Cape May, New Jersey, United States

This van runs great, is in excellent condition, and looks great.  We have kids and there is normal wear and tear inside the vehicle.  There has been no smoking in the vehicle.  I don't even have a list of items that are wrong with the van because there is nothing wrong with it to my knowledge.  

We hit a deer last year and had cosmetic work done (replaced windshield, front bumper, hood, other minor stuff) by an insurance certified dealer / mechanic (Toyota dealer). Also, we replaced the passenger sliding door with a NEW door in 2013 as well (done by Honda). I have all the paperwork.  The oil / regular service has been done on schedule.  The air bags did not go off because the impact was minimal and nothing beyond cosmetic work, as noted by the insurance inspectors / mechanic.  

WARRANTY:  
A.  The initial 3-year / 36,000 mile bumper to bumper is expired because of the miles.  

B.  If you purchase this van, I will pay you $100 to offset / cover the cost of having a mechanic inspect the vehicle.  

C.  Further, if anything is wrong with the engine in the first 10,000 miles that you own this van, I'll pay you up to $2,000 dollars to assist with repairs.  I have two of these vans and am confident that this van is in excellent shape and that you are getting a good, fair deal.  

The tires are original and are getting close to life expectancy / need for replacement.  I had the oil changed last week and the mechanic felt they were okay for a few thousand more miles.  

It has the Honda Navigation system (awesome), hands-free phone capabilities, satellite radio capability, and Ipod adaptor / connector in glove box .  It does NOT have the DVD system.  It does have the sunroof, heated front seats, and power everything.  

I've priced it just below the low end of the KBB value range ($24,700 - $28,400).  

Lesson Learned:  The local dealers are offering only $20,000 for trade in / purchase because the cosmetic work / accident shows up on the Carfax report.  It's unfortunate that the value is impacted that much because the van has NO evidence (mechanical or visual) that anything occurred.  However, I suspect that the van will be sitting on the dealer's lot, within minutes, with a $28,000 sticker price and the accident will be disclosed as "not a big deal," because it was not a big deal.  

I am straight forward and am genuinely concerned that a fair deal is done.  I'm not willing to jeopardize my integrity for a couple thousand dollars. If you are interested, please get  the van thoroughly inspected by a Honda dealer and you will find out what I already know about this van: it is good-to-go.

Honda Civic poised to get new Earth Dreams engines

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

When Honda executed its emergency refresh of the Civic for 2013, it didn't do any massive powertrain reworking. But that doesn't mean new things aren't already in the works for Honda's compact. According to Automotive News, Honda has confirmed that it will offer the Civic with a new Earth Dreams powerplant sometime in the future, though details on timing and exactly what sort of engine are unclear as of this writing.
The confirmation comes from Honda's executive vice president and regional director for North America, Tetsuo Iwamura, who says that the Earth Dreams engine will come when the Civic is re-engineered or redesigned, not during a refresh. There is also no mention of whether these changes will apply to just the standard Civic, or if the Si and Hybrid models will receive some Dreamy new tech, as well.
The entire Earth Dreams group of technologies encompasses more than just naturally aspirated engines with direct injection. A turbo-diesel engine is also part of this suite, as are new continuously variable transmissions and new gasoline-electric hybrid powerplants. Honda launched its 2.4-liter and 3.5-liter Earth Dreams engines in the redesigned 2013 Accord.

New Honda smart cruise control predicts other motorists' future idiocy

Wed, Jan 14 2015

It's not quite "Open the pod bay doors, Hal," but we're getting there: Honda is offering a predictive cruise control system on the Exectuve Grade Honda CR-V in Europe starting this year. Advancing the capabilities of the present adaptive cruise control, the Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (i-ACC) will be able to foresee and automatically react to other vehicles cutting in ahead of you up to five seconds ahead of it happening. A research team developed the system after studying European driving patterns for years. The i-ACC keeps track of surrounding cars with a camera and radar, "evaluating relations between multiple vehicles" and running the data through an algorithm to figure out who's going to do what. If it detects another car about to move into your lane, the CR-V brakes softly and a dash light illuminates to let the driver know what's about to happen, then it brakes a little more firmly to keep the proper distance after the other car moves in. Honda says it works in the UK and on The Continent because it knows which side of the road you're driving on. That means it could work here, but our guess is that it will take a while for that happen, our driving patterns being a little more erratic - and that's putting it kindly - than those of our Euro brethren. There's a press release below with more information. Honda to Introduce World's First Predictive Safety Cruise Control System 08.01.2015 - Honda is to introduce the world's first predictive cruise control system known as Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (i-ACC), capable of foreseeing and automatically reacting to other vehicles 'cutting-in' to the equipped vehicle's lane. Based on extensive real-world research of typical European driving styles, Honda's Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (i-ACC) uses a camera and radar to sense the position of other vehicles on the road. It then applies an algorithm to predict the likelihood of vehicles in neighbouring lanes cutting-in by evaluating relations between multiple vehicles, enabling the equipped vehicle to react quickly, safely and comfortably. i-ACC will make its debut this year on the new European CR-V*, building upon the traditional Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system. Traditional ACC systems keep a preselected longitudinal velocity, which is only reduced for maintaining a safe distance to a car in front. However, if a vehicle cuts-in from a neighboring lane, the traditional ACC system reacts later thus requiring stronger braking.

Honda announces 2015 Pilot Special Edition

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

Honda doesn't have any exciting new mechanical or aesthetic changes for the 2015 Pilot eight-passenger crossover, but it is adding a new trim level to give families a compromise between the EX and EX-L models.
The new Special Edition trim is available on either the front-wheel or all-wheel drive versions of the Pilot, and it adds Pewter Gray aluminum wheels, a power moonroof, a rear seat entertainment DVD system and Sirius XM radio. Prices come to $33,950 for the two-wheel drive version, after the $830 destination charge, or $35,550 for all-wheel drive after destination.
Prices for the rest of the trims are up $200 over last year, and they all still come standard with remote entry, a rearview camera and Class III trailer hitch. Power is still provided by a 3.5-liter V6 with 250 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque with a five-speed automatic. Fuel economy is unchanged as expected with front-wheel drive models rated at 18 miles per gallon city, 25 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined, and four-wheel drive models make 1 mpg less at 17 mpg city, 24 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined.
