Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas, United States

2001 Honda Prelude, last year model made, non-SH version (all wheel steering), 5 speed manual transmission, sunroof, rear spoiler, recently replaced and upgraded H23A "blue top" VTEC engine.  Original black interior in fantastic shape for its age, minimal signs of wear and absolutely no abuse (tears, rips, stains, etc.) and the exterior is the super-rare and desirable "pearl white" color.  

Here is the background and current status of the car:
Bought for my teenage son approximately 2 years ago.  He drove it until approximately 8 months ago when the original H22A4 VTEC motor let go.  We decided to install a H23A "blue top" VTEC engine.  Ran great, but threw a rod well after the 90 day warranty had already expired.  Wife and I decided to "upgrade" and put him into something newer to head off to college.  Therefore, we are now selling the car as it sits...with the blown motor.

AC blows ice cold and everything on the car works (minus the engine, as described above).  New clutch, brake pads and rotors (all 4 corners), and tires (again, all 4) were replaced within the last 5-7k miles.  Aftermarket CD radio with AUX input installed, original OEM CD player is also included.  Literally, upon the installation of a new motor, Buyer should have a fully functioning, last-year made, well taken care of Prelude for a fraction of the price.

Please see the provided pictures as to the general condition of the car.  If additional information or pictures are requested, please contact me as I will be glad to provide same via email.

Terms:  
$500 deposit via PayPal is required within 24 hours of winning bid/offer.  Balance is due within 5 days from end of auction.  Car is sold "as is, where is" with no warranty, either express or implied.  No returns as all bids and final sale are legally binding.  By placing a bid, Buyer acknowledges car is currently in non-running condition and accepts sole responsibility for any/all transportation, towing, and like expenses.  Seller will gladly assist in that regard however possible.  

Good luck and thanks for looking.  Cheers.

Honda Civic Tourer Concept shows the shape of European things to come [w/video]

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Honda will be expanding its European Civic range this year, and our first glimpse at the shape of things to come arrives in the form of this Tourer Concept at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. According to Honda, this swoopy concept provides a look at the upcoming Civic Tourer production model, which is set to be revealed in Frankfurt this September.
The Tourer Concept very obviously builds on the design groundwork set by the latest Civic hatchback when it first debuted in 2011. That means there are sharp, angular elements found up front and a sloping roofline that rakes down at the rear. Combine that with the large, concept-spec wheels and the funky front lighting elements, and what we have here is a really attractive little wagon - something that will no doubt battle the new Toyota Auris Touring Sports and Volkswagen Golf Variant that are also making their debut here in Switzerland.
It goes without saying, but don't expect to see this Euro Civic show up in the United States anytime soon. After all, we have the "there, I fixed it" 2013 sedan and coupe to keep us happy. Scroll down for all of the wagony details, including a video.

2015 Honda Fit production gets underway in Mexico

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

After two years of construction, Honda's new factory in Celaya, Mexico, has officially begun production of the all-new 2015 Fit in North America. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and Honda President and CEO Takanobu Ito both attended the opening and watched the first Fit roll off the line at the $800-million plant. Later this year, Honda will add production of its new Vezel small crossover to the new facility, though the latter is expected to be marketed in North America under a new name.
The Celaya factory will specialize in building subcompact cars by employing cutting-edge tech to use less material and less energy during production. Honda is still constructing a $470-million transmission plant on the campus to build continuously variable transmissions in the second half of 2015. When it's finished, it is expected to have an annual capacity of 200,000 vehicles and employ 3,200 people.
With the facility's completion, Honda now has a 1.92-million unit annual production capacity in North America, and it claims that when Celaya reaches full production, 95-percent of vehicles sold in the US will be built in North America. The new Fit has already proven quite popular in Japan, and now we will have to wait and see if North American buyers embrace it as well. The first new Fit customer cars will hit the roads later this spring, and as Honda spokesman Steve Kinkade tells Autoblog, all Fit models sold in North American will be built at the plant. Scroll down to read the full press release about the Fit and its new Mexican home.

New Land Rover Defender aces Euro crash tests

Wed, Dec 9 2020

While the 2020 Land Rover Defender has not yet been crash-test by U.S. safety agencies such as NHTSA or IIHS, we do now have results for Europe's NCAP crash tests and accident-avoidance tests, where the Defender earned the top rating of five stars. The Defender model used for NCAP testing was the 110 variant with right-hand drive. The NCAP regimen includes several different crash tests: an offset front crash test into a moveable barrier with both the vehicle and the barrier traveling at 50 km/hr (31 mph), a front crash test into a full-width fixed barrier at 50 km/hr (31 mph), a side-impact crash test with a barrier traveling at 60 km/hr (37 mph) hitting the driver's door, and a side-impact test where the car strikes a pole at 32 km/hr (20 mph). The Defender's scores for the adult occupant and for a child occupant were both 85%. Additionally, the agency looks at the severity of injuries of the vehicle striking a pedestrian, taking data for a pedestrian's head hitting the hood, and their upper and lower leg being hit by the front of the vehicle. There is also testing of the vehicle's automatic emergency braking system's ability to avoiding hitting a pedestrian and a cyclist under various scenarios. The efficacy of active-safety systems for avoiding collisions with other vehicles is also tested. The Defender's score for protecting pedestrians and cyclists was 71%. The driver assists scored 79%. Results for several European-market cars were released together with those for the Defender, the most noteworthy of which was for the Honda E. The electric city car fared less well than the big Land Rover, garnering a score of four stars overall. In the same battery of test, the Honda E scored 76% for adult occupant protection, 82% for a child occupant, 62% for protecting pedestrians and cyclists, and 65% for its driver assists.
