A what? Don't blame you if you've never seen one before - they're from Australia just to confuse things. The Japanese equivalent of a Granada or Volvo 760 estate - or a builder's van by Lexus. I acquired this (through eBay, naturally) after stupidly selling the 405 then putting the Accord up for sale - and selling it - before my company SAAB was built, let alone delivered.

Why so cheap? Suspected cooling system problem - lots of pressure and some loss through the overflow, but only if the car was caned, not in normal use. Probably headgasket. Made itself bloody useful on multiple trips to and from the tip before I got my new SAAB, mind. Return to the car page.
