 PLEASE SEE EBAY ITEM # 151356738238 FOR REFERENCE BEFORE BIDDING!

 This sale is from a previous eBay transaction ( See eBay item #151356738238 ) I was involved in where the seller wasn't upfront with the REAL condition of the car. I won the auction and flew out to pick up the car with the understanding that the car was "HIGHWAY READY" and that the seller had performed a Jiffy Lube inspection (at my requested expense) to prepare it for the long trip back to Utah.  The seller arrived with the vehicle on a trailer and after unloading the car, I exchanged keys for payment, and prepared to leave, I noticed a crack along the entire windshield that wasn't disclosed in the eBay auction as well as a baseball sized hole in the driver seat (back part right next to the door).

THE FIRST FOUR PHOTOS THAT YOU SEE ARE THE PHOTOS OF THE CAR THAT THE PREVIOUS SELLER "TONYKAW7R" DISPLAYED IN HIS AD.  ALL REMAINING PHOTOS ARE ONES THAT I TOOK UPON CLOSER INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE THE NEXT MORNING.

Despite these things, I began to drive home to Utah from Memphis, Tennessee.  After 100 miles, the check engine light came on.  I stopped for gas and checked the oil.  There was NO OIL on the dipstick. This tells me that he didn't change the oil out at all.  I found immaculate records of oil changes, and other services that the original owner had kept in the glove box.  It appears that she did a great job maintaining the vehicle.  I had an oil change done, and the service man agreed that no oil change had been done recently and that it was due for one.

I proceeded on my way, and then noticed that the car would shift into 5th gear, but the shifter would pop out from time to time.  This kept happening until finally it wouldn't go into 5th gear at all!  I stopped by a mechanics shop and they said it would be a "repair" fix involving the linkage of the car, tightening a bolt, etc.  I got a second opinion, and they also agreed.  I then noticed that reverse didn't work either.  I didn't get a quote for that repair since I was desperately trying to talk to the seller about what might be wrong and how we could remedy the situation.

Sadly, the seller discontinued contact with me and I was stranded in Arkansas without a way to get back home. 

I am asking for a "BUY IT NOW" price to compensate me for the money I had already sent the seller that I will probably never be able to recover.  Ebay states that since the car is over 10 years old it doesn't qualify for the "Buyer's Guarantee" that they offer, and they encouraged me to contact authorities to get my money back from the seller.

I will give you a list of things I noticed while having the car checked out.

1. The car shifts GREAT from 1st to 4th!  Super smooth.
2. Drink console cover is broken off, but does fit nicely in the little slit next to it.
3. Almost BRAND NEW TIRES!!!
4. A/C is super cold and works great!
5. The rear passenger window rolls slowly - possibly the motor going out.
6. Front bumper doesn't fit exactly on.. Maybe a small accident?
7.  The rear passenger door can't be opened from the outside.
8. No CD player in the car - previous seller said there was one...
9. Passenger front door can't be unlocked with key. DOES WORK WITH THE POWER LOCKS THOUGH.
10.  Overhead dome light isn't attached firmly and lights don't work.
11. Dingy center console cover.
12. Struts need to be replaced.

Glickenhaus's SCG 003 to pack twin-turbo Honda V6?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus has made (or commissioned) two vehicles to date - the P4/5 and the P4/5 Competizione - and is now hard at work on its third. The first was based on the Ferrari Enzo and the second on a Ferrari F430, but the third is being developed independently from the ground up. The question, then, is what engine will it use?
Well now we may have our answer as Jalopnik reports that the SCG 003 (as it's known at the moment) will be powered by a 3.5-liter V6 sourced from Honda, fitted with twin turbochargers and producing in excess of 500 horsepower.
Honda's J35Y engine produces 278 horsepower in the Accord, 290 hp in the Acura MDX and 310 hp in the RLX. It also forms the basis for the HR35TT racing engine which Honda Performance Development puts in its Daytona Prototype, so if the rumors turn out to be true, chances are that's probably the engine in question - with the possible addition of a hybrid electric assist - but we'll have to sit tight to find out for sure.

2014 Honda Odyssey gets some tidy tweaks [w/video]

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Here in New York, Honda is offering up a refreshed version of its well-liked Odyssey minivan, bringing with it a slew of updates including the segment's first in-car vacuum. It looks to be a neat little feature, one that families will no doubt get a lot of use out of. Kids are spill-machines, after all.
On the outside, the Odyssey gets a revised front end with dark headlamp surrounds, shiny cross-bars in the grille, and an aluminum hood and bumper. We think the blacked-out grille trim looks fine on this charcoal model, but question how smart it will look on models with lighter paint tones. Out back, there are new LED taillamps, and it looks like a new wheel design will be on offer, too.
Other changes for the 2014 Odyssey include some structural reinforcements for improved safety and some new available nannies like lane-departure warning and forward collision warning. Inside, buyers will find new finishes inside the cabin, a redesigned center stack and pushbutton start. Scroll down for the full details in an official video and in Honda's press release, and have a look at new images live from the show floor in the gallery above.

Best sport sedans for 2022 and 2023

Thu, Nov 11 2021

SUVs dominate the car industry at every size and price level, but some people still prefer the looks, and more importantly, the performance and comfort, of the traditional sedan. With a lower ride height, lighter weight and generally smaller size, they often are much more fun to drive, and can even be more comfortable. Sport sedans of course lean harder on the performance side of things, and are among the best options for sheer speed and fun, thanks to those inherent characteristics. We've rounded up the ones in the segment that do the sporty dance better than any others in 2024 to give you a handy guide when you're shopping for one of your own. You'll find a wide array of cars here including gas, electric and hybrid powertrains. They'll have manual and automatic transmissions and drive the front, rear or all four wheels. Technically a few hatchbacks have slipped in, but they're close enough in look and feel that we wanted to include them. And excluding them means you might miss out on some of the best-driving options available. You wouldn't want that, would you? Alfa Romeo Giulia Why it stands out: Punchy four-cylinder; astounding power from Quadrifoglio; light and nimble character; awesome shift paddlesCould be better: Clunky infotainment; sub-par switchgear Read our Alfa Romeo Giulia review We start this list with one of the most predictable inclusions: the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Yes, it's a stereotype that the Italian sport sedan is fun to drive, but the fact is, well, it is. The Giulia comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 280 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful four-cylinders in the segment. It's paired with a snappy and smooth eight-speed transmission and either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.  The engine is lively and torquey, if a little short of revs, and the chassis feels super-light. The steering is eager and the car jumps into corners. We also highly recommend getting a version with the enormous and superb aluminum paddle shifters that make clicking through gears much more entertaining. And on the topic of the interior, it's attractive, but the various switches and knobs feels a little cheap, and the infotainment system is clunky. Of course there's also the incredible Giulia Quadrifoglio at the high end. It gets a Ferrari-derived twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 making 505 hp, and it's rear-wheel drive only.
