2003 Honda Civic Hybrid W/ New Hybrid Battery--needs Work on 2040-cars
Brookfield, Connecticut, United States
2003 Honda Civic Hybrid
I hit a patch of ice and spun into a guardrail a week ago. The front end was damaged and the 2 front airbags deployed. The frame in the front needs to be straightened somewhat, but the front wheels and the suspension seem unaffected. The engine was not hit. The engine starts and runs fine with no check engine light. I have been running the engine every day to keep the engine and IMA battery healthy. It appears that with a little work on the frame in front the car could be fine. I just don't have time to work on this now. The car has a clean title and is ready for immediate purchase. (I didn't have collision insurance on this car so the insurance company never looked at it, and I didn't cancel the CT registration after the accident because I planned to fix it.) This car has a new IMA (hybrid) battery that was installed just over a year ago in the fall of 2012. The battery is still under warranty for almost 2 more years and the warranty is transferrable. Please see bumblebeebatteries.com for more info. I will also include a wiring harness to connect this battery to the Genesis One grid charger. The harness hasn't been installed yet but it's easy to do. The IMA battery and charging harness together cost about 2300. Other features of the car: • JVC HD radio and CD player • 5 speed manual transmission • new seat covers and floor mats • clean interior, no rips or stains • good tires with lots of tread left • new 12 volt battery installed just a month ago • always very well maintained with regular oil changes • there are video monitors and a CD / DVD player in the 2 headrests for entertainment in the back seat • antenna for sirius satellite radio on the roof • includes the official (green) Honda repair manual for this car which costs $100 • the car gets great gas mileage--50 mpg on the highway if you drive carefully Parts that will need to be replaced to drive the car: • front windshield (broken by the airbag) • the 2 front airbags • radiator and oil cooler • front bumper and grill • A/C and water pump belt • splash shields under the engine • headlights $2600 or best offer. I would like to move this quickly. |

Honda overhauls North American operations with eye towards more autonomy
Mon, 25 Feb 2013The increasing sales success of Honda North America (HNA) has led to Honda brass in Japan reorganizing regional operations here. The management shuffling here and in Japan is intended to both streamline and confer more responsibility on HNA "as the region assumes a larger role in shaping Honda's global business," and as Honda builds more facilities that serve several roles in the product development pipeline.
Honda's executive vice president and president of HNA Tetsuo Iwamura was named COO of automotive operations, taking over a position that had been handled by company president Takanobu Ito. Iwamura's new role puts him in charge of anything Honda makes that has four wheels, which Automotive News says equates to 78 percent of the company's global revenue.
The current company CFO, Fumihiko Ike, will fill the now-vacant role of company chairman and Kohei Takeuchi will take his place. Takeuchi is presently the operating officer, general manager of the accounting division. The executive swaps take effect April 1, 2013.
Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index
Tue, 25 Jun 2013With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."
2015 Fit Kit is the perfect DIY car from Honda
Mon, 31 Mar 2014Ah... let the April Fools' Day automotive jokes begin. Honda is kicking things off, following up on last year's Honda Hair joke with a prank video featuring the 2015 Honda Fit.
It's called the Fit Kit, and as you might guess, it's a way to build your own version of the redesigned hatchback. There are 180,000 mechanical parts in the kit - some delivered by drone - but that doesn't seem at all daunting to the pair of obnoxious, self-described tinkerers that star in the Fit Kit ad.
Honestly, the video is pretty entertaining, with some biting satire of the DIY movement and its attendant cadre of mustachioed hipsters. Scroll down and have a look at both the video and the Fit Kit press release from Honda.
