Here is a Silver 1998 Honda CRV LX – All-wheel drive - that has about 171,600 miles on it.

I am the original owner and this car has served us well over the years. Over its life it has been a family hauler, commuter car, drivers-ed car (for my son), and most recently a drive-around town car for the said son. It is still driven daily. Good gas mileage (25mpg). Has been great in rain and snow.

Options on these CRVs were very limited. Included in this car are;

Automatic transmission
Roof rack
Includes everything else that came standard with the vehicle (floorboard/table, jack, manual, alarm, etc)

This car has proven to be very reliable and is very much ‘original’. It has a current NJ inspection sticker. Paint is good, minor flaking on the back door. Black plastic outside trim is fading. The interior of the car is in good condition – no tears, cracks, or tears in the dash or seats. Has always been part of a non-smoking household. The carpeting could use a real good wash – but nothing really objectionable.

Recent (all in the past few years) repairs/maintenance includes;

New distributor, plugs, ignition wires
New catalytic converter
Replaced battery (this past winter)
Good tires (all four tires replaced at around 140,000)
Oil change

Known issues;

Front end is a bit loose – reflecting still has the original struts
Power door locks can sometimes cycle locked/unlocked when drivers side door is locked
Clock does not work
Radio can be a bit temperamental
A few dings, dents, and scratches (nothing bad – see pictures)
Spare tire is very old – would not rely on it
The dashboard light for the emergency brake remains lit (even when disengaged) during cold weather. Must be a sticking switch- no issue in warm weather or when car heats up
Beginnings of rusting on some panels (see photos) mainly a few spots on hood and back right quarter panel

No one will confuse this car with a new one. But it has been very well maintained, runs strong, burns no oil, and still looks good given its age/mileage. I have done my best to accurately describe this car, feel free to ask any thing else you would like to know or if more photos are need. Car is located in Moorestown NJ.

Honda pulling plug on slow-selling Insight hybrid

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Insight hasn't amounted to even a tenth of Prius sales, and well over half of those sold were JDM.
It's been a rough ride for the Honda Insight, and now its journey appears to be at an end - word is that the five-door hybrid hatchback is going out of production.

Honda CR-V named Motor Trend SUV of the Year for 2015

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Motor Trend has announced the results of its 2015 SUV of the Year competition, and from a field that included the new Porsche Macan, Cadillac Escalade, Subaru Outback, Chevrolet Suburban and BMW X5, the buff book has awarded the gold calipers to the 2015 Honda CR-V. If that result surprises you just a little, well, get to the back of the line.
MT looked at six different categories ranging from overall design to efficiency - both fuel economy and carbon footprint - to safety and value to pick its winner, singling out the refreshed Honda while paying particular praise to its new 2.4-liter Earth Dreams four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission. A tighter steering ratio was also cited as a big source of improvement.
"There was a lot of contentious debate," MT Technical Director Frank Markus told Autoblog, indicating that nearly half the judges approached the final round of voting with an eye towards the redesigned Jeep Cherokee. "This year's field included some pretty fancy and fast iron, but the thoughtful changes made by Honda to hone its best-seller entry in that crowded compact cross-over segment really did the trick."

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
