For Sale: My wife's 1989 Honda CRX DX, automatic transmission, 164,186 miles, engine completely rebuilt in 2010, original 1.5l (1493cc) D15B2 SOHC engine and tranny. We get 33 mpg in town and 36 mpg on the highway at 75mph.
We bought this car in 2006 with 109,421 miles on it. She used it as a daily driver (4 mile commute, $27 of gas per month!) until we added to our family, and now we don't need a two seater (so I am told). The hot/cold switch is broken on the climate control, so I manually open and close the gate valve under the hood twice a year to switch the heater on/off. The fan controls do work. The AC blows 79 degrees, so it isn't cold. But you don't sweat. I have never had it looked at, but it hasn't gotten worse. The CD radio works fine, but it is 8 years old. We use a FM broadcaster for the ipod. The driver's seat has a seat cover that is the correct color. There is a 6"x2" hole in the outside bolster and a 2"x2" hole on the "bottom bolster". We don't smoke or have dogs. There is some old bondo that has started to crack at the front of the passenger side front fender (see photos). It looks great from ten feet away. This shouldn't be a big deal, and white is easy to match. But I don't enjoy body work; I'm an engine guy.The window tinting has some slight issues, but that is about it.

Wow. That made me tired just typing that. I know I did more work, but I have misplaced the receipts for the following: lower timing belt cover, water pump, heater hoses, radiator cap, grounding strap, windshield, valve job with engine rebuild, rear brake shoes, front struts/shocks, steering rack and three other tires (not listed above). All five tires have a lot of tread on them.
Included with the car is the owners manual, the Haynes Repair Guidebook (used) and these new parts: valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, many other gaskets, rear brake shoes, Full size spare on Honda rim, fuel filter. Also included are these used parts that are all still in good working order: spark plug wires, spark plugs x8, trunk latch, timing belt, hood hinges, 2 rotor buttons, spare storage compartment for back area-matching blue, exhaust manifold gasket, working water pump, working starter, interior AC controls ($177 on eBay), tie rod ends, working brake master cylinder, good heater hoses, rubber exhaust hangers x3, good radiator hoses, alternator belt and AC belt. Not in working order, but to prove I was in there, I have the old bearings and piston rings.
This car has manual mirrors and windows. All gauges work. It runs smooth and drives great. The pre-OBD2 diagnosis system works fine, but the check engine light isn't illuminated. The paint is shiny. We kept it in the car port a lot because it is so small compared to our other cars. I have a clear title and keys in hand. It sips gas. I'm not interested in a trade unless it is a rear-wheel drive car from Italy or Germany. Please contact me if you would like to see more photos. Take note of my seller rating and bid knowing I want to keep my 100% satisfaction rating by giving you a fair and honest deal. If you are brand new to eBay, please contact me before biding. Please call or text me at 904 -710-752two. My name is Chris. The car is for sale locally, so this ad may disappear.

Honda speeds down memory lane with its first F1 car
Fri, 22 Nov 2013Though most Formula One teams are based in the UK, they hail from places all around the world. There are teams from Russia, India and Malaysia, but in the 1960s, the idea of an F1 team coming from as far away as Japan was unthinkable in what was a predominantly European racing series. That's just the notion that Honda aimed to upset when it entered the car you see here in the 1964 Formula One World Championship.
With a 1.5-liter V12 dispensing 220 horsepower through a six-speed manual (its shifter necessitating the steering wheel mounted left-of-center), the 1964 Honda RA271 was built around an aluminum monocoque in a package that looks like a Formula Vee car you could erect in your garage, but it state-of-the-art when it was built. Speaking of which, Honda only built one, and today it's part of the Honda Collection Hall at Motegi, but the priceless racer made the trip down to Japan's capital so we could check it out at the Tokyo Motor Show. Awfully nice of Honda, we'd say. Check it out in our gallery of live shots from the show floor above.
Next Honda Ridgeline to eschew weird visuals, go mainstream?
Wed, 08 Oct 2014Last year, Honda gave us the first furtive glance at the next-generation Ridgeline with a shadowy photo of it in profile (above), and it promised that the pickup would "come to market in less than two years." That would have put the truck on track for a 2015 debut, but the automaker hasn't said anything more officially about the new model since then.
A new report from USA Today might shed some new light on the mysterious model. It claims that the next Ridgeline has more conventional pickup styling than the original model in a bid to conquest some buyers. You can get that feeling from the sketch, which appears to showing something far more traditional than the unorthodox original Ridgeline, whose odd tapering bedsides terminated in a double-hinged tailgate.
USA Today goes on to claim that the new Ridgeline will go on sale around late 2015 or early 2016. That's a bit later than expected, but fits with an earlier rumor.
Honda, Mercedes top KBB brand image awards [w/video]
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Kelley Blue Book has announced the winners of its 2014 Brand Image Awards, which look at brands with "attributes that capture the attention and enthusiasm" of customers in the market for a new car.
The award is divided up into luxury brands and everyone else non-luxury brands, with a number of sub-awards in each group. There's also a single award for truck brands. Taking the crown for the best everyman brand (for the second year in a row) is Honda, while Mercedes-Benz was the king of the luxury brackets. Ford, meanwhile, had the best image among pickup buyers.
Honda was also named the most trusted brand among shoppers, while Kia, GMC, Mini and Chevrolet also snagged awards for value, refinement, performance and styling, respectively. Secondary winners in the luxury ranks include Lexus, Buick, Porsche and Jaguar. Mercedes was also named the most refined luxury brand.
