Stuff like this and every time I have to deal with similar type of fuckery, I stop and really consider buying a Lincoln Town Car and just try to keep it running as long as I can lol.
All I'll say is, I'm happy my 1994 Honda still basically works well.
And you can keep it running indefinitely.
We have several of that vintage in the family for just that reason.
Yup.
Mine just needed a new catalytic converter and new brakes. And it had some faulty sensors replaced.
Hmmmmmmm. $2k in fixes - or a new car for $30k?
I miss my old Hondas. All of 'em. I had a '94 Accord, a '99 Accord, a '03 Civic, a '03 CRV, a '13 Accord Touring and now a '23 Accord Touring. I had a 2003 Mercedes C230 that was a very quick fling, but we don't talk about that. (I have already started talking to a few dealers for dibs on a '26 Accord Touring.)
The 1994-2003'ish generation Accords were super easy to work on, less a few quirky things. I still keep a Honda crank shaft bolt tool in my toolbox for nostalgia reasons, actually. My 99 4-cyl Accord was the car I used to learn how to rebuild engines and it was super forgiving with any mistakes. (It was running with half a valve somehow, but that was pre-existing and something I discovered prior to me breaking other things.)
Crown Vic. There are a billion of them, they're robust, there are parts everywhere.
Yes, there are other options as well.
