    It makes feeding my addiction so much easier.

    Yeah well if you don't turn up at the meet, you're going to end up buried in those lovely mountains :P

    WTH? Can't find a buyer's guide for the Mk6 Accord anywhere online. It's as though they're so reliable they don't need one! Looking for an auto 2L with leather and toys, easy to find a couple but whether they're worth it... well, that'll have to wait.

    Aren't they just a revised version of the 92 model?

    Mk 6?

    That's the up to 2002 model ??

    Don't you fancy the newer model?

    I do, but it'd be a cheap buy, still reliable with a bit of poke and comfort. Bangernomics really.

    Holy crap that's cheap! I have to buy an auto (I'll be getting an auto licence and don't want to risk being caught driving a manual), but that's a lovely car.

    What happened to getting something sporty/relatively quick?

    In 2006 I paid €2250 for a 1999 Rover 618 Lux (from Green Isle motors no less :pac: ), basically an Accord as you know.
    2003/2004 petrol Accords nowadays for €2500/€3000 is about right imo.


    Bummer about the Auto license, I drive an auto myself but wouldn't like to be limited to them.

    I'll get the manual licence in a year or two, but I'm used to an auto now and prefer it tbh. Yeah I do have an LPG fetish now. We'll see though.

    A 2L VTEC Accord isn't such a slowpoke really. Good handling too.

    It's about 9/10 seconds to 60 I'd say! :) Boot is tiny and awkward aswell btw, think you had that mentioned as a requirement before.

    My last car did 0-60 in 9 seconds, hmmm... maybe a faster car is in order. But then a Saab comes into the pic (low price, high performance) and their reliability is on a par with an Alfa...

    admittedly, at the very least fake wheels. and an optimistic price tag (i think) for a 13 year old 2.8 petrol merc that is out of tax. looks wicked none the less :)
    Good on fuel belive it or not

    indeed.

    Clever.

    Mark, buy something deadly for cheap and splash on fuel.
    You're not delivering pizza anymore so to hell with MPG! :p
