YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. THIS IS THE "VP" VERSION, AND COMES WITH A 1.7 LITER (4 - CYL) FRONT WHEEL DRIVE ENGINE, AND AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE CAR GETS OVER 30 MILES TO THE GALLON, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THE CAR DOES NOT RUN DUE TO WHAT I BELIEVE IS A BLOWN TRANSMISSION. ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT HAS SEVERAL MILES ON IT ..., I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER, BUT IT IS OVER 220,000 ..., AND IT WAS RUNNING FINE UP UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO, WHEN THE TRANNY STARTED SLIPPING, AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MAKE IT HOME, BUT IT WILL ONLY GO INTO ONE GEAR (FORWARD) AND REVERSE ..., BUT IT ONLY MOVES LIKE ONE MILE AN HOUR. AT THE MOMENT, IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A LITTLE WHILE, SO THE BATTERY IS DEAD, AND I TRIED TO JUMP START IT THE OTHER DAY, AND ALL I COULD DO WAS GET IT TO CRANK ..., BUT IT WOULD NOT FIRE. DON'T KNOW IF MAYBE THE BATTERY IS TOO DEAD, OR WHAT IT MAY BE (I DIDN'T MAKE TO BIG OF AN EFFORT TO GET IT GOING, I JUST WANTED TO TRY TO GET IT TO START FOR THE WINNER) . I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER ..., BUT UNFORTUNATELY LET MY TEENAGE SON DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE, SO IT GOT SLIGHTLY MORE ABUSED THAT I HAD HOPED FOR. 95% OF THE MILES DRIVEN ON THIS CAR WERE FREEWAY COMMUTER MILES, AND I WAS VERY GENTLE WITH THE CAR. ANY ABUSE CAME FROM MY SON, AND HE ONLY DROVE IT FOR A FEW MONTHS.

ANYHOW ..., ASIDE FROM THE TRANNY NOT WORKING ..., IT HAS A FEW OTHER ISSUES, WHICH I WILL DO MY BEST TO POINT OUT. FIRST OFF, THERE IS A RATHER LARGE SCRAP DOWN THE PASSENGER SIDE ..., NOT TOO GIGANTIC, BUT DEFINITELY OBVIOUS. THERE ARE A COUPLE OTHER DENTS IN VARIOUS PLACES AROUND THE CAR ..., AGAIN, NOTHING GROSSLY OVERWHELMING, JUST MINOR DENTS. THE MIRROR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS KNOCKED OFF, AND GLUED BACK ON (THE GLASS FOR IT IS IN THE CENTER CONSOLE). A COUPLE OF THE PLASTIC PIECES INSIDE THE CAR CAME OFF (LIKE INSIDE THE DOOR HANLE (PIECES ARE IN THE CENTER CONSOLE AS WELL). THE HOOD LATCH LEVER ON THE INSIDE IS BROKEN OFF, BUT CAN EASILY BE GRABBED WITH TINY HANDS, OR A PAIR OF PLIERS. THE WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED. THERE IS A STEREO/ CD PLAYER AND SPEAKERS THROUGHOUT THE CAR, , BUT THE SPEAKERS ARE DISCONNECTED. THE PAINT ON THE REAR SPOILER IS FADED AND NEEDS TO BE REPAINTED. PLEASE SEE PICTURES FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE.

PLEASE NOTE: WHERE THE CAR IS LOCATED, I DON'T GET TO IT MUCH, SO I DID MY BEST TO TAKE PICTURES WHEN I WAS THERE ..., BUT UNFORTUANTELY THE SUN WAS GOING DOWN, SO THEY DON'T DO THE CAR THE JUSTICE IT DESERVES. INITIAL SHOTS WERE AS THE SUN WAS FADING, AND THE REMAINDER OF THE SHOTS WERE TAKEN WITH A FLASH, IN THE DARK ..., SO PLEASE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, AND IF YOU NEED SOME BETTER SHOTS, JUST LET ME KNOW, AND I'LL TRY TO GO OUT THERE BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS AND TAKE SOME MORE.

OVERALL, THE INTERIOR IS IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE. SEATS HAVE BEEN COVERED WITH SEAT COVERS THEIR WHOLE LIFE TILL JUST RECENTLY, AS WELL AS THE FLOOR HAS BEEN COVERED WITH MATS. EVERYTHING ON THE CAR IS ORIGINAL, EXCEPT FOR THE SPOILER, AND WHEELS. THE TIRES ARE ALMOST NEW ..., MAYBE A FEW HUNDRED MILES ON THEM. ALL THE LIGHTS, BUTTONS, KNOBS, AND SWITCHES WORK AS THEY SHOULD. AIR CONDITIONING WORKS GREAT. HEATER WORKS FABULOUS. CAR HAD AN ALARM SYSTEM BUT REMOVED CUZ IT WAS ACTING FUNNY (LOCATED IN CENTER CONSOLE IF YOU WANT IT, AND HOOKS UP UNDER DASH, BELOW STEERING WHEEL).  STEREO WORKED PHENOMINAL, BUT MY SON TOOK THE AMPS AND WOOFERS OUT FOR HIS OTHER CAR. STEREO AND CAR SPEAKERS ARE STILL INTACT, THE SPEAKERS JUST NEED TO BE HOOKED UP AGAIN. THERE IS A REMOTE FOR THE STEREO IN THE GLOVE BOX. CAR HAS MINI SPARE IN TRUNK AND A FULL SIZE SPARE, THAT I CAN SEND WITH THE WINNER IF THEY WANT IT. THE TRUNK HAS A WOOD FLOOR HATCH DESIGNED IN IT, BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL SET UP WAS SILLY AND DID NOT ALLOW FOR THE WOOFERS TO BE MOUNTED PROPERLY. THIS WOODEN ATTACHMENT IS ACTUALLY A NICE FEATURE (NOT A NEGATIVE THING AT ALL). THE OVERALL PAINT IS A BLACK WITH BLUE AND PURPLE SPECS IN THE PAINT, THAT ORIGINALLY HAD A GREAT LOOK TO IT, ESPECIALLY IN THE SUN. OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE SOME DENTS AND DINGS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED IN ORDER TO GET IT PERFECT AGAIN ..., BUT OVERALL THIS CAR CAN BE A GREAT CAR WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF MECHANICAL REAPAIRS ..., AND THE DENTS AND SCRATCHES DO NOT IMPAIR THE CAR IN ANY WAY FROM BEING DRIVEN, NOR DO THEY EVEN LOOK THAT BAD, SO YOU CAN PROBABLY JUST LEAVE THE PAINT ALONE ..., FIX THE TRANNY, AND OFF YOU GO.

THE CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS AND DOES NOT COME WITH ANY WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES OF ANY KIND. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OR WISH TO COME AND SEE THE CAR BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS, PLEASE CONTACT ME THRU E-MAIL AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO ACCOMADATE WHATEVER YOUR REQUEST MAY BE. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A LOCAL PICK UP ONLY AND ANY SHIPPING ARRANGEMNET FOR THIS VEHICLE MUST BE HANDLED SOLEY BY THE BUYER. THE VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN THE CITY OF LITTLEROCK CA, WHICH IS ABOUT SIXTY MILES NORTH OF LOS ANGELES.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU ..., THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST ..., AND HAPPY BIDDING.

P.S. THE CAR IS LISTED LOCALLY AS WELL, SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY IF REQUIRED.

THE CAR IS CURRENTLY ON A NON-OP REGISTRATION, AND THE TAGS ON THE CAR READ: JULY 2013. IT NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM PASSING SMOG, IT JUST SEEMED SENSELESS TO LEAVE IT REGISTERED WHILE IT WAS BROKEN. THE TITLE IS CLEAR AND IN HAND ..., AND THE ONLY OTHER ISSUE IS THAT THE PLATES ON THE CAR ARE PERSONLIZED AND THEY WILL NOT BE SOLD WITH THE CAR ..., JUST AN FYI.

McLaren, Honda confirm F1 divorce, coupling with new partners

Fri, Sep 15 2017

The news broke recently that McLaren F1 and its engine partner Honda would split ways after the 2017 season. Neither party commented the news initially, but there is now a confirmation from both sides. In addition, McLaren confirmed today that they will be using Renault engines for the next three F1 seasons. This will be the first time that a McLaren Renault F1 car will compete. McLaren's Executive Chairman Shaikh Mohammed bin Essa Al Khalifa praised Honda in his statement, while acknowledging that the 2015-2017 joint venture hasn't been successful enough: "Although our partnership has not produced the desired success, that does not diminish the great history our two companies have enjoyed together, nor our continued efforts to achieve success in Formula 1. At this point in time, it is in the best interests of both companies that we pursue our racing ambitions separately." Zak Brown, McLaren's Executive Director echoed that statement, adding that "It is certainly not for the want of effort on the part of either Honda or McLaren," and that the company hopes to see Honda get back to the top. At the moment McLaren has achieved 11 points and ninth place in the standings, with Honda power. Regarding Renault, Brown said, "Today's announcement gives us the stability we need to move ahead with our chassis and technical program for 2018 without any further hesitation."

As for Honda, they announced today that an agreement was reached on providing engines for Scuderia Toro Rosso for the 2018 season. As Honda's president Takahiro Hachigo said, "Toro Rosso is an experienced team with a youthful energy and history of nurturing the stars of the future. Everyone at Honda is looking forward to working with Toro Rosso." About McLaren, Hachigo said, "Honda will continue the fight together with McLaren all the way to the end of the 2017 season, and then continue its F1 racing activities in 2018 and beyond."

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
