You are looking at my 1990 Honda CRX SI Hatchback, Red color, that I acquired in the fall of 2007. It had 75K miles when I bought it and now has 172K. It has never been in an accident. The engine runs strong and smooth. The car gets excellent gas mileage around 36-38 mpg average. The car has VIN # JHMED9367LS010434.

This car will be sold as is and I will describe as accurately as possible all known issues or concerns. The winning bidder is responsible for pickup, shipping, or delivery of the car.

This has been a very reliable, fuel efficient, and zippy car to drive around in. It does not have A/C but has a sun roof and plenty of ventilation. A/C was never initially installed but could be installed by a competent mechanic. This car has been used for my work commute car and has mostly highway miles.  I am only selling because I’ve decided to invest in a new car.

There are no engine or car issues other than what is described below.  

Car Maintenance since I’ve owned:

-       Oil changes with synthetic oil and High efficiency oil filter every 6K miles.

-       Engine tune-up (spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor) every 30K miles.

-       Manual transmission oil changed every 40K miles.

-       2 new front CEV front shaft axle shafts at 132K miles.

-       Front left ball joint replaced at 132K miles.

-       Wheel alignment checked and adjusted every 40K miles.

-       New clutch and timing belt replaced around 100K miles.

-       Replace the Fuel and air filter replaced every 30K miles.

-       New alternator / and belt, and battery replaced in the last year.

-       Coolant flush every 30K miles.

-       New exhaust pipe / muffler at 168K miles.

-       New catalytic converter and center pipes at 130K miles.

-       New Brake pads replaced in last year.

-       New Sumitomo tires installed at 120K Miles.

-       New starter at 164K miles.

-       New battery at 163K miles.

-       New alternator and belt at 134K miles.

 

The car does have some flaws:

-       There is surface rust around the wheel wells and on top to the sun roof. I did apply some JB Weld on top of the sun roof and around the wheel wells, and covered with red paint to prevent the rust from spreading any further. You can see the bubbly surface on the sunroof. Any reputable body shop could easily fix these areas.

-       The oil pan drain hole threads are slighting stripped so I have had to apply JB weld around the oil pan bolt to prevent a small leak following each oil change. The JB weld can be easily chipped away for removal of the pan plug and oil change.

-       The driver seat cloth is ripped on the upper left side. I remedied this by applying black duct tape. Of course car seat covers would be better, or a seamstress could repair.

-       The rear windshield washer sprayer does not work.

-       On occasion when shifting into 2nd gear to quickly, there is some slight grinding heard. I had discovered this when I 1st purchased the car. A reputed mechanic told me this would never get any worse, and to this day it hasn’t. If you ease into 2nd gear gently, this will not occur.

-       There is a slight dent in right rear panel (see pic).

-       On hot days when the car is sitting too long, the accelerator (gas pedal) needs to be depressed for 30 seconds, and then the engine can be started. I think this may be a sensor issue? Otherwise, the engine always starts smoothly.

-       There is a slight scratch in the front windshield driver side.  (see pic)

-       There is a small cut / rip in the vinyl on the driver’s door side. (see pic)

-       The Hood opening latch inside the car has to be held in open position so that the front hood can be popped open. I accomplish this by putting a wrench or 12” piece of wood to hold the latch in open position.

The CRX SI original owner’s manual also comes with the car. The winning bidder is responsible for pickup or shipping.

Honda recalling 748k Odyssey and Pilot models over airbag concern

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

American Honda today announced a recall of approximately 748,000 Odyssey and Pilot models due to faulty airbag concerns. The vehicles in question are Odyssey minivans from the 2011 to 2013 model years and Pilot crossovers from the 2009 to 2013 model years.
According to a statement from Honda, driver's side airbags in the affected vehicles were potentially assembled without some of the rivets that secure the bag's plastic cover. Because of this, the airbag may not deploy properly in the event of a crash, leading to further occupant injury. As of this writing, no injuries have been reported in conjunction with this issue.
Honda will begin officially notifying owners via mail in mid-February. The automaker urges customers to take their vehicles to an authorized dealership, where vehicles will be inspected and, if necessary, repaired. In lieu of waiting for the snail mail approach, owners may also visit www.recalls.honda.com or can contact the automaker directly at 1.800.999.1009 and select option four.

Recharge Wrap-up: BYD unveils 60-ft electric bus, Honda sticking with hybrids in Europe

Thu, Oct 16 2014

BYD has debuted a 60-foot electric bus at the American Public Transportation Association Expo in Houston, TX. The Lancaster bus, as it is called, has a 120-passenger capacity and can drive over 170 miles on a single charge. The articulated bus features low floors and no steps, thanks to in-wheel hub motors. BYD also displayed a 40-foot electric bus that drove the 1,500 miles to the show under its own power (recharging along the way, of course). Read more in the press release below. Honda says it will continue to sell hybrids in Europe, despite the fact that it has stopped selling the CR-Z and Insight due to slow sales. "Our focus at the moment is on our 1.6-liter diesel but we haven't forgotten about hybrid technology," says Honda Europe's Philip Ross. Honda will sell the next-generation Fit (badged as the Jazz) in Europe when it launches next summer, and will sell the next-gen hybrid version beginning in 2016. Honda sold 4,500 of the Jazz hybrid in Europe last year. Read more at Automotive News. XL Hybrids is selling its XL3 Hybrid Electric Drive System in California. The news comes after the California Air Resources Board issued an executive order allowing the aftermarket hybrid conversion for 2012-2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans. The XL3 Hybrid regenerative braking conversion increases real-world mpg by about 25 percent. Read more in the press release below. NRG eVgo has finished installing 60 charging stations at the Sony Pictures Entertainment studio lot and offices in Culver City, California. The Level 2 chargers, which will be managed by NRG eVgo, allow employees to charge their EVs during the workday. An average of 90 EVs and PHEVs park at the studio headquarters every day, thanks in part to Sony Pictures' Alternative Vehicles Incentive program for its employees. Learn more in the press release below. Pennsylvania's Public Utility Commission will allow operators of EV charging stations to set prices based on kilowatt hour usage. This change ensures that drivers pay for the actual energy they use, rather than the time they spend charging, since different cars can charge at different speeds. Car Charging Group has already begun using the per-kWh fee structure at its charging stations throughout the state. Other states that allow kWh pricing are California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Washington. Read more in the press release below.
