Condition: UsedA 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.Seller Notes:"No IMA Battery, Scratched moderately on the front passenger's side, Will not pass emissions test since the IMA battery is bypassed, slow oil leak, needs new breaks."

Car is in running condition. I have used it for a commuter car to work. It averages between 48-50 MPG per tank. (That's ~480 miles per tank on a 10 gallon tank) The A/C compressor recently went out so I removed and bypassed it. Car does not have A/C right now. You can buy a used A/C compressor and it would work again. Power Doors/Locks/Mirrors all work. Heater works. Defroster for the rear window doesn't work. Car has the wet seat belt issue when it rains. It also has a slow oil leak. 

This car shows the wear and tear of a car with 240,000 miles on it. However it has NEVER left me stranded anywhere and has been reliable. I wouldn't expect to get another 100,000 miles out of the car however since it has such high mileage.

The car DOES NOT have an IMA battery (I do not have the IMA battery). It has been bypassed properly and now uses the IMA motor as the alternator to charge the 12v battery. Unfortunately, if you live in a county that tests emissions, it will not pass a state inspection because of this. Understand the previous sentence before you bid on this car. If you have a spare IMA battery or plan to pick one up this will be a non issue. 

Car starts up with no issues and runs. It bogs down a little bit and shakes from a stop but most of them do this once IMA is bypassed. You have to ease into the throttle or it can get worse. It also sometimes vibrates a little when giving it gas already at speed. It will still get between 44-50 MPG without the IMA battery depending on how you drive. I tried to get bad gas mileage in it one time on a round trip from Katy, TX to Columbus, TX and still got 38 MPG. This thing sips gas no matter how light/heavy of a foot you have!

The car's auto stop/start does not work, but did work before the IMA battery was removed.

Car needs an alignment and new breaks.

Paint is faded in some areas of the car and it has a few dents and scratches. Please look at all the photos.

Before the IMA battery made the check engine light stay on all the time, the check engine light had came on previously for a gas cap that didn't seal properly.

As you can see in the pictures it was recently in a fender bender (Front Passenger's Side). It was minor cosmetic damage and I never bothered fixing it as this was my daily driver car for work.

I am selling this car so I can get a new one.  

Buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for shipping if it is needed. I will be available for anyone who would like to stop by and look over the vehicle after 5:30pm during the week.

All sales are final. I have stated everything I know to be wrong with the car. Any independent inspections must be performed before the auction closes.

Buyer will pay a non refundable $200 deposit within 24 hours of auction close with the remaining balance being paid within 7 days. I will take cash or a certified check. The title and car WILL NOT release from me until the check has been verified and it clears. I will not do any type of payment plans.

Car has a clear title and it is in hand.

 

If you have any other questions please ask!

Honda HR-V gets early reveal

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

If the Honda HR-V feels awfully familiar to you by now, you're not alone. We've seen it debut in Japanese form (dubbed "Vezel"), caught a prototype in Paris, and Honda first showed us the US-spec version in press-photo form all the way back at the New York Auto Show in April. We're finally going to get all the details on Honda's new subcompact crossover this week as part of the Los Angeles Auto Show, but first, we're getting an early look at the CUV today.
We met the Honda HR-V for a cup of coffee this morning at Randy's Donuts just outside of Los Angeles, and got our first look at the new CUV in the metal. It's a handsome little thing, offering a higher-riding, more butch alternative to the Fit hatchback on which it's based. We particularly like how the rear door handles are integrated into the pillars, for an almost three-door look from some angles.
Technical details are still scarce as of this writing, though we expect those to be revealed during Honda's press conference on Wednesday. For now, we just know that the HR-V should be an incredibly practical little thing, using the Magic Seat system that has made the Fit such a versatile and capacious subcompact. Stay tuned for more, and see the HR-V from all angles in our live gallery, above.

Honda previews S660 roadster ahead of Tokyo debut

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Honda isn't known for making convertibles. In fact, legend has it that old man Soichiro banned them from his lineup - but then he also didn't approve of six-cylinder engines, either. There have been exceptions, like the Civic del Sol and S2000, and today Honda has revealed another.
Set to debut at the forthcoming Tokyo Motor Show in late November is the Honda S660 concept, a compact little roadster about which Honda is saying even less. It looks about the size of a Kei car, with a nameplate that suggests a 660cc engine, making it more of a revival for the 1990's Beat than the high-end S2000. And while there are some clear similarities with the EV-STER concept that debuted two years ago in Tokyo, the S660 looks closer to production-ready, with key features like an actual steering wheel.
Of course, whether the S660 makes production, and beyond that makes it off of the Japanese islands and across the Pacific to US showrooms, is another matter, but we could see something like this taking the fight to the Mazda MX-5 and even the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ if it did.

Honda demonstrates new Vehicle-to-Pedestrian safety tech [w/video]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

We're fresh from a balmy rooftop deck in downtown Detroit, where Honda held a meeting this week to discuss and demonstrate a few upcoming advanced safety features. A clear focus of the mini event was the company's new Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) technology, with a suite of Vehicle-to-Motorcycle (V2M) tech a significant second course.
With spirits still high from announcing the 2014 Odyssey as the first minivan to win the Top Safety Pick+ status from IIHS - and after seeing the application of new high-strength-steel sections of the Acura MDX body structure - Honda shared the fruits of some safety tech that is still in the research phase.
