Please note, this vehicle is being sold AS-IS. The mileage in the photo (177,801) is the actual mileage as of today (4/20/2014), but I will be driving this car in-town until it is sold.


I am selling my 1995 Honda Civic EX which has 177,801 miles on the engine and still runs great. This car has automatic transmission and an automatic sunroof. The exterior is black and the interior is gray. I bought this car in 2008 and it has been my daily driver ever since. It has been a very sturdy vehicle and I have never had to do any serious repairs on it.

The car starts without problem. I did not have any issues starting it through the cold winter. This would be the perfect car for somebody who is looking for something cheap and reliable, but it does have some minor issues. Please see below for details.


Issues:

  • Engine has leaked oil for several years. I check the levels frequently and refill every month or so. The issue has been consistent and has not increased. I do not know what the cause is, and I have had no other issues with the engine.
  • A hole has started to rot through under the carpet on the driver's side. See picture to get an idea of how big it is. It would be a good idea to replace the floorboard.
  • There is a slight alignment issue; if you hold the steering wheel completely straight the car veers slightly to the right. 
  • The ABS light comes on, though I have not had any issues with the brakes.
  • The air conditioning blows warm.
  • The driver's side window does not roll down. It occasionally shifts down by itself so the window is open about an inch. I always push it back up with my hands.
  • The rear door on the passenger's side does not open from the outside.
  • There are a few small cigarette burns on the backseat and a few under the floormat on the driver's side. This car has not been smoked in for over two years, so I do not believe there to be any smoke smell.
  • The carpet has some burns and stains. There are spots where the carpet is worn and discolored.
  • There are no rear speakers.
  • There is some rust on the outside, and the paint is in poor condition. See pictures for details.


Repairs:

  • Muffler replaced last year
  • Brake Master Cylinder replaced about 3 years ago

  • The hood latch is broken. My mechanic rigged it to open from the outside - there is a small latch near the hood that opens it.

Honda recalling small number of Accord, CR-V models

Thu, Mar 12 2015

This latest recall may not be a very big one, but it does strike us as an important one. Issued by Honda, the recall affects the 2014-15 Accord (specifically those equipped with the four-cylinder engine) and the 2015 CR-V, but only 137 of them. Those 137 vehicles, however, will need to have their short blocks replaced. What is a short block, you ask? Nope, it's not a chopped-down version of a big block: it's the engine block itself plus all its internal components, but short of any appendages that make it run. (That'd be a long block.) The problem, according to the manufacturer's statement below, stems from bolts – specifically the connecting rod bolt – that may have been improperly torqued during assembly. There's a system that's supposed to check that, but Honda reports that it "may not have identified improperly torqued bolts in a specific group of engines." Hence the recall. Owners of those few vehicles affected can expect to hear from the manufacturer to arrange bringing their vehicle into their local dealership to have the engine replaced, free of charge. Statement by American Honda Regarding Connecting Rod Bolt Recall: 2014-2015 Honda Accord 4-cylinder; 2015 Honda CR-V Mar 9, 2015 - TORRANCE, Calif. - 137 model-year 2014-15 Accord 4-cylinder and 2015 CR-V vehicles affected in the U.S. - Engine short block will be replaced in affected vehicles, free of charge - No related crashes or injuries have been reported Honda will voluntarily recall 137 model-year 2014-2015 Accord 4-cylinder and 2015 CR-V vehicles in the United States to replace the engine short block, free of charge. During engine assembly, an automated system that verifies engine connecting rod bolt torque may not have identified improperly torqued bolts in a specific group of engines. An improperly torqued connecting rod bolt could come loose, leading to potential engine damage and stalling, which could contribute to a crash. No crashes or injuries have been reported related to this issue, which was discovered through a warranty claim review process. Honda is announcing this recall to encourage all owners of affected vehicles to take them to an authorized dealer as soon as they receive notification of this recall from Honda. Mailed notification to customers will begin in late-March. In addition, owners of these vehicles can determine if their vehicles require repair by going to www.recalls.honda.com or by calling (800) 999-1009, and selecting option 4.

Boston woman's car finally free from 100 inches of snow

Thu, Mar 19 2015

It's a car owner's worst winter nightmare: Snowfall so heavy that you can't dig your vehicle out of it. That's exactly what happened to Jillian Tenen, whose 2007 Honda Civic was buried in the snow in Boston for seven weeks after historic winter storms. Tenen's car was initially stuck after a snowfall in late January, but she didn't dig it out because she had the flu. "I'm 5' 2," and it was all ice, an iceberg on top of my car," she told the Boston Globe. "I couldn't reach it. I couldn't lift it. And even if I could, there was nowhere to put it. I just didn't know what to do," she said. Tenen reached out for help to the city, her insurance company and a tow truck company, but they refused to help her. Finally when the weather warmed up, Tenen used an ice chopper to get into her car. The windshield was damaged, however, the car started on its own. "If I had to do it again, I would definitely do one thing differently... I would not park on the corner," Tenen said.

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.
