Description:

Selling my 2006 Civic Si coupe. I am the second owner, purchased it from Sport Honda 11/9/10 with 51,000 miles. Love this car, had an LX before it, very well built and reliable. The Si is lots of fun to drive, the perfect balance of sport and practicality. Plenty of power, the engine will smoothly rev to 8000+ rpm, and will probably be the last of the high revving, naturally aspirated VTEC engines made due to new emissions regulations. Transmission shifts smoothly, close ratio 6 speed gearbox. The factory equipped Torsen LSD greatly improves traction. Very nice interior, good sound system. Lots of room in the front seats, the rear can be cramped for taller passengers. Plenty of trunk space. Capable of 30+ mpg highway, 25 city, I averaged around 28.

Condition:

Car has been very well maintained, well-loved but not abused, and really hasn't had any issues since I've owned it. No accidents. Synthetic oil changed between 5-7k miles. All fluids are up to date, just replaced air filters as well. Accessory belt, idler pulley, and brakes were replaced last summer (Hawk HPS pads, Brembo OE rotors) and clutch was replaced last fall (Exedy OE replacement) The brake work and replacement clutch could easily cost you $2000 to have done at a dealership, so consider that when looking at other cars. Valve clearance has been recently adjusted, I installed new NGK spark plugs this week, and did a compression test at that time, 195-190psi across the board which is excellent. CD player was replaced last year. A/C was also recharged last summer and is working great. Tires are Bridgestone RE970AS replaced about 20,000 miles ago, they do have a good bit of wear but should last at least another year. Cosmetic issues are minor, I tried to get some pics showing examples. No major dents or rust, torn fabric or anything like that.

These are popular tuner cars, for better or worse. The only modification this car has had is a custom tune with Hondata FlashPro. This greatly improves the overall responsiveness of the car by fixing some of the goofy drive-by-wire programming, as well as significantly improving mid-range torque by lowering the VTEC crossover and optimizing fuel/ignition. I can reflash it to the factory programming if you would prefer. Also included with the car is a clear Maryland title, original manual, three keys, trunk tools, spare tire, Honda all season floor mats and original carpet mats,

197 Horsepower DOHC i-VTEC Engine
Close-Ratio 6-Speed Manual Transmission
Helical Limited-Slip Differential
17' Alloy Wheels

Shipping and payment:

$500 deposit required from winning bidder. If you would like to arrange some form of shipping, please contact me. I would really prefer to sell this car in person, and will be happy to let you look the car over before payment. Test drive available to winning bidder, after deposit is made. You must have a valid driver's license and experience driving a manual transmission car. I will accept cash in person. No checks. 

After payment I will sign the title over to you and provide you the lien release so that you may apply for a new title in your name. I will be removing my tags from the car, so if you intend to drive the car home you will have to provide your own.

Note - I have described this car to the best of my ability and have nothing to hide, and would be happy to answer any questions you have. However I am not a dealership, I am not asking a dealership price, and as such I am not offering any sort of warranty. Once I sign over the title, it is your responsibility. If you would like to bring a mechanic or knowledgeable friend/family member with you to inspect the car before agreeing on a deal, I welcome it.

US Congress lets $8,000 hydrogen vehicle tax credit expire

Mon, Dec 22 2014

When Toyota introduced the 2016 Mirai last month in preparation for a launch late next year, it said that the hydrogen car will have a $57,500 MSRP and that there will be a federal tax credit available worth up to $8,000. The problem, as we noted at the time, is that that federal credit was set to expire at the end of 2014. The technical language of the current rule says that someone who buys a fuel cell vehicle, "may claim a credit for the certified amount for a fuel cell vehicle if it is placed in service by the taxpayer after Dec. 31, 2005, and is purchased on or before Dec. 31, 2014." With the 113th Congress now finished up for the year and legislators headed home for the holidays, we know one thing for certain: the federal tax credit for hydrogen vehicles was not updated and will end as we're all singing Auld Lang Syne next week. All of this isn't to say that Mirai buyers won't be able to take $8,000 off the price of the car 12 months from now. For proof of that, we only need to look at other alternative fuel tax incentives and realize that this Congress simply isn't moving fast enough to deal with things that are expiring right now. One of the last things that the 113th Congress did in December was to take up the tax credits that expired at the end of 2013 and renew some of them. Jay Friedland, Plug In America's senior policy advisor, told AutoblogGreen that PIA and other likeminded organizations worked with Congress to extended the electronic vehicle charging station (technically: EVSE) tax credit that was part of the Alternative Refueling Tax Credit in IRS Section 30(C) through the end of 2014. "Individuals can deduct 30 percent of the cost of purchasing and installing an EVSE up to $1,000; businesses, 30 percent up to $30,000," he said. "This tax credit is applied to any system placed into service by 12/31/14 and is retroactive to the beginning of the year. So go out and buy your favorite EV driver an EVSE for the holidays," he said. An electric motorcycle credit was killed at the last minute as Congress was getting ready to leave, but H.R. 5771 did extend the Alternative Fuels Excise Tax Credits for liquefied hydrogen and other alternative fuels. These sorts of tax credit battles happen all year long. In July, Blumenthal introduced the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Infrastructure Act of 2014, which never got out of the Finance Committee. Back to the hydrogen vehicle situation.

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions

Thu, Aug 27 2015

Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.

Honda, SolarCity expand sun-powered partnership with new $50 million fund

Wed, Oct 8 2014

It must be solar-power announcement time. The DOE is ready to throw $25 million at concentrating solar power and New York State just announced $94 million for solar projects. At the broadly green-minded South By Southwest Eco festival in Austin, TX this week, Honda announced an expansion of its work with SolarCity to include a new fund that could finance up to $50 million in solar projects for dealerships and homes. Well, the homes of people who have purchased a Honda or Acura vehicle, at least. Stop us if this all sounds familiar. Honda and SolarCity announced back in early 2013 that they would work together on a $65-million fund to partially subsidize the installation of solar-panels at Honda dealers and on homes of Honda and Acura drivers. The new $50 million will be used to pay for not only the equipment but also the installation, which means that if you can get access to the money, you're looking at a pretty sweet 20-year lease deal to get solar energy for your home and could make it a bit more like the Honda Smart Home in Davis, CA (pictured). How sweet a deal? Well, there's zero down payment required and a 3-kW system starts could cost you just $25 a month, according to the fine print. Rates will vary, for sure, but if that sounds like something you're interested in, check out the Honda SolarCity site. The new fund builds on the previous work that, the two companies say, created enough solar capacity to offset "more than 400 million pounds of CO2 over a 30-year lifecycle." There's more in the press release below. SolarCity and Honda Announce $50 Million Commitment to Provide Solar Power to Honda and Acura Customers and Dealerships SAN MATEO and TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 8, 2014 – Today, at the SXSW Eco conference in Austin, TX, SolarCity® (Nasdaq: SCTY) and Honda have renewed their partnership with a new fund expected to finance $50 million in solar projects. The new commitment will make solar power more affordable and available to Honda and Acura customers and dealerships in the U.S. The companies have completed or initiated a range of solar projects for homeowners, dealerships and corporate facilities that total more than 12.5 MW of solar generation capacity. The two companies have already brought enough solar capacity online to offset more than 400 million pounds of CO2 over a 30-year lifecycle . The $50 million fund is a follow-up to a $65 million fund the companies created in 2013.
