You are looking at a used 2001 Honda Prelude Base with 5 speed manual transmission and 62,583 original miles. This one-owner vehicle has been garage kept in Dallas, TX its entire life. This vehicle has never been in a collision, nor has it ever experienced a fender bender. The body has no dents, rust, deep scratches, etc. The engine, suspension, body, paint and interior have never been modified from the original stock configuration. The vehicle have never been raced, ragged out, off-roaded or otherwise abused. It was driven its entire life by an adult, married male who was 31 years old when the vehicle was new, and had driven manual transmission vehicles since age 16. White appearance on door trims is from suntan lotion rubbing on the trim from bare arms and legs.

Maintenance status:
All four tires were replaced in July 2013, and have less than 500 miles on them. New battery in late 2013. The owner changed the engine oil regularly. In the last 10,000 miles it has needed a half-quart between changes (see Bruises and blemishes, below). It was taken to a professional Asian-vehicle-capable mechanic for all other mechanical work. The clutch slave cylinder failed and was replaced at around 32,000 miles. The AC is cold and has never needed to have been serviced since the vehicle was new. Clutch, timing belt and brakes are all original.

Keys:
The vehicle has had an two-way aftermarket Astra alarm/remote keyless entry system installed in it, but the two original remote keyless entry key fobs are included. A single one-way alarm key fob (missing the keyring but functional) and a single two-way alarm key fob are included. Both original main keys, the original valet key and the original reprogramming key are included.

Documentation:
The original owners manuals are included. No formal maintenance records are included.

Bruises and blemishes:
The paint has light scratches and dings from bike rack and doors in parking lots, and small dings on nose from highway travel. The stock stereo no longer plays CDs. The oil pan gasket area is damp and results in an average of a single drop of oil per month on the garage floor. Front undercarriage guard has taken some hits from parking lot curbs and bottoming out on steep entry aprons -- this is almost unavoidable on a vehicle with such a low ride height.

Additional information regarding odometer history report:
No, I did not put 105,000+ miles on this vehicle in the 12 months between my state inspections in 2004 and 2005. The tech must have typed the value wrong when he input it. I never noticed it, as I never pulled a "CarFax" on this vehicle while I owned it. It should have been 29,746 at the 2005 inspection. If you believe me, bid with confidence. If you do not, I'll understand -- please do not bid in that case.

Additional Information on Bidding:
This vehicle is subject to local sale and may be withdrawn at any time. In any event, it will not be listed on eBay again after this auction. If you are watching it and are interested, please place your bid. If you are planning to wait until auction end to snipe it, it may not be there. I do have a firm local offer in hand right now.

Next Honda Civic to get 1.5L turbo

Fri, Mar 13 2015

The low-displacement, turbocharged engine is all the rage these days throughout the auto industry, whether considering the 1.0-liter, three-cylinder EcoBoost from Ford or even Ferrari opting for a downsized turbo V8 in the latest 488 GTB. It looks like Honda might be the next one to follow this trend, and it could happen as soon as the next-gen Civic. "Downsized turbocharging will be the base, even for the Civic," Honda Research and Development boss Yoshiharu Yamamoto said to Automotive News. That included the US, he indicated. "Quite a bit will switch over to turbo, but there will still be some naturally aspirated ones remaining." The engine reportedly is a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder that offers better fuel economy, lower emissions and the power of a naturally aspirated mill of between 2.0- and 2.4-liters, according to AN. Since the current Civic gets 143 horsepower from its 1.8-liter four that suggests a healthy power bump for the future model. Making the news even more tantalizing, the new Civic with the 1.5-liter turbo could be revealed before the end of the year, according to Automotive News. Honda already confirmed a $340 million investment into its Anna, Ohio, plant to build the engines later this year. Honda first mentioned a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in 2013 along with the 2.0-liter turbo now in the Civic Type R in Europe. At the time, the brand said these engines would appear in "a number of future global models." The HR-V in the US was also previously rumored to use the same powerplant.

2017 Honda Civic Coupe spotted for the first time

Mon, Mar 30 2015

Rumors about the next-generation Honda Civic have been coming fast and furious in recent weeks. The speculation suggests the future model will use a new 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and some European body styles will come across the Atlantic. There's even the potential for an overhaul of the CR-Z on the same platform. Now, we've got a glimpse at what the next Civic looks like in coupe and sedan form. Our spies believe that under all that black diaper is the 2017 Civic Coupe, but it's hard to discern any details. With an open section on top it's even difficult to get a good idea of the roofline, though some of the photos suggest a fastback-style rear. The examples concealed in white are believed to be the future Civic Sedan, and one of them is exposed enough to get a good idea of its shape. In profile the look is reminiscent of the current Accord, which is good, if conservative. Seeing the two versions together provides few hints about the coupe's styling, other than a shared wheelbase between both cars. The apparent door handle cutout on the driver's side of the coupe is likely a camouflage trick to hide any information about the length or shape of the doors. One recent rumor suggests that the next-gen Civic's styling could be fully unveiled towards the end of 2015. Until then, click through the gallery of spy shots, and let us know in Comments what you think of this design direction. Related Video:

'Tornado' at Rose Bowl Fan Fest wreaks havoc on Honda display

Fri, Jan 2 2015

California's been host to some oddball weather for the past few years - particularly oddball, even for California, that is. An example of which struck again during the Honda Fan Fest at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on New Year's Eve. A robust dust devil – labeled a "tornado" by the anonymous videographer Â– planted itself among the stands and then rolled across the lawn, twirling several vendor stands and an inflatable tent around in the air, seemingly damaging some new Honda and Acura models that were on display where some attendees had sought refuge. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt, but four people were treated for injuries - probably including the committed Fan Fest worker who tried to grab a flying canopy and got spun around and thrown to the ground. Which is kinda the way Oregon treated Florida State. We had to watch it twice, because the first time, we couldn't take our eyes off the cow. Check out the chaos in the video above.
