Disagree that they're not luxobarges, I feel they are and there's nothing wrong with the Honda brand. Or would it be a proper brand if they'd stuck on some Accura stickers like they do similarly with fancy Toyotas
I'd have neither either though
Very old (looking) now, max tax with very little poke out of the V6 and of course FWD. Plenty of nicer fish in the sea."Make no mistake. The days of the internal combustion engine are definitely numbered" - Quentin Willson, 1997

Just a quick update on this - I've (finally) joined the luxobarge club. Picked up a GS300, absolutely love it, it's some machine for the money. I can suffer the tax for the sake of the low price, the comfort and the power, and I'm surprised at the fuel economy, 8.9l in mix of motorway and city.
Stuck my 03 trusty Accord, that I'd owned for 9 years, up on DD, was going to post the ad in the bangernomics thread, but the first guy that called me bought it
. He actually knew my mechanic, so he was able to check the service history directly...
Hoping to have several years of trouble-free luxobarge motoring ahead of me!0 -

Congrats, can I ask what you got it for? 8.9l is 27mpg which is pretty good. Curious what it would be like at a constant 120 on the motorway.
any pics? Spec?0 -

Congrats. Share pics, we love seeing pics 0 -
Thanks lads. It's the GS300, without the sat nav, but with basically everything else - even the glass on the speedo/rev counter dims, or brightens, depending on external ambient light. Beige leather, power everything, incl lumbar, it's just a really nice place to be.
It was actually mentioned earlier in the thread, was being sold from a garage on behalf of someone. Went to see it, made an offer, managed to do a deal. I think they were glad to get rid of it, to be honest. Sold my accord for a great deal for the buyer too, felt it only fair to share the love.
Don't have interior pics as I'm in the office, but here's an external view...0 -

That's the one, Truckermal, will stand you that pint. I had actually phoned about that one previously, after viewing a few different ones I went and had a look at it. Got a deal, well within luxobarge money.
Thanks all for the good wishes!0 -
