Good day and my sincerest thanks for looking at my CRX!

The CRX Si for sale is a very clean example, the cleanest I've ever seen.  64,XXX original miles, original engine, parts, interior, seats, panels, sunroof, etc. The color is Milano Red.  High quality job that I had a hard time distinguishing from an original paint job when I purchased it, but after some close inspection and finding some evidence of some overspray, the finding was that it had indeed been repainted.  

STILL one of the cleanest CRX's on the market.  As my co-worker put it, "It looks like someone just put it in storage for 20 years and you just pulled it out yesteday."  It looks that good.  OEM mint exhaust with NO RUST on the tips like most.  Crispy seats with zero tears.  Buttons and AC panel sparkle without a single scratch or imperfection.  The plastic window that guards the speedometer is shiny, scratch free and of course original.  Rear cargo area 100% complete with completely functional locking storage compartment, all clips and covers present, clean and functional too.  Original VIN sticker as well as the OEM color code stickers for both the interior and exterior are located correctly on their respective door jams.  The doors and interior door panels are free from ANY imperfection, in fact the fuzzy part where it says "CRX" looks brand new.  This car has been meticulously well kept. The engine bay sparkles, email me for the link to the pics of it.  Professional tint all around.  Fully functional sunroof, lights, seatbelt lights, startup beeps, glovebox.  This car is a genuine time capsule, perfect for a meticulous person like myself to continue to treasure.

The history of this CRX to the furthest of my knowledge:

-was purchased in Washington, DC new in December of 1991
-was relocated with the owner to Southern Nevada in the early 00s
-stayed there until a sale to an enthusiast in Florida in 2012/13, by which point the car had been repainted
-at this point it appeared on "Bring a Trailer" (I cant provide a link due to ebays new policies, just google it)
-then traded in to Morrison Motor Co in North Carolina
-then purchased by an enthusiast from this company in July 2013 who relocated it to Los Angeles
-then purchased by myself in August of 2013

Included with the car is the original manual, radio card, warranty information, and sales book.  One original key and one copy is included.

CLEAN TITLE ON HAND.  The previous short-term owners never transferred the title in their own names.  Therefore it's going to cost me $630 according to my appointment at the CA DMV to title the car in my name.  I have yet to do this because I've been out of work recently and won't be able to afford to title this until the sale of this car.  Therefore, at the time of purchase, I will present the original title along with all the other necessary paperwork and provide copies of them as well, but I will need the originals to complete the titling process.  We will complete the Bill of Sale in compliance of law and once our transaction is complete I will use $630 from the sale and complete the titling process.  According to the lady from the DMV I spoke with, it will take about 1 month from that point to receive the title in my name at which point I will sign over and send to you.  I have copies of all the invoices and applications verified on 7/9/2014 by the CA DMV and will email them to you upon your request.  This obstacle is also the reason for the most recent and final price drop. It has all been verified however by the dmv as completely doable.

Drives like it came off the production floor yesterday.  The car's mechanical workings are flawless.  Drives straight as an arrow. Shifts smoothly (you can shift with one finger easily), idles perfectly and soundly.  Starts perfectly everytime without hesitation, though theres a loose part somewhere in the engine bay that causes a rattle only when the car first starts.  Purely cosmetic and I'm working on trying to silence it.  Another funny little squeak comes from one of the passenger side wheels, I believe it's a ball bearing needing replacement? Sunroof, all lights, features, speakers, dials, manual controls like the windows work perfectly.  Windshield wipers work perfectly along with every other feature. AC blows ice cold.  My friend commented yesterday how cold it was.

There isnt a single dent or ding anywhere on the cars body.  Highest quality body you will find on the market.  The blacks of the moldings are very well cared for and have been treated with anti-aging products.  

Has the car been in an accident?

The fact that the car has been repainted, the radiator may/may not have been replaced and that the front bumper is missing the OEM "made in Japan" sticker, the signs indicate that the car was involved with some sort of front-end fender bender.  It is unknown to me how severe a collision was, but it was clearly repaired with much care, OEM materials and has no residual performance effect.  Other than this, the passenger side front quarter panel is slightly mis-shapen where it meets the passenger door (so slight it's impossible to capture in pics) that leads me to believe that a ding or small dent was corrected.  But repeat, it's so slight, youd have to look at if for hours before you'd notice it.

If the car doesn't sell for a price I'd like, I'd have no problem keeping it.  

The front headlight bulbs and rear tails lights have been replaced with sylvannia white bulbs.  The interior lights have been replaced with white LEDs.  The sounds system has been upgraded to an Alpine one in all four speakers and the Alpine interface producing high quality sound.  When it was installed by the previous owner he took great care to not drill any holes or alter the set up of the original wiring. Includes Sirius XM. Also compatible with Pandora, USB, AUX, HD radio and Bluetooth.  Stock radio included.

The interior is unbelievably mint.  Grains on all the plastic is like new.  No wear on any buttons, the original white paint on all the buttons is unworn and beautiful.  Original shift knob, seats, everything.  Smells like new.  No floor mats, however, are included.

Falken tires with only about 7k miles of use on them.  

The clean title is on hand.  Please keep in mind that it is a Nevada title, not a California title as it has yet to be registered under any owner's name since its Nevada owner in early 2013.  

I realize that there are a lot of CRX enthusiasts out there that are eager to discuss the specifics and correct any statements made and I completely understand that.  What I won't understand or tolerate is being attacked or insulted with your messages/calls which has indeed been my experience over the past few weeks.  It is not my intention to mislead or misinform to anyone.  I want the buyer of this CRX to make an informed decision and to be 100% happy with their new car.  This doesn't give any prospective buyer any cause to insult me. 

Payment due 3 days of BIN use.  SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY PLEASE.  The dude who used the BIN feature just used it and never paid, emailed, nothing. Please don't put me through that again.

I will cooperate fully with the shipping company if you use one, otherwise the shipping is your responsibility.

Please email me for a link to 60+ pics of this gem

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.

Honda profit targets tumble in wake of Takata scandal

Fri, Jan 30 2015

Takata's massive airbag inflator recall will likely do some damage to Honda's bottom line this year, according to the Japanese automaker's latest forecasts. The company will allocate 50 billion yen ($425 million) to fulfill costs related to the safety campaigns, Reuters indicates. The decision will reduce estimated operating profit by about 6.5 percent to 720 billion yen ($6.1 billion US) for the fiscal year ending March 31. In addition to lower profits, Honda also cut back its sales estimate for the year to 4.45 million vehicles from the previous 4.62 million, according to Reuters. This was largely due to lower-than-expected demand in Japan. "We are not seeing a big impact on sales in North America from the airbag issue," company vice president Tetsuo Iwamura (pictured above) told Reuters. The decreased forecasts come at the same time as the possibility of another death in a Honda vehicle from the Takata parts. According to Automotive News, a man in Florida died in a crash in his 2002 Accord, but investigators have not yet determined whether the inflator was the cause. However, the vehicle was included in a 2011 recall for the part and was not repaired. The family intends to file a lawsuit alleging the inflator ruptured, spraying metal shrapnel into the driver's neck. Reportedly, the owner was never notified of the recall. While the Takata inflator recall is affecting many companies with alleged links to at least five deaths and 139 injuries worldwide, Honda has it among the worst. Including vehicles covered under the previous regional repair campaign for the issue, the automaker needs to repair roughly 5.4 million vehicles just in the US. Honda has taken action by employing suppliers other than Takata to supply some of its replacement parts for the recall. The business is also reportedly switching airbag suppliers for the next-gen Accord and possibly the 2016 CR-V and Odyssey.
