Take the old hose to Repco or supercheap and see if they can match it up.

Take the hose to a radiator repair shop or one of the above and match it up with a cheaper one.

sometimes it's like the Repco guys just pull a price out of thin air and throw it at you- has no relevence to their buy price or price of genuine parts. They just do it cos they can.

OP. The 1988 Legend in 2.0, 2.5 and 2.7 variants all take the same top hose and the same bottom hoses. Both of these hoses are less than $50 retail from Repco.
Either you have been quoted on the wrong part or you have the vehicle information wrong.

Try BNT, someone must have one for a reasonable price. Otherwise order one from the states, its under NZ$20 + shipping for one from there.

Often Honda Parts are reasonably prices, and if it is NZ new you put in the rego number and all the parts are listed for that vehicle.

They can be as 'green' as they want. As long as I can work on them myself and at a affordable price, I'm happy.
