 My wife's mother bought this car new on July 15, 2006. She owns it free and clear. Grandma is elderly and has put only 15,791 miles on it. It has been dealer maintained since new and the mechanics are excellent. So is the interior, and there's plenty of miles left on the tires.It has the basic accessories - A/C, CD player, radio,etc. Please note: IT HAS A MANUAL (5 SPEED STICK SHIFT) TRANSMISSION.

Grandma is a nonsmoker but she does have a dog. We vacuumed the interior, so there are no dog hairs. Nevertheless those with dog allergies should take this into consideration.

The exterior is another story. Grandma is moving into a life care community, and one of the reasons is that her eye-hand coordination has been declining in recent years. This car's body definately reflects that. There are numerous small doinks and boinks on all sides, and all 4 wheel rims have road rash. A piece of plastic body cladding that goes under the front bumper and wraps under the front of the car got damaged and was removed (Its absence is not noticeable but we wanted to disclose it). Fortunately the car has never been in a major accident and there are no major dents. I repainted many of the dings and scrapes (most of them pretty small) with matching touch-up paint. From 10 feet away it looks fine.

You are welcome to test drive it and have your mechanic inspect it. There are also a number of Honda dealers near us (Arlington, VA 22213). Most will do a pre-purchase inspection for you, and you can pay them with a credit card. If we have an agreement on the price we can make it subject to  your approval of their inspection. I'll be happy to drive it over to them for the inspection.

The Kelly Blue Book private party price for this care is $9,596 in excellent condition, $9,263 in very good, and $9,064 in good. The mechanics and interior meets the KBB definition for excellent and the exterior meets the KBB definition for good.  We are aiming for the KBB Very Good Price - $9,263.

If you are having the car shipped to you I'll be happy to coordinate the pick up with them.

Honda invests $215M in Ohio Earth Dreams production

Fri, 09 Aug 2013

Honda has announced a $215 million investment in a pair of its Ohio operations, taking its total tally for North American operations up to $2.7 billion in three years. The announcement was made at the 2013 Center For Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City.
$180 million of the investment is earmarked for Honda's Anna, OH engine plant. The money will allow the facility to increase its aluminum die casting and increase production of Honda's Earth Dreams Technology engines. Think of Earth Dreams as sort of like Mazda's Skyactiv line, only ED is limited to a new line of engines, rather than a full suite of automotive components. Anna will also be getting a new technical center to train engineers, techs, and line workers on powertrain technology.
The remaining $35 million is slated for Honda's main Ohio operations in Marysville. A 160,000-square-foot facility will be constructed near Honda's current properties, which will house another technical training center to focus on automotive manufacturing. The new building will also house Honda's North American Services group, as well as a new heritage center.

2015 Honda Civic Type R revealed [w/video]

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Earlier today, we told you how Honda has revealed a trio of new turbocharged VTEC engines, including the one that will be used in the 2015 Civic Type R. That's the winged, Batmobile-esque creature seen here. Ahead of a formal introduction at the Tokyo Motor Show, Honda is flaunting its new Civic Type R with images of the car testing at the Tochigi test track and video of the front-wheel drive hot hatch being put through its paces on the Nürburgring.
While the US is getting revamped Civic sedans and coupes, European customers will soon be able to opt for the 2015 Type R with its new Earth Dreams 2.0-liter turbo engine producing more than 276 horsepower. Honda has also made sure to give the car a styling that matches its powerful engine with a more aggressive front end, massive fender flares and a liftgate wing with unusual airplane-like canards. Honda is still withholding the Type R's official specs until the unveiling, but we can tell that the bigger wheels make room for beefier brakes.
The Civic Type R won't launch until 2015, but Honda has released the video posted below showing WTCC driver Gabriele Tarquini working the car around the 'Nürburgring, along with a brief press release. Check 'em both out and be sure to let us know what you think of this matte-black hot hatch in Comments.

Honda slowing US production due to ports dispute

Thu, Feb 19 2015

The labor dispute that idled 29 ports on the West Coast last the weekend, including Los Angeles and Long Beach, CA, is about to make its effects felt on the showroom floor, according to Reuters. Honda, Toyota and Subaru have been trying to work around the labor disagreement, cutting overtime and airlifting parts to factories, but Honda says parts shortages at plants in Indiana, Ohio and Ontario, Canada, are now severe enough to impede production. The lack of transmissions and some electronic components will slow output of the Honda Accord, Civic, and CR-V – as well as unnamed Acuras. The three affected factories will rework their production schedules from Feb. 16-23. The ports have reopened this week, and US Labor Secretary Tom Perez has flown to San Francisco to mediate a new agreement between the 20,000 dockworkers represented by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association, which represents the terminals and shipping companies. Talks have been going on for almost nine months and the issues aren't settled; meanwhile, the West Coast ports that handle half the nation's maritime cargo and 70 percent of cargo from Asia are putting all kinds of industries on the ropes, and it's estimated to cost the economy $2 billion a day.
