You are looking at my 1990 Honda CRX SI Hatchback, Red color, that I acquired in the fall of 2007. It had 75K miles when I bought it and now has 172K. It has never been in an accident. The engine runs strong and smooth. The car gets excellent gas mileage around 36-38 mpg average. The car has VIN # JHMED9367LS010434.

This car will be sold as is and I will describe as accurately as possible all known issues or concerns. The winning bidder is responsible for pickup, shipping, or delivery of the car.

This has been a very reliable, fuel efficient, and zippy car to drive around in. It does not have A/C but has a sun roof and plenty of ventilation. A/C was never initially installed but could be installed by a competent mechanic. This car has been used for my work commute car and has mostly highway miles.  I am only selling because I’ve decided to invest in a new car.

There are no engine or car issues other than what is described below.  

Car Maintenance since I’ve owned:

-       Oil changes with synthetic oil and High efficiency oil filter every 6K miles.

-       Engine tune-up (spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor) every 30K miles.

-       Manual transmission oil changed every 40K miles.

-       2 new front CEV front shaft axle shafts at 132K miles.

-       Front left ball joint replaced at 132K miles.

-       Wheel alignment checked and adjusted every 40K miles.

-       New clutch and timing belt replaced around 100K miles.

-       Replace the Fuel and air filter replaced every 30K miles.

-       New alternator / and belt, and battery replaced in the last year.

-       Coolant flush every 30K miles.

-       New exhaust pipe / muffler at 168K miles.

-       New catalytic converter and center pipes at 130K miles.

-       New Brake pads replaced in last year.

-       New Sumitomo tires installed at 120K Miles.

-       New starter at 164K miles.

-       New battery at 163K miles.

-       New alternator and belt at 134K miles.

 

The car does have some flaws:

-       There is surface rust around the wheel wells and on top to the sun roof. I did apply some JB Weld on top of the sun roof and around the wheel wells, and covered with red paint to prevent the rust from spreading any further. You can see the bubbly surface on the sunroof. Any reputable body shop could easily fix these areas.

-       The oil pan drain hole threads are slighting stripped so I have had to apply JB weld around the oil pan bolt to prevent a small leak following each oil change. The JB weld can be easily chipped away for removal of the pan plug and oil change.

-       The driver seat cloth is ripped on the upper left side. I remedied this by applying black duct tape. Of course car seat covers would be better, or a seamstress could repair.

-       The rear windshield washer sprayer does not work.

-       On occasion when shifting into 2nd gear to quickly, there is some slight grinding heard. I had discovered this when I 1st purchased the car. A reputed mechanic told me this would never get any worse, and to this day it hasn’t. If you ease into 2nd gear gently, this will not occur.

-       There is a slight dent in right rear panel (see pic).

-       On hot days when the car is sitting too long, the accelerator (gas pedal) needs to be depressed for 30 seconds, and then the engine can be started. I think this may be a sensor issue? Otherwise, the engine always starts smoothly.

-       There is a slight scratch in the front windshield driver side.  (see pic)

-       There is a small cut / rip in the vinyl on the driver’s door side. (see pic)

-       The Hood opening latch inside the car has to be held in open position so that the front hood can be popped open. I accomplish this by putting a wrench or 12” piece of wood to hold the latch in open position.

-         

 

The CRX SI original owner’s manual also comes with the car. The winning bidder is responsible for pickup or shipping.

This is what Honda's new F1 engine will sound like

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

It appears that not even the legendary pairing of McLaren and Honda can produce a 2015-regulation Formula One engine that sounds as good as the current V8s. Much like Mercedes-AMG Petronas, McLaren Honda have released a clip of their turbocharged, 1.6-liter V6 ahead of next season, and well, at least to our ears, it's not the sweetest of singers.
We've reported on concerns that the new engines wouldn't sound "right," after years of the high-revving V8s and V10s. The more we're hearing of these new engines, the more reasonable those worries seem. That said, we'll need to wait until we really hear these cars driven in anger to render a final verdict.
Scroll down to view the official press release from Honda and to hear what the future McLaren Honda will sound like when it hits the grid in 2015. For comparison, we've also included some on-board footage of Jenson Button's McLaren's V8 from last season.

Honda boss says Chinese drivers don't want green cars

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

According to The Wall Street Journal, Honda CEO Takanobu Ito believes that China's nascent car-buying demographic isn't all that interested in hybrid cars - at least not yet. The emissions story doesn't resonate with them, and certainly not for the higher purchase premium such models usually carry. What they really want, Ito believes, is reliable, affordable cars that fit their needs. When it comes to Honda sales, the numbers would appear to jibe with his thoughts: Honda sold 598,577 vehicles in China last year through its two joint ventures, yet just 542 of them were hybrids - not even a tenth of a percent. However, Toyota sold 840,500 cars in China last year, and two percent of that total, 17,300 units, were hybrids, which is closer to the still-piddling three-percent ratio of sales that Toyota posted in the US last year.
Honda offers the Insight, Fit Hybrid and CR-Z in China and plans to make components for its Integrated Motor Assist hybrid system there from next year, the hope being it will reduce the cost of hybrid cars for local buyers. That was one part of the plan Honda laid out last year to popularize its IMA system in China. Other initiatives include the introduction of a new hybrid system for mid-sized and large vehicles and a plug-in hybrid. Among the four new vehicles Honda showed during this weekend's press day for the Shanghai Motor Show (including the Concept M minivan pictured above) there was not a single hybrid among them.

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013

Sun, 15 Sep 2013

When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
