Hi eBay. I'm going to give it to you straight. I'm not a dealer trying to make money off of you or some shady seller on the street trying to peddle some car to you with an unknown history. No stories, no games. Instead, I will give you the full scoop on my car that I am losing money on. This is my 2009 Civic GX Natural Gas Vehicle. I am the second owner and we are planning on a third baby, so I need to get something bigger. It is a factory CNG car, so it gives you access to the HOV lane with a single occupant because it is a low emissions vehicle that in my opinion, is so much better for the environment than a conventional hybrid car. Reason being, this car has no batteries and you don't have to worry about what landfill they show up in. Also, CNG burns so much cleaner than a conventional gasoline car and at the same time, is cheaper (only $1.99 per gallon by me) that it's such a no-brainer to go with CNG power. In SoCal, there are CNG stations everywhere, and while it is rated at 36 MPG, but in reality, I get around 30 MPG combined with traffic in the real world, with the darn 405. The car has been garaged at our house and I keep very good care for it because my wife is a stickler for things being neat. Yes, she is a neat freak. so I have to keep it clean.

Non smokers, no pets, just two kids with a third coming. As you can see in the pictures, we've kept this car in excellent condition.

Going back in time, I bought this to commute to LA from here in Irvine on the 405's HOV lane but I was recently given the news that we are expecting a third child so I need to get something bigger. Also, my boss now has me reporting to the San Diego market for my work as a traveling rep for a marketing company and now, the car gets hardly any use. So, instead of letting it sit, my wife agrees that we should let someone else enjoy it.

Because of the incredibly low miles, it needs nothing. I put a battery in last winter, but other than that, it is exactly as new. Everything is factory perfect, car runs, drives and operates like new with no issues whatsoever. I just paid it off, so I have a free and clear title in my name, with no liens or funny stuff. You will have to transfer the plates and HOV lane access decals to your name, but that's easy. You just have to go to the California DMV site to fill out some forms and you're done.

Sold as is, sale is final. Please email me with any questions that you may have. I will respond quickly. I'm not interested in trades unless it's a rare car that I can tell my wife with a straight face that it's worth more than our Civic GX. Thanks a lot for looking. God bless.

Honda shows us 'The Challenging Spirit of Honda'... in Japanese

Sun, 29 Dec 2013

Just as Porsche has done with its lengthy Le Mans gear-up, Honda is is laying the table for its Formula One return more than a year before we'll actually see it on track. We've heard what it's 2015 engine will sound like, reminisced with the 1988 McLaren Honda MP4/4 and the 1964 Honda RA271 and spoken to the company's CEO about what F1 involvement could do for its production car engines.
The automaker has now released a video called The Challenging Spirit of Honda that traces the development of its in-house F1 program and the jump from motorcycles to the first RA270 F1 chassis in 1962, to the RA272 chassis that won the 1965 Grand Prix. The only catch: the video is in Japanese. However, you can read about the winning car in English, and the video ends with another sound check of the 2015 power unit. That is a universal language, and you'll find it being spoken below.

Is today's Honda Accord cheaper than it was back in 1989?

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

Whether you're shopping at the grocery story or on a car lot, everything seems to be getting more expensive these days. However, when all the factors are considered, that might be more an issue of perception than of fact. The American Public Media radio show Marketplace recently tackled the question whether modern vehicles were actually more expensive once you factored in important variables like inflation and cost of ownership. The result was pretty surprising.
For its example, Marketplace chose the Honda Accord, because in August, it was one of the bestselling vehicles in the US, with 51,075 of them sold. Winding back the clock 25 years to 1989, Honda's cheapest Accord cost $11,770, and that money bought you a stripped-out car with 98 horsepower, a manual gearbox, no air conditioning and hand-crank windows.
Fast-forward to present day, and a basic Accord starts at around $22,000 and gives buyers significantly more features, including a 185-hp engine, dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth, cruise control, more space, refinement and much better safety. By Marketplace's math, when just figuring for inflation, that modern Honda would cost about $11,500 a quarter century ago, despite all of that extra equipment. But that's just one factor. Scroll down to listen to the full report for an explanation of how cost of ownership figures into the mix, and whether it throws all of the calculations off.

April 2014: The ramping-up-for-summer edition

Sat, May 3 2014

Americans appear to be gearing up for further increases in US gas prices, as green-car sales last month had their largest year-over-year gains of 2014. Domestic customers bought almost 56,000 hybrids, plug-ins and diesels in April, marking a 2.6 percent increase from April 2013. Plug-in sales were particularly strong, jumping 41 percent from a year earlier, as sales of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in and Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model S battery-electric vehicles all showed gains. April's big winner among the automakers was Honda, moving 1,442 units of its newer Accord Hybrid And April's big winner among the automakers was...Honda? Yes, Honda, which has long operated in the advanced-powertrain shadow of fellow Japanese automakers Toyota and Nissan, came up big by moving 1,442 units of its newer Accord Hybrid. And while sales of the Civic Hybrid, CR-Z and Insight all fell, the Accord Hybrid drove Honda to boost its green-car sales by 78 percent from a year earlier to 2,839 units. Per usual, Nissan and Tesla also showed year-over-year gains. Nissan boosted Leaf sales by 7.8 percent to 2,088 units. And while Tesla won't release its first-quarter results until May 7, the California-based automaker would've increased Model S sales by 34 percent to 2,300 just by maintaining its fourth-quarter 2013 sales pace. Volkswagen and low-volume advanced-powertrain vehicle makers like Audi, Porsche and Daimler AG's Smart division also fared well in April. VW increased its diesel and Jetta Hybrid sales by 25 percent to 9,583 units. Audi's diesel sales quadrupled to 2,088 units. Smart sold 203 units of its newer Smart ED battery-electric vehicle. Such gains more than offset sales declines from General Motors, Ford and Toyota, though Toyota's April was less painful than previous months. GM's big mild-hybrid sales declines more than offset the 19 percent increase in Chevy Volt sales to 1,548 units and the sales of 491 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel vehicles. All told, GM's green-car sales declined 25 percent to 3,103 units. Fusion Energi Plug-in Hybrid sales doubled and C-Max Energi PHEV sales jumped 28 percent. Ford's green-car sales were down 12 percent to 7,554 vehicles. While Fusion Energi Plug-in Hybrid sales doubled and C-Max Energi PHEV sales jumped 28 percent, Fusion Hybrid sales were little-changed while C-Max Hybrid sales tumbled 50 percent to 1,586 units.
