Here’s a 1997 Honda Prelude (Base) 5-speed that I purchased on (5/6/10) from a local car auction here in North Carolina.  The car was issued a salvage title due to the fact that the insurance company said it would cost more to fix it, rather then the car was worth.  Below are the actual pictures taken when I purchased the car on (5/6/10) along with its current condition.  The car currently has 182,885 miles which is the same mileage when I purchased it.  My original plans were to rebuild the car from the ground up, and that’s the reason why I haven’t driven it. 

As you can see from the pictures I’ve either fixed or replaced what was originally broken with new parts.  The original engine that came with the car is in great shape.  It runs and drives because I’ve pulled it out of my garage from time to time to work on it.  I would advise the winner to have the car towed to not damage the car because it’s been sitting for over three years.  Know issues that need to be addressed (paint job, change gas, change brake fluid, change transmission fluid, and trunk latch needs to be adjusted).   

Everything you see in the pictures will be included with the car.  Please note that EBay limits ads to 24 pictures (so some items are not shown in the pictures, but will be included in the sale).  Below is list of what’s included.  The car, extra H22A engine, two turbochargers, two intercoolers, and etc. are to be sold as is.  Winner is responsible for all shipping charges.  Local pick up preferred.  Forms of payment accepted (Paypal or certified U.S. bank issued cashiers check).  Note: **Denotes new parts that I already installed, or in original box waiting to be installed.  There is No Reserve! Happy bidding.

I would like to sell the car, but I would entertain a trade of comparable value. There are well over $11,000 in car and parts. The list of cars I would trade for must be fully functional (I.e. Run, Start, Drive) with no significant issues... Here's the list of what I would possibly trade for: Audi A4 1.8t/2.0t, Dodge SRT-4, Mitsubishi VR-4, BMW Z-3, Mini Cooper S, Mazda RX8, Toyota MR-2 (Last Generation Made), Honda S2000, BMW 3 Series (00-newer), Saab 9-2x, Miata (99 or newer), VW Golf GTi (00-Newer), Mitsubishi Evolution, Acura RSX, Audi TT, Saturn Sky, Pontiac Solstice, Chrysler Crossfire, Porsche Boxster, or Corvette (98-newer).

There are no liens on this vehicle.  I currently have the title in hand...  Ready to sign over to the new owner.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Honda Civic Type R Concept to hatch in Geneva

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

As if the Geneva Motor Show isn't exciting enough, now we have word that a new version of a certain iconic Japanese hot hatch will make an appearance there in a few weeks time. Honda has announced that its Civic Type R Concept will be revealed during the show's media days, which take place March 4 and 5.
Since this is Honda we're talking about, we should point out that the "Concept" part of the Civic Type R's name is usually a bit of a misnomer. For the past few years, the Japanese automaker has made a habit of attaching "Concept" to the end of several near-production models in the name of drumming up auto show excitement (see Exhibits A, B, C, D and E). So really, this is almost certainly the next Civic Type R, a car we've kind of already driven.
The latter car was a "development" model, but we aren't expecting a lot to change between it and the production model. As previously reported, a 2.0-liter, turbocharged engine should deliver north of 280 horsepower to the front wheels via a six-speed gearbox. Have a look up top at the sole image of the hot Civic released by Honda, and then scroll down for the official press release.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014



Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
