One owner (me!).  I bought it brand new.
Title in Hand  (no loans or banks to mess with - I only need to sign the title over).
Major maintenance at the dealer.
This has been an extremely reliable vehicle that has given great service.  I am selling because my father in law "gave" me his bass boat when they downsized after retirement and the CRV can't tow it.  Otherwise I'd keep it.  

General Condition
- non-smoker
- no pets
- always garaged
- uses no fluids ( I never had to put oil in it between changes)
- adult driven, neither of us is overweight so while the driver seat is "used" it is not completely worn out.  Most usage was with the driver only.  We used the minivan for the family.
- This was a daily driver for me and my wife.  It has the expected rock chips and scratches.  I occasionally put stuff in the back and the plastic in the cargo hold has minor scuffs and scratches.  Drive door panel has scuff marks from getting in and out.

Mechanical
- Dealer told me there is no timing belt interval, otherwise I'd have had it done.  Neither uses nor leaks engine coolant, oil, etc.
- the car has been maintained - the "check engine light" is not on.
- I have receipts from the local Honda dealer for the following major work done in the last 2 years:
- July 2012:  sign/light switch replaced, driver door lock actuator and lock replace after it gave me some trouble - no problems since
- Nov 2011:  replaced Mass Airflow Sensor, valve timing oil pressure switch, engine drive belt, spark plugs, front brake pads, rear brake pads.  One day going to work, it didn't run or shift properly.  I drove it to the dealer and no problems after the repairs.
- Sep 2007:  brake fluid replaced, differential fluid replaced, trans fluid replaced
- Jan 2007:  windshield replaced (no cracks)
- I believe it to be caught up on manufacturer recalls.
- everything works- power sunroof, door locks, AC, CD player, cruise control, etc.  I haven't driven the car for several months because I haven't needed it and the registration lapsed.  Everything worked when I parked it (always been garaged).

Vehicle Comes with:
- 2 original master keys with key fob (only 1 was every used) AND the valet key
- owner's manual
- tool kit
- radio security code
- other assorted manuals (window sticker, warranty info - expired, child safety, etc.)
- aftermarket floor mats
- full size spare
- major maintenance receipts
- does NOT have the spare tire cover (I had to cut is off a couple of years ago - the zipper had rusted closed).

Other:
- the right rear tail light is cracked at the bottom and a piece fell off but it works fine.
- the headlights need to be sanded/polished
- some of the rock chips should be touched up - any surface rust is minor
- see pictures for the bigger scratches (by door handles, near fuel filler door, etc.).  I have not had the vehicle detailed.  I don't know if some of these can be buffed out.
- vehicle was in 2 low speed "fender benders".  one was backing into a low concrete wall in a parking garage and the other was sliding sideways on an icy road into a mailbox.  both professionally repaired and no issues.

terms of sale:
- cash or cashier's check only.
- as-is/where is.  Buyer is responsible to confirm my descriptions to their satisfaction before the sale.
- Buyer responsible for pick up, transportation fees, etc.
- I'd like it picked up within 30 days after winning bid if possible (I gotta put the boat where this is sitting!) and there is an airport and train station within 10 miles of my house.  I'll help with picking up the buyer if needed.
- vehicle is not currently registered.  Buyer is responsible for determining how to legally drive it.
- Buyer responsible for shipping fees, sales tax, licensing, etc.


If i needed a 3rd car, I'd keep it.  I've tried to be complete and honest - ebay works when people are upfront.  Please contact me if you have any questions and thanks for looking!!

Honda Fit loses Recommended rating from Consumer Reports

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Thanks to its poor performance in the most recent round of Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash testing, where it received the lowest overall score in the small-overlap test, Consumer Reports has bumped the Honda Fit from its "Recommended" list. When a car gets bumped from the magazine's coveted ranks, it's usually cause for concern. This is not one of those times.
As there is a new Fit barreling towards dealerships for an on-sale date this spring, we wouldn't pay too much credence to the current car's demotion. It's expected that the next-generation Fit should pass the test with flying colors, as CR is quick to point out that newer Hondas have traditionally done very well in the tricky small-overlap crash testing.
Of the subcompact cars tested by the IIHS, only the Kia Rio, which netted a "Marginal" score overall, is a Consumer Reports "Recommended" vehicle.

Honda To Expand Takata Air Bag Recall Nationwide

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Under pressure from federal regulators, Honda is expanding a recall of driver's side air bags to all 50 states. The air bags, made by Japanese supplier Takata Corp., can explode with too much force, sending metal shrapnel into the passenger compartment. Takata insists that current recalls covering 8 million U.S. cars in high-humidity areas are sufficient. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wants the recalls expanded nationwide after some incidents outside the high-humidity zones. Rick Schosteck, Honda's executive vice president for North America, told House lawmakers Wednesday that Honda will expand the regional recall it began in June, but will continue to prioritize high-humidity areas. He also said Honda is working with other air bag manufacturers to make sure it has enough parts. Related Gallery Consumer Reports Least Loved Cars 2014 Recalls Honda Safety NHTSA list

It turns out Takata isn't willing to expand airbag recall nationally after all

Wed, Dec 3 2014

There have been "approximately 0.000006 failures per air bag deployment, which is far below the failure rate" of most recalls, Takata claims. Takata has seemingly made an about face following reports that it would expand its regional airbag recall into a nationwide repair effort, issuing a scathing, four-page letter rebutting allegations by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and its Office of Defects while simultaneously attacking the government's handling of the situation. The Japanese supplier claims in its letter that the "currently available, reliable information does not support a nationwide determination of a safety defect," arguing that there were "approximately 0.000006 failures per air bag deployment, which is far below the failure rate in the vast majority of the thousands of recalls," The Detroit News reports. Takata then breaks down the two specific incidents mentioned in NHTSA's original recall request letter, a 2005 Honda Accord and 2007 Ford Mustang. Referencing the two crashes, NHTSA Administrator David Friedman said last month "one incident is an anomaly, but two are a trend." The supplier, though, argues the Honda issue is already being covered by that company's soon-to-be-national recall (more on that in a moment). The company then goes on to point out that neither Takata nor NHTSA has been able to analyze the Mustang's airbag inflator, saying that such a lack of examination meant there was "no way to ascertain what actually occurred during the incident, whether any inflator ruptured, and whether any inflator rupture that may have occurred was related to the incidents that led to the current regional campaigns." Takata alleges that NHTSA has disobeyed its own statutes. Takata also took the opportunity to take a few swipes at NHTSA's behavior during the airbag scandal, saying it was "very surprised to receive" a recall request letter because the ODI had yet to even receive the company's responses to a pair of special orders. It also alleged that NHTSA was disobeying its own statute, which says only manufacturers of vehicles and replacement equipment can "decide in good faith whether their products contain a safety related defect," and that the government can only "issue an initial decision that a safety-related defect exists" to those same entities.
