Key strengths: Powerful engine / prestige
Areas for improvement: Fuel consumption
I bought this as a fun summer car, and it's turned into a really fun daily driver! I really dread putting it away for the winter.
Even though it is 31 years old, and has some wear around the edges, the engine is very powerful and the ride is very smooth.
But 31 years later, luxury is at a completely new level. A Honda has almost all the "luxury" features that this car does at almost the same price.
I've done all the maintenance myself, and prices on parts have been surprisingly reasonable. I would turn it over to a professional for anything more than a basic tune-up. The brakes are especially tricky.
It was literally owned by a little old lady who could no longer drive it, and it sat for a couple years before I came across it. The engine ran a little rough at first, and the power steering pump leaked, but there have been no problems since.
I'm used to a Beetle diesel as my daily driver, so 13mpg on premium really hurts!
The running costs for Rolls-royce Silver Shadow 6.75 litre V8 Automatic are very high
