Newburyport, Massachusetts, United States

Up for auction is this 2004 Honda Civic SI Hatchback, black w/black cloth interior, 5-speed manual transmission. This is essentially a one owner car (purchased by the current owner at 11k miles in 2005), with absolutely NO modifications to the body, interior, suspension, drivetrain, etc - these cars are impossible to find so close to stock! The original radio was replaced with an aftermarket CD player w/USB input - the original radio will be included with the car.

These cars are incredible to drive - very connected to the road, great seating position - the unusual gearshift position is very comfortable and easy to operate, the seats bolster well but are forgiving on long trips, the suspension is well cared for and still supportive. Gets great fuel economy while still being fun! The car also has a surprising amount of cargo room - there's lots of space with the seats down.

This Civic SI has been meticulously maintained, and though the miles have been logged, they are almost all highway, with very low stress on the vehicle. This car is still being driven daily and has been reliable and dependable every day of its life. The current owner spared no expense with any maintenance or repair - the car was never left neglected or needing work, as he needed it to get to work and back.

Recent repairs include:
-All four tires (Michelin Primacy all-season) just over one year ago, about 50-60% tread depth remaining
-Front brakes (pads and rotors) replaced within the last six months
-Rear brakes (pads & rotors) replaced this current month
-Oil changes have been every 3,000 miles using Valvoline Synthetic Max Life oil
-Driver's side front seat belt receiver replaced (warning light was on)
-Engine knock sensor replaced within the last six months
-Premium/high octane fuel used every tank

The car is straight and rust free, and shows normal signs of wear and tear that any 10 year old car with almost 200,000 miles would - small dents/dings along the driver and passenger side body, both front & rear bumpers fading and marked, driver's seat material worn, driver's floor mat worn. However, the passenger and rear seats are in excellent condition - again, this car was used as a commuter so they didn't see many miles of use.

Current owner purchased a new vehicle, so it's time for this SI to find a new home.

Bid with confidence - NO RESERVE!! Please don't hesitate to ask any questions! Delivery can be arranged for an additional fee, or we are happy to assist loading the vehicle for shipping/transport, or pick you up at a nearby airport to drive her home. Clean title in hand. This vehicle is for sale locally, I will end the auction if it is no longer available. This vehicle is sold with NO WARRANTY, implied or otherwise, AS IS.

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers

Sun, Mar 29 2015

As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.

Back in March, safety engineers at Honda were disappointed when the much-anticipated 2015 Fit received a substandard grade on an important crash test conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mercedes also under diesel emissions scrutiny

Sat, Oct 10 2015

The controversy over Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal isn't limited to the US. In Europe, where diesel engines are far more popular, the issue is shining a harsh light on the NEDC emissions test. As already known, the evaluation does a poor job of reflecting real-world production of NOx, and it appears a significant number of automakers are affected. The Guardian in the UK has been reporting on real-world test results from a company called Emissions Analytics. After the latest round of checks, vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi were found to generate far more NOx than they should. The newspaper also published similar results for Renault, Nissan, Hyundai, Fiat, Volvo, Jeep, Citroen, VW, and Audi. On average, the figures are about four times over the limit of producing the pollutant. Unlike VW and its defeat device, these automakers aren't actually breaking the rules. The vehicles perform up to the NEDC lab test for emissions, but those results simply aren't translated to the street. "The VW issue in the US was purely the trigger which threw light on a slightly different problem in the EU - widespread legal over-emissions," Nick Molden from Emissions Analytics said to The Guardian. A big fight to decide the future of this issue appears to be on the horizon. Automakers claim that they can't meet the next round of tightening emissions regulations and are asking for compromises. Although, spokespeople for Mercedes and Honda told The Guardian that the brands would be in favor of the stricter rules. Meanwhile, some European governments began backtracking their support of diesels well before this scandal came to light. The added scrutiny certain hasn't helped the future of the oil-burner.
