One-owner, garage-kept, recently detailed, 2005 Honda Element EX AWD in Magnesium Metallic with 134,800 miles. Dealer maintained car with service records available. Great over all condition. Clean Illinois title.

Drivetrain - Runs good, drives great. No smoke on start-up, or any unusual ticks or rattles. Transmission shifts smoothly and effortlessly. The 2.4L K24A4 engine has a timing chain, so there's no timing belt(s) to replace. The serpentine belt looks a little worn, but it does not squeak. Should be good for a year or two. Engine bay is very clean. No fluid leaks. Engine oil change service is due in about 3,000 miles. I'd also recommend a transmission fluid flush as a preventative measure, but the car runs great.

Suspension/Brakes - Rides well. Shocks/dampers/springs in good condition (no leaks). Newer tires with 75% tread and even wear. Recently aligned, tracks straight and true. Good brakes with plenty of pad life left. Rotors are a little warped, but not noticeable under normal conditions.

Interior - Very clean. Nothing is cracked, sticky, or broken. Non-smoker. No foul smells or odors. No cracks on the dashboard, and all plastics are clean and glossy. Upholstery has recently been shampooed and shows no stains or marks. The vinyl seat material is cracked on the lower left seat bottom, but it hasn't torn through. There are a few nicks and scratches on some panels, but everything is otherwise in excellent condition. Floor liner is clean with no rips or tears. The fold-out/removeable seats work like a charm. Like all Honda Elements, the car has a pop-up moonroof in the back. Awesome car for camping.

Electronics - Everything works (as it should). Newer battery. Keyless entry/alarm has good range. 270 watt CD/MP3 disc player with powered sub-woofer and Aux/iPod input sounds great, with no blown speakers. All interior and exterior lights work. No check-engine lights or diagnostic trouble codes. Air conditioning blows cold and strong. Hot, hot heat.

Body/Paint/Glass - Excellent condition. Paint has recently been professionally clayed, sealed, glazed and waxed and shows deep gloss and shine. Like looking into a mirror. Plastic panels are deep black and show no fading. All glass is original with privacy tint in the back. Windshield does have a few nicks and a small crack in the lower driver's side corner, but it's been that way for about two years now. It hasn't grown since then. The crack is out of sight, but I thought I'd mention it. There's a few dings on the doors, but you'd be hard pressed to find and/or notice them. Wheels are in great condition, no brake dust stains or curb rash. We had one center cap stolen from the car a year ago (these normally don't come off), but you can buy a set of four off Amazon for $20 shipped.

Miscellaneous - All OEM literature (even the sales brochure!) is present and accounted for. Window stickers, booklets, manuals, quick-reference guides, etc. (check out the photo gallery below). Carfax is clean and available (send me a message and I'll send it to you for FREE). Service history is available. Have wheel locks and the wheel lock key.

Asking $8,250 or best offer. Price is already below book value, but I'm open to other offers.

Test drives welcome! I invite you to view the car personally, or send an inspector. You won't be disappointed.

Cash, or certified/cashier's check only. Sold as-is. No warranties expressed or implied.

Contact me through the provided eBay e-mail. I usually respond within the hour. Showings by appointment only. I will be available throughout the week.

Thanks for looking!

Honda discontinuing Euro Accord, no replacement in sight

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Honda has built two Accords for many years. There's the one we're familiar with here in the United States, and then there's the Accord sold in markets like Europe and Australia, known here in the US as the Acura TSX. But just like Acura did with the TSX, the Euro-market Accord has been discontinued.
The news comes from The Motor Report in Australia, which is reporting that the Accord Euro will be discontinued in 2015. Sold Down Under alongside the US-market model, the discontinuation of the Aussie car indicates an end to Honda's midsize sedan efforts in Europe, where there is no obvious replacement for the four-door and wagon models.
According to TMR, Honda Australia Director Stephen Collins indicated that focus will be placed instead on the US market "wide-body" model, as it's known. That said, this decision doesn't sound like it's sitting too well in Oz.

McLaren pondering Honda-powered 911 killer?

Tue, 21 May 2013

As one of the premier sports cars in the world, the Porsche 911 is always driving around with a target on its rear-engined backside. If a new report is to be believed, the latest automaker with plans to build a 911-fighting sports coupe could be McLaren. Motor Trend is reporting that the recent news that Honda and McLaren are teaming up to build Formula One racecars could bear road-going fruit as well.
According to the article, the unnamed entry-level McLaren coupe may be powered by a Honda-sourced engine, but a detuned version of the 3.8-liter V8 from the MP4-12C is said to be more likely. All in, though, there is no solid information on the car just yet. As a reminder, M/T points out that the last time McLaren partnered up with a mainstream automaker, the world was introduced to the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.
