Tuscaloosa, Alabama, United States

In short, this van has been very good to me the entire time I have owned it. It's given me well over 100,000 miles with little more than oil changes and tires over 8 years. It's still running like a top, but I am now a single Dad with a 120-mile daily commute, and with a second car, I don't need it anymore.

Purchased used from private seller in 2006 with 110k miles.

Current KBB value in "Fair" condition $2400-2700.

Overall in good condition for the mileage - Newly rebuilt AAMCO transmission at about 195k miles (These cars were known by Honda to break trannys around 130-150k) and this one missed an official Honda recall repair by 6 months). A/C Front and rear works very well - people get cold in Alabama in August if not set below 'full-blast'. Electric windows have very good motor life. Paint in very good condition, absolutely no rust. Tires with 70-80% life left. Sony aftermarket stereo with CD, MP3 playback and Aux 1/8" jack plus 30-pin connector allowing stereo iPhone/iPod controls/display on unit. Cruise (on steering wheel) works very well although new stereo made wheel audio controls disabled. Every light works including visors. Electric mirrors working. Rear wiper and washer working well. Front and rear 12v outlets good. Has original temporary spare tire (used exactly once), jack and all associated tools, all headrests and original cargo net for rear. Does not burn oil in any way I've noticed. Oil changed consistently with documentation.

Van has been driven very little (less than 5000 miles) in the last 36 months due to unemployment. I recently got a job far from home, and a much smaller car to match.

Recent professional rear brake job (3/2014) with documentation.

Exceptions to "Everything's great!":

Passenger electric (rear) door has bad electrical contacts - can be opened/closed manually but I have not used the electric function in about a year. The passenger washer nozzle is missing - I replaced the tubing to both but that nozzle fell off before I got to the repair. Airdam in front has been loose at corners for over 80k miles and has caused no issue at all. "Check engine" (meaning oxygen sensor is bad) light has been on since I bought the car (120000 miles ago) with no obvious effect - O2 sensor is a $100 repair if you felt like doing it and did it yourself.

If you pull a CarFax report, you will find a total of one incident/accident in 14 years and all the miles - it happened with the prior owner and is described by CarFax as "cosmetic" (or maybe "very minor"). Regardless, I've driven it more than 100,000 miles since and never noticed any sort of issue of any kind that could have resulted from any accident.

Delivery possible within 100 miles for extra fee; test drives/viewing only possible in Tuscaloosa, AL

Honda to field this awesome Civic Tourer wagon in BTCC next season

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

We all know that the letters BTCC stand for British Touring Car Championship. But one of those Cs might as well stand for Civic, so dominant has the Honda team been in one of the most competitive tin-top racing series in the world. Honda has taken the manufacturers' and teams' titles in the BTCC for the past four years running, and the championship-winning drivers for the past three years have claimed the prize behind the wheel of a Civic. While that might have proven enough for any other manufacturer, Honda is returning again next season to defend its dominant position, and has just revealed the new car with which it intends to do so.
Next year Honda will be back on the grid with another Civic, only this time it's based on the new Euro-spec Civic Tourer. That will make Honda the only team in the BTCC (and one of only a few worldwide) fielding a wagon-based racing car. In announcing the new BTCC-spec Civic Tourer, the Honda Yuasa Racing team only released this one photo and didn't reveal much in the way of details, but team manager Peter Crolla indicated that "the weight, wheelbase, layout and suspension remain the same" as the hatchback which it will replace, only with a longer roofline.
Testing of the new touring wagon will commence in January before returning champions Gordon Shedden and Matt Neal will pilot the new Civic Tourer in the season opener at Brands Hatch in the UK in late March. It remains to be seen what car Andrew Jordan (who took the title this year in another Civic with the Pirtek Racing team) will be driving next season, but in the meantime, you can check out the full press release below for more.

Honda unveils new 3.5-liter racing engine

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

Honda is following Ford's lead and debuting the second twin-turbocharged V6 to be used by Daytona Prototypes in the United Sports Car Championship. The wait won't be long to see it on track because the new engine will debut with the Starworks Motorsport team in a Riley Gen3 prototype chassis at the 12 Hours of Sebring from March 12-15.
The new HR35TT engine is based on Honda's J35 production V6 found in a variety of its models, including the current Accord. The racing version benefits from dry sump lubrication, but is still similar to the production version with an aluminum block, direct injection and single overhead camshafts. It is fueled by 100-octane E10 fuel, but like many racing engines, exact power figures have not been released.
Starworks has had a close relationship with Honda since it won the LMP2 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2012 with a Honda Performance Development ARX-03b chassis and Honda engine. We can't wait to see this new mill hit the track, and see how it fairs against Chip Ganassi Racing's EcoBoost-powered Riley. Scroll down to read the press release for the full details.

Honda opening first new motherland plant in almost 50 years

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Despite opening dozens of overseas plants in the past several decades in locations all over the globe, Honda Motor Co. has not expanded its car manufacturing capabilities in its home market of Japan since opening a facility in Sayama back in 1964.
But all of that is set to change this July when Honda opens the doors to a new assembly plant in Yorii, about two hours north of Tokyo. According to Bloomberg, the new facility has a projected annual capacity of 250,000 vehicles. The plant is part of the automaker's reorganization efforts, plans that include scaling back its older Sayama plant and bringing Yorii online with more efficient and innovative technology. There are additional benefits, too, as the Yorii plant is expected to create 3,800 jobs, both on-site and at its suppliers, and boost the local economy as other businesses ramp up to accommodate the influx of new workers.
While the automaker has not released specifics about which models will be produced at Yorii, Honda is expected to consolidate production of models including the Fit, a best-seller in its domestic market.
