1997 Acura 2.2cl Premium, Rare 5-speed, Outstanding Pristine Condition, 34 Mpg on 2040-cars
Willoughby, Ohio, United States
|
This is a NO RESERVE listing.
This is my 1997 Acura 2.2CL Premium with the rare 5-speed manual transmission. The timing belt and water pump have recently been replaced along with other major service at the Acura dealer. This Acura is in AMAZING, OUTSTANDING, INCREDIBLE condition. You cannot believe how pristine and gorgeous this car is for the age and mileage. It is superb in every way- this car is a true find. Every so often you will come across a higher-mileage car like this that is in impeccable, pristine and incredible condition. These cars are incredibly rare. To find an owner who is willing to keep a car in superb, near-perfect condition for this long is amazing. If someone told you this car had 20,000 miles you would believe it. I cannot overemphasize how superb the condition of this car is. This has to be the nicest 2.2CL for sale anywhere in the country, regardless of mileage. The 2.2CL is in my opinion, one of the best products the Honda Motor Company made- it is a superb combination of bulletproof reliability, luxury and economy (34mpg highway). This car has the reliability of its cousin and platform-mate, the Honda Accord. It has superb luxury and amenities of leather and all power options and it is a very comfortable car. It also has outstanding fuel economy from its 2.2L VTEC 4-cylinder engine and 5-speed manual transmission. This car has everything going for it. I don't know where you would ever find a cleaner, better-kept example of this car. This car is in near time-capsule condition; it is truly outstanding. The paint and body are excellent. The paint appears to be original with no known accidents. The body is straight, clean, rust-free (ZERO RUST) and extremely clean in every way. Even the aluminum wheels are in superb shape and the tires are nearly new. The exterior and body of this car are just superb- you cannot imagine how a 1997 car could have been this well-preserved. The interior of this Acura looks basically like it did when it was new. There is practically no sign of use or wear in the interior at all. The leather seats are excellent, the carpets look new and the upholstery and switchgear is clean and excellent. There is no wear on the radio buttons, climate control buttons, shift knob or steering wheel. Every interior surface, switch and button looks like new. Again, I cannot imagine how the interior of a 1997 car could ever look any better. This car runs and drives perfectly. It has none of the typical high-mileage squeaks, rattles or clunks. This car is TIGHT, solid and drives just like a new vehicle. It is quiet, smooth and powerful. The engine, transmission, clutch, brakes, and suspension are all superb. There are zero known mechanical or electrical problems- everything on this car works just like it should. There are no warning lights illuminated. This is a totally reliable and dependable vehicle in every way. I wouldn't hesitate to jump in this car and drive to California and back. All of the power options and equipment are working- the power moonroof, power windows, power locks, cruise control, climate control and A/C, radio and CD player- all are working perfectly. I have a receipt from our local Acura dealer for a recent service which included the timing belt, water pump, drive belts, cooling system service, spark plugs and 4-wheel alignment for a total service bill of over $1300. This car needs NO known mechanical work and it is totally up-to-date on service and ready for another couple hundred thousand miles of driving. I see no reason this car couldn't make it to 400,000 or even 500,000 miles given the condition it has been kept in so far. This car looks better and is in better condition than most 3 year old cars I see with 40,000 miles. This Acura has the following equipment and options:
I have the original books and manuals for the car as well. This is a 1997 car and as such it is not brand new. Please expect normal signs of wear and use consistent with the age of the car. Here is a complete list of every known defect in the car, no matter how small: there are a few dings along the passenger side and on the passenger door (garage wear), the front and rear bumpers appear to have been repainted (correctly) due to stone nicks, etc. There is a tiny spot of wear on the side bolster of the driver's leather seat. There is a very minor rattle (heat shield?) and maybe the tiniest leak in the exhaust. You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home. Alternatively you can have this car shipped, please call Angels Moving Autos at 530-245-0481 for a shipping quote. This car is kept in my garage in Willoughby, OH. Questions, please email me or call/text me at 440-339-4341. |

2014 North American Car of the Year:
Acura NSX production delayed
Fri, Aug 14 2015Listeners of the Autoblog Podcast will be familiar with my opinions on the Acura NSX. While I love the idea of Acura building a halo car again, I've routinely joked on-air that the car will never, ever reach production and will continue being teased and previewed ad nauseam. So I'm chuckling at this news: the NSX is being delayed again. To be fair, while it sounds like a big deal – pushing the NSX back from model year 2016 to 2017 – this is a fairly minor delay in the grand scheme. Instead of starting production this fall, as previously announced, the new supercar will start rolling down the line at Honda's Marysville, OH factory in the spring. "Trial production" has already started, Honda says, while briefly acknowledging the delay in the attached press release. While Honda offered no reason for the delay in volume production, Automobile claims it's the fault of the move to fit two turbochargers to the V6, which was made midway through development. Fitting the two iron lungs meant rearranging the six-pot into a longitudinal layout. Here's hoping there are no further delays. Scroll on for a look at Honda's press release, which does its best to gloss over the NSX delay while talking about the company's new Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville.

The next-generation Acura NSX is produced at the new, dedicated Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC) in Marysville, Ohio, using domestic and globally sourced parts. With trial production already underway and production start-up scheduled for spring 2016, this world-class manufacturing facility employs groundbreaking techniques in weld, body construction, body painting, final assembly and quality confirmation to ensure the highest levels of precision and craftsmanship. More details on the unique and innovative manufacturing processes at the PMC will be rolled out over the months leading up to the start of production, but the following highlights of the new facility were shared during the 2015 Monterey Automotive Week: Innovative blend of people and technology: throughout the PMC, NSX production is centered around the skills of approximately 100 experienced engineers and technicians building the NSX to precise levels of quality and craftsmanship.
Acura NSX GT3 swings through New York en route to the track
Wed, Mar 23 2016Supercars are developed for the road, but sometimes the prospect of putting them on the track proves just too tempting to pass up. McLaren found out just that with the legendary F1, and now its racing partner Honda is doing the same with the new Acura NSX GT3 you see here. Unveiled here at the 2016 New York Auto Show, the NSX GT3 is based closely on the road-going version, but with several key differences. For starters, it ditches the trick hybrid all-wheel-drive system, not unlike the Type R we're expecting to follow. It keeps the 3.5-liter V6, but purely in twin-turbo guise (with no electrical boost in sight), driving the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox instead of the nine-speed dual-clutch transmission. The aluminum space frame carries over, but comes draped in extensively modified bodywork with more extreme aero to keep it cool and glued to the track. Since it's been designed to FIA GT3 regulations (and not the more advanced GTE), we shouldn't expect to see it competing at Le Mans against the new Ford GT (among others). But it will be in prime position to take on championships like the Pirelli World Challenge, Blancpain Endurance Series, and even the lower GT300 class of Japan's own Super GT series. Wherever it competes, though, it positively looks the business even sitting still, and we're looking forward to seeing it run. Acura Unveils NSX GT3 Racecar in New York Mar 23, 2016 - NEW YORK, NY - Twin turbocharged NSX supercar to campaign in North American competition starting 2017 - NSX slated to undergo homologation this fall as an FIA GT3 class racecar - Racecar body to be built by the Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio, the exclusive manufacturing home to the all-new Acura NSX supercar; engine to be produced in Anna, Ohio Acura took the wraps off a NSX GT3 racecar today at the 2016 New York International Auto Show, announcing its intention to campaign the twin-turbocharged NSX supercar in North America starting in 2017. The NSX is currently undergoing testing and slated for homologation as an FIA GT3 class racecar this fall. The unveiled Acura NSX GT3 racecar featured custom bodywork and aero components including a large deck wing spoiler, underbody diffuser and enlarged hood vents for efficient engine cooling.
