2000 Honda S2000 Bought From Professional Car Guru, 150k, Great Shape on 2040-cars
Landenberg, Pennsylvania, United States
I have been a serious motorcycle rider for the past five years - had eleven bikes, training from the top US school, spent thousands of hours and dollars at it. Had accident, said to myself, enough. Thought to treat myself to a sports car. Considered a few - S2000, Miata, Mini Cooper among others. Research of many forums, user groups, web sites, friends who had them all, dealers I know, 100% said to get the S2000. Without exception. Startling response. Never had such a one-sided response ever. Found a great car nearby from a terrific honest young guy who owns custom car businesses, fabricates carbon fiber body parts, builds cars from scratch, has a couple S2000s. He got this one from his buddy who owns tow lots. Car had been towed. Wealthy owner let it set. His buddy put in what money, repairs, upgrades would be of value. Owner still unresponding. Buddies went through expensive process to get new title and take possession. My title thus says "formerly abandoned." My seller bought it from him, replaced and went through everything as the below text says. I loved him and the car, took it home. Long story short, the car may be not a fit for my back nor my wife's so after less than two weeks, out it goes. Bought it 11/18/13. With permission I copy and insert my seller's ad text and photos. I completely reserve the right and prerogative to change my mind and keep it or to sell it locally off ebay. I own two other ebay accounts that at the moment have 8679 100% positive feedbacks in the past half year so I would consider myself a pretty safe seller. Please feel free to ask me any questions. To find a buyer and a car like this is a rare treat. I didn't want to hurt his feelings because I was selling it, and he had treated me great. He was very kind about it all. This parenthetical story may be of no value to you but to me it shows the context of this car and its value to me.
"This is a 4 owner car with a clean title. The car is in very good condition. The body is in great shape. The paint looks new and is the original Honda paint job. There is a crack on the corner of the rear bumper and three small scratches on the body. The interior is in incredible shape for the age and mileage on the car. There is normal wear on the driver seat. The top is original and was well maintained. No leaks or tears in top. Car was recently serviced on 9/11/13 and inspected. I had the entire car looked over for anything that would possibly break at later date and everything was solid. All of the owners of this car really took care of it. Here is a list of parts and services I had performed on the vehicle to make sure it was in excellent condition for whoever buys the car: Clutch master cylinder replaced W/ OEM Honda parts Battery replaced W/ OEM Honda battery Exhaust replaced W/ OEM Honda exhaust Coil pack replaced W/ OEM Honda part oil change and top off all fluids 4 new Yokohama tires. This car has all original Honda Genuine parts on it. Nothing was replaced with aftermarket replacement parts. Upgrades: Elbrus lightweight aluminum wheels Injen Cold Air Intake Alpine Cd Player w/ USB and Aux port for smart phones and Pandora control Bluetooth Hands-free calling Bluetooth Audio - smartphone automatically syncs with radio when car is started and starts playing you music stored on your phone ***The stereo sounds incredible even with the top down*** I love this car and really don't want to part with it, but I am making a career change and need to let it go. I have put a good amount of money into this car to make sure it is in perfect running condition so the new owner doesn't need to worry about anything." |

NHTSA gives okay for three automakers to skirt tire-related recalls
Thu, 25 Jul 2013BMW, Honda, and Mercedes-Benz are all going to avoid small recalls, after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued petitions for "findings of inconsequential noncompliance" to the three manufacturers, according to Tire Business. Basically, the petitions allow the brands to avoid recalls for some very, very minor issues.
BMW had tire placards on 364 X6 M CUVs that stated the car could only handle four passengers, when in reality it had room for three in the back. Actual plausibility of fitting three real humans in the slope-roofed Bimmer aside, the Munich-based manufacturer argued it was inconsequential, as the placards were correct regardless of the number of passengers.
Honda's case focused on 212 2011 and 2012 Acura TSX sedans equipped with 18-inch wheels. The TPMS systems on these cars were set for 17-inch wheels, rather than the larger hoops, but even with the lower settings, the tires maintain adequate load capacity.
Honda rolls out new N-Box Slash kei car in Japan
Tue, Dec 2 2014Honda may not compete with the likes of the expanding Fiat 500 and contracting Mini families in the North American or European markets, but back home in Japan it has a whole series of retro hatchbacks, grouped together as part of its N series. And now there is one more. Called the N-Box Slash (or N/ for short), the boxy but stylish new hatch is built to fit into Japan's rigid Kei car class, which means a tiny footprint no longer than 11 feet long and five feet wide. That makes it even smaller than the already-diminutive Smart Forfour or Renault Twingo, but into that compact form, Honda has fit five doors and four seats under a tall roof. In fact those front seats even fold flat and flush with the rear ones to make for as big a bed as you could possibly fit inside its compact dimensions. Technical details remain scarce, but power likely comes from the same 600cc three-cylinder engine - turbocharged or not, driving the front wheels or all four - as the rest of the N series, which already includes the N-One, N-Box, N-Box+ and N-WGN. Feel free to read the original Japanese or Google-translated press releases below, just don't expect it or any of its stablemates to show up in a North American showroom any time soon. 2014.11.27 ???????N-BOX SLASH(?????? ?????)?????????????

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
