My 2004 Chevy 2500 in 150,000 miles still ran
great. Seats were getting broke down, they changed the front hubs at
60,000 miles, but was probably my own fault for abusing them. Forgot and
towed the boat back 150 miles at freeway speed in 4x4 mode. One hub made
noise and the dealer mechanic said the other was a little out of
tolerance, so replaced it also. And the CD changer went out, so replaced
with an Alpine nav unit. And a fuel pressure regulator at 140,000 and
power steering hose at 150,000. Oh, a water pump at maybe 110,000.
Brakes at 80,000.
