Well, that is true, honda resale is extremely good. I had a guy try to buy my 1993 Accord for $3000 with 200k on it even though I told him the axles were so bad they were about to fall off and the brakes weren't working. I've heard that Honda even gets its own lane at some dealer auction sale things.
I had a northstar cadillac and if it survived me, no one can break one. I drove the good christ walking out of that car ad never had a problem.. I guess they DO have a bad reputation, the northstars. That is too bad
You're right, too, it's not one of those cars you can just wander into a mechanic's shop with asking them to fix things. I did shit myself, like cleaning those damned phenolic spacer things and changing the plugs and the injectors myself, saved a mint doing that.
