Up for sale is a 1994 Honda Del Sol. Adult owned. Bought the car from an adult with 90xxx miles on it, and I am selling it with 151,xxx.

This has been my daily highway and traveling car. Traveled from Florida to Chicago with this car with no issues. This car has had the maintenance completed as required for the car. I have only had to put brakes, tires and oil changes to this car. A new windshield was put on the car 3 months ago, due to a chip in the window.  This is a SOHC VTEC engine. For those who do not know, this is the car that works to get great fuel mileage. The engine and transmission work together to reduce the total amount of RPM's needed to get to speed.

This is a fun car! Jumps off the line and I average 270 miles on a 9.5 gallon tank. This is usually a week’s worth of driving for me. I get about 320 miles on a longer trips. The tires have about 40-50% tread life left, these are Michelin branded tires.

Just had the car looked over, the technician said that the brake master cylinder needs to be replaced soon - this is a 50.00 part, cheaper on Rock Auto. Total parts for the changeover if you know how to work on brakes yourself should be about 65 - 75.00 - because you need to buy more brake fluid to bleed the brakes to get rid of the air in the lines when you change the master brake cylinder. A shop will charge about 400.00 with parts and labor.

Fun things with this car. This has been adult owned the whole time. A suspension kit called SKUNK2 was installed to allow the car to hug the road better on corners and to allow for a wider rim to gain more traction. No joke, this car takes corners and adjusts to quick movements on the highway like a true sports car. This long term kit was installed at around 75K miles on the car, previous owner. This car has coil over shocks on all 4 corners of the car. Doesn't bounce and handles the road great! There are NO chop shop back yard mechanics to this car. Very reliable and just awesome to drive anywhere as a front wheel drive car!

I am 6'2" and I fit fine in this car. I actually have to pull the seat up some.

This car has a removable hard top that goes into the trunk for storage, with more storage still available for when you go out shopping or carrying some party supplies to a BBQ. :) See attached pictures. I pulled the carpet so that you could see that there are no gasket leaks, seals are good all the way around the car.

Under the car is great!

This has slotted rotors. Meant to reduce heat and improve braking.  Technician said that the pads are within 3mm of needing replaced, so by winter or next spring - depending on how hard you are on disc brakes - they will need replaced. I would replace these when you replace the master cylinder. You can see how to do this on a YouTube video if you would like to see if you comfortable in doing this yourself.

There are two minor rust spots, see pics. They are located to the rear of the car, and just out in front of the rear wheels. Rest of car is in great shape.

Rims are OK, they have about 70K miles on them. I do not have the original rims. But I do have two additional tires with the sale of the car.

This is a black car. Interior is a dark clothe. This is a fun automatic. This has a nice Pioneer CD deck that has an AUX input and a USB port. You can change the colors to some 50 options. This car has 6 speakers, 4 by the driver and passenger, the other 2 in the doors. This is ALL stock. Sounds great.

I am only selling this car to get a truck. The insurance is cheap on this car. Or I would be keeping it if I could get a hitch to put on it for hauling.

The timing belt was changed over at 110K miles. So the fluids to the tranny, the radiator and engine were all changed over as well. I have been changing the oil over 3-3500 miles.

The body is a 7/10, due to slight rust and the bumper has some pebble marks on it. The interior is an 8/10 - only due to tear in driver side backside of seat.

I have looked around for an all-inclusive warranty for this car, and I found one for ~1600, 5 yr/75k miles. It’s a great warranty, had the same with another Honda (civic) I had and I didn't have to pay a deductible or anything for any repairs - including brakes and shocks! But it’s your call if you think you need added peace of mind. The engine has no mods. Just an updated exhaust and alternator, 2 years old. Tune-up is 2 years old as well.

Any questions, let me know. I have been building and restoring cars and motorcycles for over 10 years. I am at 100% and I will answer any questions that you may ask. Looking to sell fast to get something else.  Trying to sell over eBay this round. Selling locally as well, have the right to end this auction early if sold. Being sold as-is where-is. This is a daily driver, so more miles will be on this car by the time someone gets this car.

Thank you for reading, take care!

Consumer Reports' first motorcycle reliability report finds Japanese brands ahead

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has released its first ever study of motorcycle reliability, and students of its ratings on cars might notice a suspicious similarity - Japanese brands require fewer repairs than the leading American or German brands.
The study analyzed the reliability of 4,680 bikes owned by CR subscribers and found that Yamaha had the best ratings, with just one in ten bikes built between 2009 and 2012 requiring a repair over a four-year period. The makers of the R1 and R6 sport bikes were closely followed by Kawasaki and Honda, while one out of every four of the rumbling bikes from Harley-Davidson experienced an issue. BMW had the worst rating of the brands represented, with one in three bikes having problems.
According to CR, neither Suzuki nor Triumph owners provided enough information for a reliable rating. Based on the responses received, though, Suzuki would have finished with the other Japanese brands and Triumph, being English, would have been one of the less reliable makes.

McLaren MP4-30 marks Honda's hotly anticipated F1 return

Thu, Jan 29 2015

McLaren's Formula One fortunes have drastically dropped in performance over the past couple of seasons. The Formula One team with a dozen Drivers' Championships, eight Constructors' Titles and 182 grand prix victories to its name hasn't won a race since 2012, and finished the past two seasons down in fifth place. But now it begins a new era – or rather, restarts one. And this is the machine that's kicking it all off. After a 23-year parting of ways, McLaren has brought Honda back onto the grid for this season, and will be the only team running the Japanese automaker's brand-new RA615H turbocharged hybrid power unit. Both parties are undoubtedly hoping the rekindled partnership will bring them back to the winning days of the late Eighties when Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost memorably drove their equipment to four consecutive World Championships. Largely an evolution of last season's Mercedes-powered MP4-29, the new chassis features a new front-end design to comply with the latest adjustment to the regulations from the FIA, and also incorporates a slimmer rear end built around the new Honda engine and gearbox. It also features a revised livery that adds more black to the red and silver color scheme, and does without a title partner for the time being, but includes the logos of sponsors Mobil1, SAP, TAG Heuer, Johnnie Walker, Hilton, CNN and KPMG, as well as that of Honda. Though this season will likely be more of a transition and development year for McLaren and Honda, all eyes will surely be fixed on the team to see how the new MP4-30 will fare. Fortunately, they've lined up a compelling roster of drivers, lead by former World Champions Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button. McLAREN-HONDA BEGINS NEW ERA WITH MP4-30 #McLarenHonda #MakeHistory McLaren-Honda – the name evokes stirring memories of the past; of Ayrton Senna battling Alain Prost for supremacy; of classic red and white machines dominating for season upon season; of an iconic team writing one of the defining chapters in the motor racing history books. Reuniting such an illustrious partnership brings with it the heavy weight of expectation, but all at McLaren and Honda are working to write a fresh chapter in Formula 1, one that respectfully nods to the past, but boldly looks to the horizon. Today's reveal of the new McLaren-Honda MP4-30 – McLaren's first Honda-powered car for 23 years – speaks volumes about the progressive nature of both companies.

Honda exec says US market near capacity, could hurt subprime buyers

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

Is there a point in the US auto industry where companies should start considering the welfare of their customers ahead of selling more cars? American Honda Executive Vice President of Sales John Mendel thinks that level exists, and we may be getting very close to it.
According to Automotive News, Mendel believes that finding more customers in the market could require pursuing subprime buyers and offering longer-term loans. However, he refuses to use those tactics. While selling models this way can improve things briefly, the strategies hurt resale prices and lower vehicle profits over time. The company won't do "stupid things in the short-term that damage the person who bought yesterday," he said to Automotive News. "It's a very, very short-term tactic especially in the subprime area."
American Honda, which combines the Acura and Honda brands, has seen market share decline from 9.7 percent to 9.1 percent through July 2014, according to Automotive News, and Autoblog's By the Numbers stats showed it posted falling sales in five of the seven months with data this year. Though, Mendel claims that was partially because the company focused on retail sales over fleets. The delays of the launches for the Honda Fit and Acura TLX likely didn't help either.
