IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACK ENTRIES YOU MUST E:MAIL ME PRIOR TO BID OR I WILL DELETE BID AND BLOCK PARTICIPATION. I RESERVE RIGHT TO CANCEL BIDS AND BLOCK  ANYONE I DEEM TO HAVE POOR OR DECEPTIVE FEEDBACK HISTORY. 

THIS AUCTION IS FOR A LIGHTLY WRECKED 1985 HONDA CRX HATCH BACK, HF OR HIGH FUEL MODEL. VERY RARE AND SOUGHT AFTER WITH LOW MILEAGE, 78790. I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS EXCEPT IT WAS THE HF MODEL (WHICH SUPPOSEDLY, CAN GET UP TO 50 MPG) WITH 5 SPEED AND AC. HOWEVER, AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS OF WORKING ON IT (INCLUDING A REBUILD OF THE ORGINAL CARB AT THE CARB EXCHANGE-THEY ARE ON EBAY AND SPECIALIZE IN IMPORT CARBS-SEE RECEIPT LAST PIC), I'VE BECOME FRUSTRATED AND AM  READY TO GIVE UP.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR LAST DECEMBER, IT HAS A CLEAR NON SALVAGE ARKANSAS TITLE IN MY NAME. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT WOULD START WITH DIFFICULTY AND WOULD NOT IDLE FOR CRAP, CARB WOULD STAY REVVED. I DRAINED THE GAS TANK, BLEW THE LINES WITH COMPRESSED AIR AND REFILLED THE TANK WITH FRESH FUEL. I ALSO INSTALLED A NEW FUEL PUMP, NEW DIST CAP, NEW NGK PLUGS, PLUG WIRES AND AIR FILTER. IT DID NOT MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE FOR THE IDLING. I REMOVED THE CARB (WHICH TOOK ME ABOUT 4 HOURS WITH ALL THE FREAKIN VACUUM LINES). I SENT IT OFF FOR REBUILD ON 4/2014. I REINSTALLED IT TWO WEEKS AGO, PRETTY SURE I HAVE ALL THE VACUMM LINES CORRECT AS I TOOK PICS BEFORE REMOVAL AND LABELED THEM ALL WITH TAPE. USED THE FACTORY CARB PLASTIC SPACER PLATE WHICH IS IN GOOD SHAPE. IT STARTS MUCH EASIER NOW, BUT IT STILL IDLES HIGH. SOMETIMES IT WILL IDLE AROUND 1200 RPM AT START, THEN WILL SOMETIMES  GO UP TO 2000 RPM, AND WHEN I HIT THE KICKDOWN, IT WILL SOMETIME GO UP EVEN HIGHER, UP TO 3K RPM. I'VE GOTTEN PRETTY SICK OF MESSING WITH IT. I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE THE THROTTLE LINKAGES MALADJUSTED (AS I LOOSENED THEM) BUT REALLY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE CAUSE. THE CARB EXCHANGE PRE TEST/RUN THESE CARBS ON ACTUAL ENGINES BEFORE THEY SHIP THEM, AND SO, THE IDLE IS PRE SET. I'M NOT GOING TO MONKEY AROUND WITH THE IDLE SCREWS AS I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S THE PROBLEM, BUT I DON'T KNOW THE CAUSE. ENGINE SOUNDS FINE, NO KNOCKS OR NOISE. THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT COMMUTER CAR WITH THE MILEAGE THESE THINGS ARE CAPABLE OF. SPEEDOMETER, TACH, WIPERS, WIPER SPRITZER, FAN, TURN SIGNALS, EMERGENCY LIGHTS ALL WORK, RADIO IN OP, I HAVE NOT CHECKED FUSEBOX.

ANYWAY, I CAN ONLY RUN IT FOR A COUPLE MINUTES AS THE RADIATOR IS MISSING. I WAS GOING TO BUY A NEW ONE AT AUTOZONE ($113.00 DOLLARS) AND SEE IF THE IDLE WOULD COME DOWN AFTER IT RAN A BIT MORE, BUT I THINK I'M DONE WITH THE BEAST.

AS FOR THE MECHANICALS, I HAVE ONLY RUN IT DOWN THE STREET TO MAKE SURE IT GOES THROUGH ALL GEARS AND REVERSE. IT SHIFTS SMOOTHLY AND EASILY, NO WEIRD NOISES AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WOBBLE OR SHIMMY. HOWEVER, UNDERSTAND, YOU ARE BUYING A VEHICLE THAT I HAVE NOT RUN FOR MORE THAN 5-6 MINUTES TOTAL OR DRIVEN MORE THAN A 1/2 MILE (BECAUSE OF THE MISSING RADIATOR).

THE CORE SUPPORT WILL PROBABLY NEED A LITTLE TWEAKING TO MAKE EVERYTHING LINE UP, IT OBVIOUSLY NEEDS A NEW FRONT CAP, BUT THE DAMAGE DID NOT APPEAR TO AFFECT ANYTHING STRUCTURAL IN NATURE (AND I'VE BEEN AROUND, OVER AND UNDER IT, AND AS STATED, NO ISSUES NOTED DURING BRIEF TEST DRIVE). THERE ARE NUMEROUS, SMALL THINGS/FLAWS NEEDED ON THIS VEHICLE. HOOD IS CRINKED UNDERNEATH ON DRIVER SIDE EDGE. DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE COLLISION DAMAGE AS EDGES ARE FINE. I THINK HOOD WAS CLOSED ON TOP OF THE PROP ROD AND GOT BENT. I WAS PLANNING TO JUST HAVE A WELDING SHOP WELD A SMALL 1/8 THICK REINFORCEMENT PLATE TO IT. REAR RIGHT TAIL LIGHT IS CRACKED, BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON CONSTANLY, THE TRUNK LID HAS SOME SMALL HOLES ON TOP WHERE THE REAR SPOILER WAS, THE DOOR PANELS HAVE SOME CRACKS AND MISSING PIECES. ALL GLASS IS GOOD, THE AC LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE BUTTON IS PRESSED, I CANNOT TELL IF THE COMPRESSOR COMES ON. RADIATOR AND CONDENSOR ARE GONE. THERE IS SOME KIND OF FUNKY BLACK ROLL OUT COVER THAT YOU CAN EXTEND IN THE BACK HATCH. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S FACTORY OR NOT. THE GAS DOOR AND HATCH PULL RELEASES ON FLOOR BOTH WORK. THE EXTERIOR LOWER PLASTIC SKIRTING PIECES HAVE CRACKS AND MISSING PIECES. BOTH PLASTIC FRONT FENDERS ARE CRACKED AND MISSING SOME PIECES ON EDGES. I DO HAVE THE CORNER MARKER LIGHTS WITH CONNECTORS. TIRES ARE CRACKED, THE BRAKES WORK BUT ARE WEAK, THEY PROBABLY NEED REBUILD. HOOD RELEASE LATCH IS PRESENT BUT NOT BOLTED INTO CORE SUPPORT. FLOOR PANS ARE SOLID (SEE PIC), LOOKS TO BE ORIGINAL CARPET, SEATS ETC, NO RUST THROUGH I HAVE DETECTED. THERE IS SOME KIND OF FITTING ON THE PASSENGER INNER SIDE FLOORBOARD. I HAVEN'T A CLUE WHAT IT'S FOR, THOUGHT MAYBE SOMEONE TRIED TO RUN IT ON LNG AT SOME POINT BUT I REALLY DON'T KNOW. THE BATTERY IS NOT INCLUDED. I DIDN'T BUY THE CAR WITH ONE AND THE BATTERY I'M USING IS FOR MY CAR HAULER. ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING, I'M NOT A HONDA OR CRX EXPERT (OBVIOUSLY). IT LOOKS TO BE ALL ORIGINAL PAINT, AND I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S EVER BEEN HOT RODDED OR MODIFIED BY THE 'KID' CROWD, AS SO MANY OF THESE THINGS ARE. YOU CAN SEE THE FACTORY VIN STICKERS/PLATES ON THE CORE SUPPORT AND DOOR FRAME ARE IN PLACE. I HAVE PURCHASED SOME PARTS FOR THIS, INCLUDING A FACTORY HOOD (IF THE PROPOSED WELDING JOB DIDN'T WORK) AND PLASTIC DOOR PANELS (UNCRACKED). WINNING BIDDER CAN HAVE THEM FOR $150.00 TOTAL IF DESIRED, OR I'LL JUST LIST THEM AFTER CAR SELLS.

I BELIEVE THIS CAR, WITH THIS MILEAGE, AND BEING A HF MODEL, COULD BRING 5-7K RESTORED. I ALSO BELIEVE IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST 1-2 GRAND IN PARTS/PIECES TO GET IT THERE, IF YOU CAN DO THE LABOR YOURSELF. VEHICLE MUST BE PAID FOR WITHIN 7 DAYS AUCTION END, NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT OF $200.00 DUE WITHIN 72 HOURS AUCTION END, BUT I CAN KEEP THE THING IN MY GARAGE WHERE IT CURRENTLY RESIDES FOR A MONTH IF NEEDED. I LIVE ON A CUL DE SAC AND A LARGE CAR HAULER CAN NOT, MAKE THE TURN AROUND AT MY HOUSE. IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO HIRE A CONTRACT SHIPPER, MAKE SURE YOU/THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS AS I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOADING OR HELPING TO LOAD A CONTRACT SHIPPER. I WILL POINT TO THE CAR AND SAY, 'THERE IT IS'. (I HAVE NO ISSUE HELPING A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL LOAD, BUT I'VE HAD SOME BAD EXPERIENCES WITH PAID BID/BOARD JACKA** CONTACT SHIPPERS.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show Debuts

Thu, Sep 17 2015

Consider the 2015-16 auto show season officially kicked off. The Frankfurt Motor Show offered a great look at the newest crop of production cars and conceptual machines, and brought some old favorites back into the spotlight for a closer look. (The Alfa Romeo Giulia, for example, debuted in June, but this was the first time most of us saw it.) Now that the dust has settled and we're all on flights back to the US, our editors cast their votes for their personal favorites from the Frankfurt show. These are the cars we truly loved seeing the most. But unlike other shows, there was no one runaway winner – all of the Top Five received positive praise from our team. We won't spoil the results, though. Scroll down to see what we liked most from this year's Frankfurt expo. 5th Place – MERCEDES-BENZ IAA CONCEPT View 12 Photos MIKE AUSTIN: The clean lines on this concept have me excited for a more elegant beauty to future Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Next to the Concept IAA, the lovely S-Class Coupe looks like an overstyled barge. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Yeah, the extendable rear is neat and all, but I'm more interested in the front-end styling of this one. It looks like the Tron version of a 300SL, in a good way. I'm hopeful it portends the future of Mercedes design. STEVEN EWING: I was super impressed when Mercedes said that, with the rear end extended, this concept has a drag coefficient of just 0.19. That's crazy aerodynamic. I'm not head-over-heels about the styling, but I think the lessons learned from this concept are really important, and will play a huge role in the future of Mercedes' products. 4th Place – ALFA ROMEO GIULIA View 15 Photos SEYTH MIERSMA: I can hardly express how in love with this car I am. The styling feels creative, modern, and evocative, without going over the top. The proposed performance is spectacular. And the Alfa badge speaks to a legacy of romantic motoring. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Pretty Italian car makes big promises and will probably deliver on about three quarters of them. I think that will still be enough for me. JEREMY KORZENIEWSKI: I'm really intrigued by the Giulia. It looks great, sounds awesome, and I'm expecting it to have a load more character than its German rivals. I hope I'm not disappointed. 3rd Place – JAGUAR F-PACE View 15 Photos GREG MIGLIORE: It's the first SUV for Jaguar, and I think they nailed the design, capability, and electronics. It's the right car at the right time.

These are 2014's best-selling cars and trucks

Tue, Jan 6 2015

Now that 2014 is no more than a set of numbers on spreadsheets, at last, the grist mill gets its first real load to chew on. The number one selling vehicle in America last year was the Ford F-Series, a fact that should surprise you only if your family name is Van Winkle and your naps tend to last 38 years, which is how long the Ford pickup has ruled our buying landscape. Even though series sales were down 1.3 percent, it still racked up 753,851 units. That's 2,065.3 sales per day, every day, all year. The Chevrolet Silverado, up 10.3 percent for the year, was still a daylight second at 529,755 units. The cab-and-bed love continued into third place with the Ram 1500-3500 trucks, gaining 23.6-percent year-on-year to clock 439,789 units. The robust turnout at The Bighorn and Jeep helped Fiat-Chrysler increase its sales by 16 percent, past the two-million mark. Our number one car? The Toyota Camry, staying in first place with a 4.9-percent sales boost to 428,606 sales, trailed again by the Honda Accord at number five with 388,374 sales. Accord sales rose six percent, and if it's any consolation to Honda for coming in second - not that it needs one - it is the only manufacturer to have three vehicles in the top ten. The rest of the list: the Nissan Altima with 335,644 sales (+4.7%), the Honda CR-V with 355,019 (+10.2%), the Toyota Corolla/Matrix combo with 339,498 (+5.9%), the Honda Civic with 325,981 (-3.1%), and the Ford Fusion with 306,860 sales (+2.9%). Total sales for the year were up six percent to 16.5 million vehicles, a volume not seen since 2006, aided by a strong December that was up by 11 percent year-on-year. Ford was the top selling brand overall but sales didn't really budge from 2013, while Subaru rocketed up 21 percent to finish with 513,693 sales. At the precious end, BMW, Audi, Porsche and Land Rover all had record years, and Kelley Blue Book thinks we could be looking at 17 million sales for the next two or three years. Looks like it's time to start making hay again...

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla is for Mistresses; Yo, free Smart ED rides!

Tue, Aug 26 2014

Smart used the Yo app to give free test rides to San Franciscans last week. Yo is a free app wherein users tap a username to send a notification that simply says "Yo" to the recipient. Signs at locations in the Mission and SoMa neighborhoods gave instructions to send a Yo to SmartUSA for a free ride anywhere in the city. Three of the eight Smart vehicles used for the promotion were the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. The event allowed people to see how well suited the cars are to the city, particularly when it comes to San Francisco's parking problems. It also saved users the fare of an Uber or Lyft hire.

The cars will go to the school's West Village, a planned zero net energy community, which plans to generate as much energy as it uses within a year. "Innovations like solar power to help generate the electricity needed to charge the EV," says Dan Sperling, founding director of the school's Institute of Transportation Studies, "and fully zero emission car sharing moves us aggressively toward a sustainable future." The addition of the Fit EVs will also give cash-strapped students access to affordable emissions-free driving. Read more in the press release, below. California is one step closer to adding 15,000 new green HOV stickers after a bill was approved by the state Senate. Now the bill must go up before the California State Assembly for approval before it can be signed by Governor Jerry Brown. The bill will raise the total number of the green HOV stickers for plug-in hybrids to 70,000. Raising the cap on the green decals, which allow owners use of the carpool lanes, could encourage more California drivers to buy a PHEV. Read more at Inside EVs. The Tesla Model S made a star appearance on the ABC television show Mistresses. In the episode "Choices," the character Joss receives the car as a gift from her fiance, but is not all too happy about it, seeing it as putting her in a position of dependency. "I could never in a million years afford that Tesla," Joss complains to her friend. "How am I ever supposed to get mad at him when he can hold a Tesla over my head?" The luxury EV makes an on-screen appearance in the episode complete with an interior shot of the car's touchscreen display. See a clip from the episode below or read more at Green Car Reports.
