'87 Honda Accord LXi hatch- $300 never flew so far. It would not die. We even put a cinder block on the gas for an hour.

There was a video of some people beating up an 80's model accord or civic, they drained all the fluids but gas, beat the hell out of it, including sledgehammering the engine while running) and the car continued to run for about 10 minutes after the engine caught fire. Absolutely bulletproof cars.

1996 Volvo 850 sedan. Thats the only car I had before the A8. Owned it for 5 years with very few problems, until a fat woman in a highlander backed into it one day, managing to total it. I still miss it. It gave me very few problems and was actually a pretty fun car to drive, a lot more road feel than the antiseptic and stodgy A8.

Biggest issue was that the air con packed up and left after a couple years, and I didn't want to spend the $900-1100 to get it fixed. So on those days in late august when the temp gauge read 102degrees Fahreinheit - I just didnt go out in the daytime.

I was sort of looking to replace it with an early S80, but I was put off by the problems those cars allegedly have.
