Getting sick and tired of the up and down ridiculous gas prices??  With the price of gas skyrocketing yet again, there's no better time to buy an alternative fuel vehicle.  Here is your chance to own a hard to find 2000 Honda Civic GX CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) sedan.  Save big $$$ with natural gas, while helping clean up the environment.  This is a factory CNG package, NOT an aftermarket retrofit.  Dedicated CNG system, NOT bifuel.  This was an expensive factory option. Does NOT run on gasoline, only CNG.

I am a CSA certified CNG cylinder inspector.  I have been dealing in CNG vehicles for 7+ years.  All cylinders are inspected for damage in accordance with 3yr/36,000 mile guidelines so bid with confidence.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions as I am always happy to assist.  631-871-3459 (Seth). 

CNG Specs:

Compressed Natural Gas Tank Capacity: Approximately 8 US Gallons Gasoline Equivalent(GGE) @3600 psi 70 degrees F (21 degrees C). Average CNG range approx 200-240 miles.  Expiration date 02/2015

·  This hard to find 2000 Honda Civic GX Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Sedan.  Equipped with the reliable and highly efficient 1.6L VTEC SOHC engine and automatic transmission.  This is a one owner fleet maintained former gov't vehicle.  BEWARE of people selling vehicles with untested/unfilled CNG systems.  This vehicle has been filled and test driven 30+ miles.  This car is super economical to drive with CNG priced under $1.00 a gal in many areas.  State tax credit still available (Utah and other states that offer tax credits).   

 

What is CNG???

Compressed Natural Gas or CNG, is one of nature's best untapped energy sources.  Unlike fossil fuels, it is constantly produced by the earth and can also me synthesized through chemical processes.  Cyber_lot. The technology has been around for decades but until recently has been kept in the closet by big oil!  It is one of the fastest growing alernative fuel sources and unlike biodiesel and ethanol (E85), is a viable replacement for pertroleum.  Within the next 10 years 90% of gov't fleets will be CNG and civilian population will follow over the next 20 yrs.

Why should I buy a CNG/Bi Fuel Vehicle?

  • SAVE MONEY!  CNG is about 1/3 less than reguar unleaded and more stable in price.  AS LOW AS 99 CENTS PER GAL IN SOME AREAS! 
  • CNG burns with practically no emissions compared to petroleum fuel so each mile you drive helps the environment....THINK GREEN
  • CNG is safer (less volatile) than gasoline as it has a higher ignition temp, 1200 deg vs 800 deg.
  • CNG poses little if any environment risk of contamination and in the event of an accident where tanks are breached, it evaporates into the air with no spill Cyber_lot
  • CNG fill stations are growing more and more each day.  Check the links below for fill station locations across the US.
  • You can fill up at home using a Phil Fuelmaker device if you have a natural gas line.  No more trips to the gas station.  Tax deductible. 
  • Most states allow you to drive solo in the HOV lane.
  • CNG is not corrosive like gasoline and wears MUCH easier on a motor.  Most CNG fueled engines require oil changes less frequently and sparkplugs last almost forever.  Overall engine life is usually significantly extended.  Cyber_lot 
  • Unlike hybird electic/gas cars, there are no costly batteries ($6000) to replace
  • Unlike hybird electric vehicles, the CNG drivetrain is the same as the gasoline counterpart and can be serviced by most mechanics.  Cyber_lot.  Only the CNG fuel system requires specially trained service technicians.
  • There may be tax credits/deducations available for CNG vehicle owners and for the purchase of a Phil Fuelmaker (check with IRS and state tax authorities)
  • Be the first person in your town to sport a CNG ride.  Almost always a conversation starter when you open the trunk!

 

Condition

Drivetrain

Engine starts right up and runs smooth and strong.  Only 41k miles.  NO knocks, NO smoke, NO dripping leaks. Transmission shifts into and through all gears smoothly as it should.  Has even acceleration and cruises at highway speed.  The 1.6L VTEC is one of the most durable and efficient engines Honda produced and should easily last 500K+ miles with proper maintenance.  This was a maintained vehicle with regular dealer/fleet servicing. 

Exterior     

Paint has most of its shine and glistens in the sun as you can see.  No major/large dents or rot on the body.  The rear bumper has marks and guages.  There are minor blemishes such as chips, dings, and scratches around the body.  There is a soft slight crease mark on the driver front door(see pic).  There is a soft small dent on the corner of the hood and top edge of the front passenger door.  Aside from the minor blemishes, the body is overall straight as you can see.  Please keep in mind this is not a showroom new but in fair condition for the year. 

Interior

Interior is in good condition with minimal wear.  Seats and floor are not ripped or shredded.  No tears in seats.  Dashboard is NOT cracked or faded.  Inside is fresh and clean.

Wheels and Tires

·  Tires have approx 50%+ tread remaining.  Full set of Honda factory alloy rims.

CNG System

I have fueled up with CNG with no problems.  No evidence of any leaks. Everything looks to be in order and system holds pressure as it should.

I have test driven this vehicle over 30 miles and it should have no problem going anywhere.  I do advise that long distance buyers use a transport service to move vehicle rather than drive due to the availability of CNG stations in some states.  As I recommend to all my customers, you should have your mechanic look over any newly purchased vehicle before extensive use.  I have tried to list as many details about this vehicle as I can, including known defects.  There may be deficiencies that I am not aware of so buyers are encouraged to inspect in person.  This was previously a fleet/lease vehicle and may have greater wear and tear than private vehicles.  Vehicle is otherwise sold as-is and where is with no warranty express of implied.  If you are local I encourage and welcome you to come down and test drive the car for yourself or have an independent inspection completed PRIOR to bidding.  I am happy to answer any questions so feel free to e-mail me or call.  There will be no price adjustments or cancellation of sale for failure to do so.    

·  Payment Details

A non-refundable deposit in the amount of $500.00 must be made via PayPal within 24 hrs of auction's close.  Balance to be paid within 3 days via certified/cashier's check from a verifiable institution with local branches only, US postal money order preferred(no other's will be accepted due to counterfeit MO's going around), or cash (in person only, DO NOT mail cash).  A document fee of $150.00 will be added to the winning bid price.  If you require documents to be mailed please add $20 to final price for overnight service.   Item must be picked up within 10 days of auction's close unless you make other arrangements with me.  If not, buyer agrees to pay $20/day storage.  Sorry but I can not have vehicles sitting here for weeks or months.  IF DEPOSIT IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 24 HRS OR PAYMENT IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 3 DAYS, VEHICLE WILL BE RELISTED OR SOLD TO NEXT BIDDER.  Cyber_lot.

Shipping

Shipping is at the expense and responsibility of the winning bidder.  If you require shipping, I am happy to assist.  Shipping for vehicles is approximately $900-1000 for west coast, $500-600 for southeast, $800-1000 for southwest, and $800 for midwest.  These rates represent average prices and may change with fuel costs.  Vehicle is located in Long Island, NY, 11713.  Cyber_lot.  If you wish to fly and drive, I can pick you up at the area airport (Long Island Macarthur, ISP) or the train station (LIRR-Ronkonkoma).    

Legal Info

Please only bid if you have the funds available and intend to complete the transaction.  Ebay is a great place and you guys are wonderful but the occasional fraudulent bidder ruins it for everyone.  Non-paying bidders will be reported to eBay as well as the appropriate authorities as interfering in interstate commerce is a federal offense.  If you have negative feedback please contact me if you wish to bid or your bid(s) will be canceled.  By bidding, you agree to all the terms of this auction.  Item is sold as-is where-is with no warranty or guarantee.  If you are local, feel free to come and inspect the vehicle in person.  Cyber_lot.  I have tried to describe this item as best I can but I am not responsible for any incorrect information regarding specs, condition, undetected problems, etc.  I am happy to answer any and every question so please e-mail prior to bidding as all sales are final.  I reserve the right to end auction early as vehicle is for sale locally.

United States drivers buying fewer Mexican-made cars

Tue, May 10 2016

Crossovers and pickup trucks are not only growing in market share, they're also more profitable than cars. A crossover on the same platform as a sedan retails for thousands more, despite similar components. It's one of the reasons we've seen automakers rapidly shifting production of their sedans and hatchbacks to Mexico, where cheap labor preserves the thin profit margins on these inexpensive vehicles. But as the market continues to shift in the United States, Mexico is getting burned by its lack of product diversity. The country's auto exports, which are heavy on cars, suffered a 16-percent drop last month, Automotive News reports. In total, year-over-year exports fell from 233,515 to 197,020 last month, while year-to-date exports are down by 7.4 percent, from 922,029 to 854,118. The number one culprit? America – which usually accounts for 75 percent of Mexico's exports – and its appetite for crossovers and pickup trucks bolstered by cheap gas prices. While Mexico does build some light truck models – AN specifically calls out the Ram 2500, Honda HR-V, GMC Sierra, and Toyota Tacoma as export leaders – the vast majority of vehicles rolling out of its factories are sedans and hatchbacks. In fact, the three biggest drops in Mexican exports came from companies whose south of the border factories only build cars – Ford (Fusion/Lincoln MKZ and Fiesta), Mazda (Mazda3), and Volkswagen (Golf and Jetta). Mexican Automotive Industry Association President Eduardo Solis told AN the export shortfall will likely be sorted out sooner rather than later, thanks to a pair of new factories – a Kia car factory and an Audi SUV plant – that are coming online by year's end. The two facilities will add around 100,000 vehicles to the country's export totals, which Solis said should leave the industry on the verge of breaking another export record in 2016. But how sustainable will these record-breaking years be? Slapping an "Hecho en Mexico" sticker on a new German SUV won't be enough to change the fact that Mexico's product mix is tilted too heavily towards body styles that are not growing in volume. Mexico's record-breaking export years probably aren't at an end, but we'd argue they're certainly under threat.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014



Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.

2014 Honda Civic Coupe

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Honda lifted the covers off its refreshed Civic Coupe at SEMA earlier this month, showing off its updated styling and redesigned 18-inch wheels, but didn't unveil its interior or mechanical upgrades until today at the LA Auto Show. Eager to show off its latest arrival, Honda allowed me to check out and drive the new coupe a few weeks ago.
The interior, which was hidden beneath heavily tinted glass at SEMA, features new colors, upgraded seating materials and new technology. The interior themes are now more color coordinated and feature upgraded Tricot soft weave. Black is the standard interior color, with a choice of black or gray seats. A new display audio system is also found on the EX/EX-L trims. The seven-inch capacitive-touch screen, with a matte finish to reduce the annoyance of greasy fingerprint marks, allows users to not only tap once for a function, but to double-tap, slide, flick and pinch - as if they are using a familiar smartphone or tablet. The new infotainment interface not only accepts USB and Bluetooth data exchange, but has also been configured with HDMI for future upgrades. Some of you may have also noticed the exterior mirrors on the SEMA car, as they were fitted with cameras for Honda's blind spot minimizing Lanewatch system. It is now offered on the Civic Coupe for EX trims and above.
Mechanically, the new Civic Coupe rides on an upgraded suspension system that features revised spring rates (front up by four percent, rear up by three percent), a stiffer rear stabilizer (up by 25 percent) and larger 16-inch wheels (wearing 205/55R16 tires). The engineering objective was to improve handling and responsiveness while flattening cornering. According to Honda, the tweaks should give the Civic Coupe better linear steering feel than either the Hyundai Elantra or the Ford Focus.
