Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

I am going to explain this wonderful car in ALL of the details I possibly can. I am also going to upload a video so you can see and hear it for yourself.

I recently purchased this vehicle from a seller in Virginia Beach. He bought it off of his friends that were great with cars, and drove it for awhile also. His friends took great care of the car, and did everything the maintenance book said to, and always changed the oil after 3,000 miles. He did the same. The buyer before me also did an overhaul to the vehicle, and change all of the belts (other than the s-belt which is tricky to get to in these Honda's).

After I bought the vehicle. I drove it from Philadelphia, PA to Orlando, FL where it is located now. There were no problems in the vehicle at all, and she drove really nice. I changed the front two tires in FL, you can see the receipt for $140 in the picture. After driving for a little in Flordia, I noticed the temp guage was going up a little, so I took the radiator cap off and saw there was little coolant. I filled it up, and on I drove for some time.

I was driving to Gainesville, 200 miles away, and the temp guage went up again. I pulled over, and had white smoke that smelt like coolant coming from the exhaust. All signs pointed to a blown head gasket from people I talked to (I don't know much about cars, just try to learn what I can when I can).

The next day, I filled it up with coolant and drove it to firestone auto care. They did a pressure test in the coolant system and found 2 broken hoses. They replaced these, pressure tested again, and all was good with the coolant system. This cost $75.55

The car was hard to start after this, which firestone believed was due to a blown head gasket. I then went to an auto part store, where they suggested blue devil.

I bought blue devil, and what was told to buy with it, (new thermostat, guage, etc.) I had a mechanic friend help me, and we removed the thermostat and replaced the hoses. We then completely drained the radiator, did a complete radiator flush with a flushing agent. We noticed a small leak near the drain cock of the system, and patched this hole w/ putty. We then drained the radiator again. We filled the radiator with water and blue-devil, and let idle for 1 hour. I then test drove it, and it heated up a little. We filled it with coolant, as it was low after idling, and drove it for 30 minutes. All was great.. no coolant smell from the exhaust, both fans worked, no overheating, etc.

The next day it started up great again, and I drove it 200 miles back to Orlando. Towards the end it started to overheat again, and once I parked the vehicle, it again let white smoke out of the exhaust smelling like coolant. I checked the oil both times and there is no water in it, so it looks like it is just a minor blown head gasket. As you can see in the video, the engine does crank, it just doesn't turn. If I wasn't going back to California, I'd just pay the money to get the head gasket fixed, but I don't have time/ was going to sell it anyway.

Vehicle shows minimal signs of rust, just a little under the gas fill up, and minor spots that just look like bad paint. The engine ran very well when the car was running. The transmission would stick a tiny bit going from 2 to 3 gear.

The car is a great car, that will run for many many more miles once this head is fixed. I wanted to give as much info as possible, so you know exactly what you're buying, a very good car, that needs a head gasket fixed.

If you have any questions, please call or message-- 407.434.1502

Honda slaps Legend name on JDM Acura RLX

Mon, 10 Nov 2014

It's been eighteen years since we last saw the Legend nameplate in Acura showrooms here in the US, but in Japan it's still very much alive as Honda's flagship sedan. And now the Japanese automaker has revealed the latest generation.
Set to go on sale across Japan on January 22 - 30 years since the nameplate was introduced - the new Honda Legend is essentially the same model we already know in the States as the new Acura RLX. Only by "essentially," we mean exactly. It is the RLX, only with Honda badges instead of Acura ones. The manufacturer hasn't even changed the grille or the wheels.
Although the RLX is being offered Stateside in two forms, the new JDM Honda Legend will only come in one form, equivalent to our Sport Hybrid, with Super Handling All-Wheel Drive and a hybrid powertrain pairing a 3.5-liter V6 to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission with integrated electric motor. For the privilege of owning the most luxurious car Honda makes, Japanese customers will have to pony up ¥6,800,000 - which about adds up to $59,950 we'd pay for an RLX Sport Hybrid.

Honda Concept B Hybrid production version coming to China in 2016

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

At the Beijing Motor Show this weekend, Honda took the wraps off of the Concept B Hybrid, a "new-value concept" that will apparently do its level best to get the Japanese automaker back into the entry-level gas-electric game. Powertrain details for the five-door concept hatch are noticeably absent, so we are assuming that what Honda wants with this concept is for us to focus on the looks. Honda says the car's exterior design is "advanced and cool-looking." We like the shape, but think a few changes will do wonders for the production model.
If the busy front end gets turned down a bit in production (it's especially glaring from the front), we can see this becoming a darn good replacement for the Insight at the lower end of the hybrid price spectrum. Sadly, for now, Honda is saying that the mass-production model that uses the Concept B as a foundation will be available "exclusively" on the Chinese market in two years.
Speaking at the Beijing show, Honda president and CEO Takanobu Ito continued to look for ways to green his company's line-up, and said Honda, "will strive to become number one in complying with Chinese CAFE regulations, which are the toughest in the world, and offer a new lifestyle for Chinese customers." Come 2016, that new lifestyle could look like the car you see in the gallery above. Think it's a good one?

Honda renders three-row MPV for Jakarta reveal

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

In preparation for the Indonesia International Motor Show coming up in September, Honda has released a teaser sketch (click to enlarge) of a new three-row MPV - specifically designed for this region - set to debut at the show. Honda says this yet-to-be-named people mover will be positioned in the entry-level MPV segment, which it says is a crucial part of the Indonesian auto market.
While there is no way to tell the size of the vehicle based off this rendering, it does appear to be far more stylish than the Honda CR-V, although the stepped-down beltline and the pinched shape of the rear quarter window have us thinking that Honda designers have been staring at the BMW i3 a little bit too much. The New Honda MPV will be powered by a 1.5-liter gas engine, and it goes on sale (and production) in Indonesia early next year. Honda has released a short press release for the new model, which is posted below.
