2005 Honda Civic 1.7 Engine 4 Cylinder Automatic Transmission Commuter 05 Vp Ex on 2040-cars
Littlerock, California, United States
|
YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. THIS IS THE "VP" VERSION, AND COMES WITH A 1.7 LITER (4 - CYL) FRONT WHEEL DRIVE ENGINE, AND AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE CAR GETS OVER 30 MILES TO THE GALLON, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THE CAR DOES NOT RUN DUE TO WHAT I BELIEVE IS A BLOWN TRANSMISSION. ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT HAS SEVERAL MILES ON IT ..., I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER, BUT IT IS OVER 220,000 ..., AND IT WAS RUNNING FINE UP UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO, WHEN THE TRANNY STARTED SLIPPING, AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MAKE IT HOME, BUT IT WILL ONLY GO INTO ONE GEAR (FORWARD) AND REVERSE ..., BUT IT ONLY MOVES LIKE ONE MILE AN HOUR. AT THE MOMENT, IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A LITTLE WHILE, SO THE BATTERY IS DEAD, AND I TRIED TO JUMP START IT THE OTHER DAY, AND ALL I COULD DO WAS GET IT TO CRANK ..., BUT IT WOULD NOT FIRE. DON'T KNOW IF MAYBE THE BATTERY IS TOO DEAD, OR WHAT IT MAY BE (I DIDN'T MAKE TO BIG OF AN EFFORT TO GET IT GOING, I JUST WANTED TO TRY TO GET IT TO START FOR THE WINNER) . I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER ..., BUT UNFORTUNATELY LET MY TEENAGE SON DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE, SO IT GOT SLIGHTLY MORE ABUSED THAT I HAD HOPED FOR. 95% OF THE MILES DRIVEN ON THIS CAR WERE FREEWAY COMMUTER MILES, AND I WAS VERY GENTLE WITH THE CAR. ANY ABUSE CAME FROM MY SON, AND HE ONLY DROVE IT FOR A FEW MONTHS. ANYHOW ..., ASIDE FROM THE TRANNY NOT WORKING ..., IT HAS A FEW OTHER ISSUES, WHICH I WILL DO MY BEST TO POINT OUT. FIRST OFF, THERE IS A RATHER LARGE SCRAP DOWN THE PASSENGER SIDE ..., NOT TOO GIGANTIC, BUT DEFINITELY OBVIOUS. THERE ARE A COUPLE OTHER DENTS IN VARIOUS PLACES AROUND THE CAR ..., AGAIN, NOTHING GROSSLY OVERWHELMING, JUST MINOR DENTS. THE MIRROR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS KNOCKED OFF, AND GLUED BACK ON (THE GLASS FOR IT IS IN THE CENTER CONSOLE). A COUPLE OF THE PLASTIC PIECES INSIDE THE CAR CAME OFF (LIKE INSIDE THE DOOR HANLE (PIECES ARE IN THE CENTER CONSOLE AS WELL). THE HOOD LATCH LEVER ON THE INSIDE IS BROKEN OFF, BUT CAN EASILY BE GRABBED WITH TINY HANDS, OR A PAIR OF PLIERS. THE WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED. THERE IS A STEREO/ CD PLAYER AND SPEAKERS THROUGHOUT THE CAR, , BUT THE SPEAKERS ARE DISCONNECTED. THE PAINT ON THE REAR SPOILER IS FADED AND NEEDS TO BE REPAINTED. PLEASE SEE PICTURES FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE. PLEASE NOTE: WHERE THE CAR IS LOCATED, I DON'T GET TO IT MUCH, SO I DID MY BEST TO TAKE PICTURES WHEN I WAS THERE ..., BUT UNFORTUANTELY THE SUN WAS GOING DOWN, SO THEY DON'T DO THE CAR THE JUSTICE IT DESERVES. INITIAL SHOTS WERE AS THE SUN WAS FADING, AND THE REMAINDER OF THE SHOTS WERE TAKEN WITH A FLASH, IN THE DARK ..., SO PLEASE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, AND IF YOU NEED SOME BETTER SHOTS, JUST LET ME KNOW, AND I'LL TRY TO GO OUT THERE BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS AND TAKE SOME MORE. OVERALL, THE INTERIOR IS IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE. SEATS HAVE BEEN COVERED WITH SEAT COVERS THEIR WHOLE LIFE TILL JUST RECENTLY, AS WELL AS THE FLOOR HAS BEEN COVERED WITH MATS. EVERYTHING ON THE CAR IS ORIGINAL, EXCEPT FOR THE SPOILER, AND WHEELS. THE TIRES ARE ALMOST NEW ..., MAYBE A FEW HUNDRED MILES ON THEM. ALL THE LIGHTS, BUTTONS, KNOBS, AND SWITCHES WORK AS THEY SHOULD. AIR CONDITIONING WORKS GREAT. HEATER WORKS FABULOUS. CAR HAD AN ALARM SYSTEM BUT REMOVED CUZ IT WAS ACTING FUNNY (LOCATED IN CENTER CONSOLE IF YOU WANT IT, AND HOOKS UP UNDER DASH, BELOW STEERING WHEEL). STEREO WORKED PHENOMINAL, BUT MY SON TOOK THE AMPS AND WOOFERS OUT FOR HIS OTHER CAR. STEREO AND CAR SPEAKERS ARE STILL INTACT, THE SPEAKERS JUST NEED TO BE HOOKED UP AGAIN. THERE IS A REMOTE FOR THE STEREO IN THE GLOVE BOX. CAR HAS MINI SPARE IN TRUNK AND A FULL SIZE SPARE, THAT I CAN SEND WITH THE WINNER IF THEY WANT IT. THE TRUNK HAS A WOOD FLOOR HATCH DESIGNED IN IT, BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL SET UP WAS SILLY AND DID NOT ALLOW FOR THE WOOFERS TO BE MOUNTED PROPERLY. THIS WOODEN ATTACHMENT IS ACTUALLY A NICE FEATURE (NOT A NEGATIVE THING AT ALL). THE OVERALL PAINT IS A BLACK WITH BLUE AND PURPLE SPECS IN THE PAINT, THAT ORIGINALLY HAD A GREAT LOOK TO IT, ESPECIALLY IN THE SUN. OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE SOME DENTS AND DINGS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED IN ORDER TO GET IT PERFECT AGAIN ..., BUT OVERALL THIS CAR CAN BE A GREAT CAR WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF MECHANICAL REAPAIRS ..., AND THE DENTS AND SCRATCHES DO NOT IMPAIR THE CAR IN ANY WAY FROM BEING DRIVEN, NOR DO THEY EVEN LOOK THAT BAD, SO YOU CAN PROBABLY JUST LEAVE THE PAINT ALONE ..., FIX THE TRANNY, AND OFF YOU GO. THE CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS AND DOES NOT COME WITH ANY WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES OF ANY KIND. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OR WISH TO COME AND SEE THE CAR BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS, PLEASE CONTACT ME THRU E-MAIL AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO ACCOMADATE WHATEVER YOUR REQUEST MAY BE. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A LOCAL PICK UP ONLY AND ANY SHIPPING ARRANGEMNET FOR THIS VEHICLE MUST BE HANDLED SOLEY BY THE BUYER. THE VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN THE CITY OF LITTLEROCK CA, WHICH IS ABOUT SIXTY MILES NORTH OF LOS ANGELES. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU ..., THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST ..., AND HAPPY BIDDING. P.S. THE CAR IS LISTED LOCALLY AS WELL, SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY IF REQUIRED. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY ON A NON-OP REGISTRATION, AND THE TAGS ON THE CAR READ: JULY 2013. IT NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM PASSING SMOG, IT JUST SEEMED SENSELESS TO LEAVE IT REGISTERED WHILE IT WAS BROKEN. THE TITLE IS CLEAR AND IN HAND ..., AND THE ONLY OTHER ISSUE IS THAT THE PLATES ON THE CAR ARE PERSONLIZED AND THEY WILL NOT BE SOLD WITH THE CAR ..., JUST AN FYI. |

Honda finds new Green Path to reduce CO2 emissions
Fri, Sep 25 2015In the wake of the Volkswagen diesel scandal, it's impossible to hear an automaker talk about its overall environmental efforts and not think to yourself, "for real?" Still, we're willing to listen. And Honda representatives gave it their best shot yesterday in Marysville, OH as they introduced a small group of journalist to the company's expanded initiative aimed at cutting CO2 emissions and the total life-cycle environmental impact of Honda products. Called Green Path, the initiative now includes a $210-million expansion at Honda's Marysville, OH manufacturing plant to install a better, cleaner paint shop. Speaking at the facility yesterday, Honda representatives said that the plant room is not only better for the environment (it uses limestone dust instead of water to capture paint particles, for example, reducing water usage by about 2 million gallons annually. Overall, the new paint shop will have 60 percent less VOC emissions and reduce CO2 emissions by 18 percent), it also makes the cars look better. That's whey the two-step temperature curing process will initially only be used on Acuras to differentiate them from the competition. Honda will fire up trials in late 2017. There's more to Green Path than the new paint show, of course. The company wants to reduce - in some cases eliminate - what it calls substances of concern (SOCs), things like lead and mercury. There are also new wind turbines in Ohio to supply power to Honda plants, the Environmental Leadership Program for independent dealerships to make their own green moves, and swapping out fluorescent light bulbs for LEDs, among other efforts. In the Marysville Auto Plant, for example, the Assembly department has over 10,000 task light bulbs. The fluorescent ones used to need to be replaced every three years, but the new LEDs have a life span of 16 years. Honda says that calculating up the impact of all of these little changes will remove an average of 3.822 kilograms of CO2 from the production tally of each car it makes. The company's stated goal is to reduce its total greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent (compared to 2000 levels) by 2050. You can find out more in Honda's press release and video, below.

Honda MC-? will use solar-powered chargers in 'micro' EV tests
Mon, Feb 3 2014Honda is envisioning what it calls a CO2-free society and, not surprisingly, it's a rather sunny one, in one Japanese city, at least. The Japanese automaker is kicking off a test program with the micro-electric-vehicle that will use power generated via photovoltaic energy collected and stored at EV charging stations. Yes, the big old sun will power those little-bitty MC-? cars. MC-? is shorthand for "Micro Computer Beta" and the car is certainly an appropriate vehicle for these tests. The car is 98 inches long (about eight inches shorter than a Smart ForTwo) and has a 43-mile-per-hour top speed as well as an electric motor that delivers a meager eight horsepower. The car is designed to meet Europe's quadricycle regulations and has a 50-mile single-charge range. No word on if or when it'll go into production, of course, but Honda and Toshiba are working with Japan's Miyakojima City on the project, with Toshiba responsible for building three solar-powered EV-charging stations. The Japanese automaker unveiled the latest incarnation of the 1+1 tandem-seating-arrangement MC-? last fall. You can see our "Quick Spin" impressions of the model here and read Honda's press release below. Honda Begins Experimental Test-driving of MC-? Micro-sized EV Using Renewable Energy TOKYO, Japan, January 28, 2014 - Jointly with Miyakojima City and Toshiba Corporation, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. began experimental test-driving of the MC-?, Honda's micro-sized EV, using photovoltaic (PV) energy as part of the Miyakojima City Small-sized Electromotive Mobility Project*1. Through this experimental program, Honda will operate an environmentally-responsible micro-sized EV using renewable energy, and work together with the local community to explore the possibility of a CO2-free society. In November 2013, Honda began separate field tests jointly conducted with Kumamoto Prefecture, Saitama City and Miyakojima City using the MC-?. For the field tests in Miyakojima City, as a part of the initiative as an environmentally-responsible model city, the feasibility of the introduction and utilization of small-sized electromotive mobility products and electricity supply facilities are being verified. For this particular driving experiment in the city using renewable energy, the MC-? will be charged from three new PV recharging stations newly built by Toshiba.
Acura ILX headed for Civic-like early upgrades
Wed, 12 Dec 2012The not-yet-ready-for-primetime 2012 Honda Civic saw it quickly returned to sender for refurbishment, now the Acura ILX is headed in the same direction in its very first year. Automotive News reports that the small, Civic-based sedan from Honda's luxury brand isn't meeting sales expectations, with an annualized rate of 22,000 to 24,000 sales instead of the 30,000 the company is after. More telling is that the ILX "is being outsold by the Buick Verano, Volkswagen CC and Audi A4," and, except for two months since it launched, it has also been outdone by the Acura TSX it is meant to replace.
Part of the cause has been the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine: its 150 horsepower to motivate a sedan that can weigh up to 2,970 pounds doesn't offer the kind of performance or value experience that buyers in the segment respond to. Another big issue is that the top-level 2.4-liter engine is only offered with a six-speed manual even though most buyers of the highest trim don't really want to shift their own gears. Lastly, the ILX might not put enough space between it and its frugal underpinnings - our first drive review pegged it as "the world's nicest Honda Civic."
An automatic transmission is on the way for the 2.4-liter, but it isn't clear when. And while Honda admits that the 2.0-liter is underpowered and Automotive News says it's on the way out, the company hasn't yet said how that situation will be corrected.
