What you are bidding on here is my "1986 Honda Prelude Special Edition".

This is an extremely rare car & model. Very few of this model were ever sold and not many of them left around. What makes this model so rare are the following things: It was the first year for fuel injection 2.0 engine, power steering, and 4 wheel disc brakes. Also was the first year for "Special Edition / Si Trim". (In Canada they labelled it Special Edition and in the United States it was labelled 2.0 Si)

This car has not seen winter in 20 years. I had the body completely and properly restored 7 years ago. There is no rust and the under body is in excellent shape. Original engine with "matching serial numbers" that has always been taken care of and never abused. Car has never been modified and always had original parts replaced. Never missed any maintance & oil changes. Does not burn any oil. It has only ever been worked on by a certified Honda Mechanic since day one. I just had engine seals done and timing belt. This car runs and drives just like new. Garage kept and barely even seen much rain. Never been in any accidents and has clean title. It is however to be honest not in perfect cosmetic condition. The cosmetic flaws are some of the windows trims are peeling the black plastic and some are also faded. The other cosmetic flaw is the paint in some areas look a little dull and this is because I had taken it into a body shop last year for touch up work and it was not properly "buffed" so you can see in some spots it looks a little dull. However it is not to bad and there is no rust. It might be fixable with a good wax job or if you know how to use a buffer. I am not skilled in these areas. The interior is in great shape, no cracks anywhere on the dash. Only flaw in the interior is the drivers seat is worn. I had it taken in and patched up and it does not look that bad. I am also including with this auction a brand new full set of extra brakes for this car. The mileage on the speedometer shows 378063KM's but it really is 328063 because I had the cluster changed and it had more mileage showing on it so I've always kept a record of it.

Here is a list of all the new work and parts recently done on this car within the last year:

- Timing Belt & Water Pump
- Complete Brake Job Including New Calipers Front & Rear
- Fuel Pump
- All Engine Seals
- Suspension
- NGK Plugs & Wires
- Drive Axels
- Exhaust Front To Back
- Kenwood Stereo & Clarion Speakers Professionaly Installed
- Door Moldings
- Interstate Battery

This car needs nothing at all and drives 100% perfectly with no issues. This auction is perfect for any retro Honda collectors or for someone who wants a classic well built reliable car with everything already done on it. Winning bidder must make arrangements for pickup and a $500 deposit is required at the end of the auction. Note: If this car sells in Ontario, Canada I have no problem including a full safety / certify on it. Feel free to email me with any questions you may have regarding this auction. Please bid with confidence. Thank you for checking out my auction.

Honda Fit loses Recommended rating from Consumer Reports

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Thanks to its poor performance in the most recent round of Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash testing, where it received the lowest overall score in the small-overlap test, Consumer Reports has bumped the Honda Fit from its "Recommended" list. When a car gets bumped from the magazine's coveted ranks, it's usually cause for concern. This is not one of those times.
As there is a new Fit barreling towards dealerships for an on-sale date this spring, we wouldn't pay too much credence to the current car's demotion. It's expected that the next-generation Fit should pass the test with flying colors, as CR is quick to point out that newer Hondas have traditionally done very well in the tricky small-overlap crash testing.
Of the subcompact cars tested by the IIHS, only the Kia Rio, which netted a "Marginal" score overall, is a Consumer Reports "Recommended" vehicle.

Honda could halve its US lineup without crimping its sales much [w/video]

Sat, 18 May 2013

Taking a detailed look at the Honda lineup in the US, it isn't hard to see the strength of some models and the weaknesses of others. A recent report on Autoline Daily points out that its five core models - the Accord, Civic, CR-V, Odyssey and Pilot - make up a full 93 percent of Honda's sales in the US. Through April, Honda has sold 419,798 vehicles, and 389,474 of them were from these core models; not to mention the fact that the Accord was the top-selling car in the US last month.
This means that Honda could technically cut six of its 11 models and only lose about 5,000 sales per month. Of course, this is just some data crunching and there is no reason to believe that Honda is planning to kill off any of its models in the near future. In fact, it seems to be committed to the Ridgeline, while Japanese-made models that may actually lose money for Honda still fill unique voids. Scroll down for the video report - fast-forward to the 1:43 mark for the Honda info.
