Here's the barn find you've been looking for! Well, not exactly, but really better. I bought this car not long ago locally from the 2nd owner who knew the original local owner and had to buy it off of him b/c he knew how well he took care of it. They'd been driving it locally so it's been staying in service but getting low miles. Has only 169k!(I'm still driving so it will move up some). All stock except for recent radio change and I have all of that to go with the car(original equipment was hardly putting out sound anymore). Bought new radio with remote and all new speakers. Interior is in great condition. It's been recently repainted because it was fading. Clean history. It's very hard to find a 1989 car that has not been in an accident, but it's been only adult driven it's whole life. Original engine blew head gasket and then ran hot so it's been replaced with same level engine. Documentation on nearly everything that's been done to this thing as far as maintenance and repairs going back to the day it left the dealer's lot. Only 4 adults have ever driven this car, and it has not been dogged out. You can tell the previous owners really cared for the car. All interior trim there, console in good condition!! Most everything works, even the sunroof and a/c!!! Over $4000 has been spent on this car over the last year or so just keeping it in top shape. New CV axles, clutch, radiator, engine (have most of that paperwork too), that was gone through before it went in, etc etc. This car has been gone through, I could go on and on. You won't believe the detail previous owners left. Paperwork. Books. This is one of the very few si's left in the US in this type of condition. It's not perfect, but it's among the best you'll see that hasn't been messed with.

Only areas of opportunity that I can think of:

Could use some rear tires. One of the LF bushings squeaks loudly. When the car was repainted, there was a rust spot over the rear wheel that started to bubble and they worked on it, but it's coming back. Also the driver side seat bolster has a worn place in it as typical, but the seats have been covered most of their lives, so they look good. The console is still in one piece but is getting fragile. Those that know these cars are aware of the console braking in pieces and having tough times getting the controls to work. There is a small crack near the temp control but it's still holding together. I've checked inside the console, the temp control knob has broken a plastic piece that holds the firewall cable that operates the heat mix. I've gotten it back together but have to be careful. I will gladly explain if interested about this. The rear bumper structure behind the skin is rusted, the screws that screw the tag into it are rusted and won't come out so I had to use other screws for the tag. Before the paint job, there was a very mild hailstorm and there are a very few dings...so small and few I never noticed them until the original owner pointed them out.

I've had a number of CRXs and have looked for years at them; this one is one of those rare well-cared-for units.
I'm having a hard time choosing to sell it b/c I know sooner or later I'll kick myself for ever letting this one go. Just running out of room for vehicles, something's got to go and I have children...smallest car should probably go. Do some checking and you'll see these cars in good condition normally go for $4-5-6-7-8K depending on various factors. This car isn't collectible caliber I don't guess (I'm not a car collector or know but about that) but I've seen hundreds to several thousand in person or online and this one is in a condition that I've hardly seen in the last few years. But please don't go by my judgement, as I know everyone has different standards. Just look at the pics and judge yourself. The car's been in western NC it's entire life until the last short while that I've had it. Other than those two rust areas, the underside of the car has virtually no rust at all! Not in the rocker panels either!

The pics: sunroof works great! I recently greased it's slides as a preventive maintenance just to keep everything sliding well. The rear fender shots show the rust that has not come through the paint, but eventually will. The interior center shot shows the new radio and condition of the console. I tried to take some pics that shows the few tiny hail dings but they didn't show very much, which really shows they aren't noticed unless you search for them. I think you can see the one in the roof shot with the sunroof closed.

Below is a partial list off the top of my head of what's been done to this car in the last few years:

-high quality paint job in factory color red paint

-new cv joints

-~40k J-spec engine from a reputable Honda engine importer in ATL. We have the mileage on the car when the old engine was pulled, so you can figure an estimate of the mileage of the engine (around 50k now). all maintenance stuff done when engine was put in...timing belt, gaskets, rear main seal and all seals, gaskets, thermostat, water pump, etc etc

-new clutch and trans fluid at time new engine installed

-new radiator

-new brakes

-new main fuel relay

-new master cylinder

-new radio and all speakers

things historically that are bad on these cars at this age are either already taken care of or are not in bad shape due to the easy life this car's had:

*even the sunroof works perfectly!

*the main fuel relay's been replaced!

*the hatch struts are good and hold it up!

*the hatch remote release works!

*the console is still in one piece!

*the a/c still works!

*all the interior trim pieces are still there! and in good shape!

*even the original SI mats are there, and in great shape! (additional mats and seat covers used most of it's life)

Feel free to email me with any questions and I'll be glad to answer them. If there's a certain picture you want me to take, I'll do that too. The car shipper won't have a hard time picking up the car, we'll make it easy for him to stop by the house to pick it up.

**Please keep in mind the miles may increase as I still drive it frequently. I also have the right to remove this auction if someone picks the car up locally as I have it listed

***Please note the vehicle history report says odometer discrepancy, then it says the miles check out. The miles are actual miles on the vehicle. When i registered the vehicle, SC will not show actual miles on a vehicle title once the vehicle gets past a certain age, so they marked the title this way. They told me that when I registered the car. Of course I was not happy about it, knowing it would do this. Nothing has been altered, as I checked the history and have a lot of records going all the way back on the life of this car. Accident free.

2015 Honda Jazz should Fit right in

Wed, Mar 4 2015

When is a Honda Fit not a Honda Fit? When it's a Honda Jazz. In other markets around the world, our pleasant little Fit hatchback uses a jazzier nomenclature, but what you're looking at here isn't simply a rebadged version of the car we know and love. For starters, the Euro-spec Jazz uses a 1.3-liter VTEC engine from Honda's Earth Dreams line, tuned to produce 101 horsepower. (The US-spec Fit, meanwhile, cranks out 130 hp from its larger, 1.5-liter engine.) That powerplant is mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable unit, and will be the only engine initially available at launch. From there, it's pretty much the same, save the small running lamps that flank the foglamps. The Jazz should fit nicely within not only the Honda lineup, but the booming subcompact class, with lots of onboard technology, excellent packaging (including the company's Magic Seat rear bench), and – we assume Â– a relatively affordable price point. Check out Honda's Euro-Fit in our fresh gallery of live shots, above. ALL-NEW HONDA JAZZ REDEFINES B-SEGMENT WITH ADDED SPACE, VERSATILITY, REFINEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY - Third generation Jazz based on Honda's global B-segment platform - New 1.3 litre i-VTEC petrol engine from Earth Dreams Technology series - Extra interior space, made versatile with Magic SeatsÂ® system - Bold, fresh exterior and refined cabin - New Honda Connect infotainment system - Advanced Driver Assist Systems enhance safety 24.02.2015 -- Arriving in Europe in summer 2015, the third-generation Jazz features bold yet sophisticated exterior and interior design, with unrivalled interior space and versatility. Occupants will benefit from increased refinement and advanced safety and infotainment technologies, as well as a highly efficient and dynamic driving experience. While the newcomer retains the classic Jazz silhouette, it exhibits distinctive contemporary styling including a powerful new face and strong lines. The use of Honda's cleverly packaged new global B-segment chassis means that the latest Jazz is even bigger on the inside. The company's Magic Seats Â® system ensures the interior offers unmatched versatility as well as class-leading space, with a range of configurations for carrying cargo and passengers. High-quality soft-touch materials and thoughtful interior design provide a sophisticated ambience.
