Here’s a 1997 Honda Prelude (Base) 5-speed that I purchased on (5/6/10) from a local car auction here in North Carolina.  The car was issued a salvage title due to the fact that the insurance company said it would cost more to fix it, rather then the car was worth.  Below are the actual pictures taken when I purchased the car on (5/6/10) along with its current condition.  The car currently has 182,885 miles which is the same mileage when I purchased it.  My original plans were to rebuild the car from the ground up, and that’s the reason why I haven’t driven it. 

As you can see from the pictures I’ve either fixed or replaced what was originally broken with new parts.  The original engine that came with the car is in great shape.  It runs and drives because I’ve pulled it out of my garage from time to time to work on it.  I would advise the winner to have the car towed to not damage the car because it’s been sitting for over three years.  Know issues that need to be addressed (paint job, change gas, change brake fluid, change transmission fluid, and trunk latch needs to be adjusted).   

Everything you see in the pictures will be included with the car.  Please note that EBay limits ads to 24 pictures (so some items are not shown in the pictures, but will be included in the sale).  Below is list of what’s included.  The car, extra H22A engine, two turbochargers, two intercoolers, and etc. are to be sold as is.  Winner is responsible for all shipping charges.  Local pick up preferred.  Forms of payment accepted (Paypal or certified U.S. bank issued cashiers check).  Note: **Denotes new parts that I already installed, or in original box waiting to be installed.  There is No Reserve! Happy bidding.

I would like to sell the car, but I would entertain a trade of comparable value. There are well over $11,000 in car and parts. The list of cars I would trade for must be fully functional (I.e. Run, Start, Drive) with no significant issues... Here's the list of what I would possibly trade for: Audi A4 1.8t/2.0t, Dodge SRT-4, Mitsubishi VR-4, BMW Z-3, Mini Cooper S, Mazda RX8, Toyota MR-2 (Last Generation Made), Honda S2000, BMW 3 Series (00-newer), Saab 9-2x, Miata (99 or newer), VW Golf GTi (00-Newer), Mitsubishi Evolution, Acura RSX, Audi TT, Saturn Sky, Pontiac Solstice, Chrysler Crossfire, Porsche Boxster, or Corvette (98-newer).

There are no liens on this vehicle.  I currently have the title in hand...  Ready to sign over to the new owner.

Honda Urban SUV Concept leaks out ahead of Detroit debut

Sun, 13 Jan 2013

Next up on the 2013 Detroit Auto Show embargo-break-a-palooza: the Honda Urban SUV Concept. Thanks to Indian Autos Blog, we now have the first press shots of the small crossover concept - a vehicle that will someday make it to production, riding on the Honda Fit platform.
It may have some big features - namely, the large headlamps, big wheels, and bold body lines - but the Urban SUV Concept will compete with smaller vehicles like the Nissan Juke or Fiat 500L. Indian Autos Blog reports that both 1.6- an 1.8-liter four-cylinder engines are being speculated for use in the production model, as well as a diesel powerplant for foreign markets.
That's all we know for now, but stay tuned to see the full smattering of official images and details as part of this week's Detroit coverage.

Former Honda CEOs chide current boss about quality

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

Taking charge of a major corporation will never be without its challenges, and one of those - as Honda CEO Takanobu Ito is finding out - is filling the big shoes of those that came before. Ito's predecessors are apparently not pleased with what he's doing to the company, and are wasting no time in telling him so.
According to Reuters, two former Honda chiefs have recently visited Ito (pictured above with his predecessor Takeo Fukui) to talk to him about the Japanese automaker's quality issues, which they apparently regard as eroding the company's image. Nobuhiko Kawamoto, who served as CEO from 1990-98, reportedly came to Honda headquarters in Tokyo to deliver "stern words" to Ito last month. Kawamoto's immediate successor, Hiroyuki Yoshino, reportedly met with Ito under similar circumstances earlier this year.
Kawamoto and Yoshino are part of a larger group of former Honda executives who are concerned with the declining quality of the company's products under Ito's leadership. Where Honda once focused more on quality, collaborating more closely with parts suppliers,more recently the company has, in the eyes of those former executives at least, shifted its focus to quantity and to new technologies. That's what, the report alleges, has led to Honda recalling so many of its vehicles in recent years.

April 2014: The ramping-up-for-summer edition

Sat, May 3 2014

Americans appear to be gearing up for further increases in US gas prices, as green-car sales last month had their largest year-over-year gains of 2014. Domestic customers bought almost 56,000 hybrids, plug-ins and diesels in April, marking a 2.6 percent increase from April 2013. Plug-in sales were particularly strong, jumping 41 percent from a year earlier, as sales of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in and Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model S battery-electric vehicles all showed gains. April's big winner among the automakers was Honda, moving 1,442 units of its newer Accord Hybrid And April's big winner among the automakers was...Honda? Yes, Honda, which has long operated in the advanced-powertrain shadow of fellow Japanese automakers Toyota and Nissan, came up big by moving 1,442 units of its newer Accord Hybrid. And while sales of the Civic Hybrid, CR-Z and Insight all fell, the Accord Hybrid drove Honda to boost its green-car sales by 78 percent from a year earlier to 2,839 units. Per usual, Nissan and Tesla also showed year-over-year gains. Nissan boosted Leaf sales by 7.8 percent to 2,088 units. And while Tesla won't release its first-quarter results until May 7, the California-based automaker would've increased Model S sales by 34 percent to 2,300 just by maintaining its fourth-quarter 2013 sales pace. Volkswagen and low-volume advanced-powertrain vehicle makers like Audi, Porsche and Daimler AG's Smart division also fared well in April. VW increased its diesel and Jetta Hybrid sales by 25 percent to 9,583 units. Audi's diesel sales quadrupled to 2,088 units. Smart sold 203 units of its newer Smart ED battery-electric vehicle. Such gains more than offset sales declines from General Motors, Ford and Toyota, though Toyota's April was less painful than previous months. GM's big mild-hybrid sales declines more than offset the 19 percent increase in Chevy Volt sales to 1,548 units and the sales of 491 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel vehicles. All told, GM's green-car sales declined 25 percent to 3,103 units. Fusion Energi Plug-in Hybrid sales doubled and C-Max Energi PHEV sales jumped 28 percent. Ford's green-car sales were down 12 percent to 7,554 vehicles. While Fusion Energi Plug-in Hybrid sales doubled and C-Max Energi PHEV sales jumped 28 percent, Fusion Hybrid sales were little-changed while C-Max Hybrid sales tumbled 50 percent to 1,586 units.
