This car was purchased in Denver by its original owner who then retired to New Mexico. Sadly, he was no longer able to drive, and I bought it from his son in law last year. It has seen only gentle use seeing only 101,00 miles in its first 23 years of life. It replaced another loved vehicle in my collection, and has been driven just slightly more than 7,000 miles this past year. It is a beautiful and peppy car to drive with excellent road holding and very near new style braking. I took my old 911 south to deliver to its new owner and drove this car home from Colorado. It was not as quick but every bit as entertaining in the Black Hills as the Porsche. Ironically, its gear box was a (typical Honda!) huge step better than the 911's 915 style transaxle, and its brakes less prone to lock-up! It was very neutral through the hills and curves.


Now being a bit particular in my vehicles, I have refurbished a number of things and have done the needed services. NONE of these items were critical, but needed updating which I did. I started with the factory hubcaps whose silver finish had faded and was scraped from curb rash. I stripped them down and repainted them, so that they all appear like the one new one that came on the car. Next item was the trim around the windows that had seen its finish crack and peel. I carefully stripped and repainted those pieces- again they are like new from a 10' distance. The tops of both front and rear bumpers had faded to a pink color. There were expected rock chips all over the front of the hood and head light doors- so these were sanded down and refinished with a newer style base coat clear coat which you cannot distinguish from the OE finish, except that the hood, bumpers and front fender tops will no longer need the cleaning and care that the single stage red on the rest of the car demands! There remain some very minor door dents which can be seen when you are very close and look "just right". I had a paintless dent estimate this past summer before the hood and fenders were fixed that came to $800. When polished, there are a few very minor flaws in the red paint, but you have to LOOK for them to see them! A very light polish and buff per year will keep it red and shiny. The interior is like new. There are NO tears, NO odors, and everything is as it should be. The ONLY wear is a very slight scuff/unraveling of the driver side factory floor mat next to the "dead" pedal. Again you have to look for this to see it. The rest of the carpet/floor mats appear to be like new. The dash is intact with NO cracks or color variance. The sunroof and head liner is clean and with no flaws.All the windows including the sunroof work like new. The factory AM FM Cassette is included in this sale and works fine, but has been replaced by a Pioneer CD AM FM unit with a professional grade wire harness plug. It of course also works like new. All the speakers are factory and have no issues. The electric antenna and mirrors work as new also.


The service Items I have replaced include a total timing belt, water pump, and serpentine belt service. The anti-freeze is also new. EVERYTHING was cleaned while this was apart, so the engine compartment appears like new. During this summer, it developed a leak in the radiator at the header tank/ radiator junction, so the radiator was replaced with a new one. It now no longer leaves a most un Honda-like puddle when driven! After a quick run to a meeting this fall, it likewise developed a power steering fluid overflowing problem. Further diagnosis told us that there was a problem with its reservoir and the pump itself. The reservoir
is no longer available, but could be (and was) cleaned thoroughly. A new power steering pump was installed along with new return lines, and of course new fluid was part of that deal. The rest of this car's maintenance was routine- sparks plugs, wires, cap, rotor; valves were adjusted, and all filters- air and fuel were replaced. The previous owner had just installed a new Honda battery, so that is also good to go. In search of a random squeal from the front end some noise was isolated to the left front hub bearing, so that was replaced. The brakes have at least 50% wear left and its clutch bites well and smoothly. The tires are excellent and appropriately speed rated. Its warm compression readings done this summer at 104,360 miles were 1) 155, 2) 150, 3)150 and 4) 160. As you might expect this car starts with no drama and uses no oil. This car is a nice clean driver that should give its next owner many years of fun driving. It is for sale because I need to put together some money for a retirement house.

Honda ending CR-Z, Insight sales in Europe

Fri, Feb 21 2014

Death by diesel? That may be the epitaph of the Honda Insight and CR-Z in Europe, where the Japanese automaker will discontinue sales of the two hybrid models before to the 2015 model-year. A Honda spokesman confirmed the discontinuation to Automotive News, and information on those models has been taken off of Honda's official websites in Germany, Spain and Italy. The European embrace of all things diesel and fuel efficient as well as competition from Toyota are the primary culprits. The cancellation is not a surprise. Insight sales in Europe fell a whopping 62 percent last year while CR-Z sales there plunged 66 percent. Combined, both models sold less than 2,000 units in Europe last year, Automotive News says, citing JATO Dynamics. Honda is having trouble moving the Jazz Hybrid (also known as the Fit) in Europe as well. European sales declined about 40 percent last year to around 4,500 units. Those numbers compare rather unfavorably to a 43 percent surge in Toyota's hybrid sales in Europe to about 153,000 units. The Insight may face the same fate in the US. Last year, US Insight sales fell 18 percent to 4,802 units, a small, small challenge to the more than 234,000 Toyota Prius variants sold in the US in 2013. Honda has not made an official statement on the Insight's fate here, but the sales are speaking for themselves.
