Please see the condition description above. Trying to be as upfront as possible about the flaws. I plan to add a few more pictures soon of the interior and close ups of the things mentioned in the condition description above. A few more note on the condition in the interest of up front disclosure; it has had paintwork done over the years but not because of accidents; It has been because of paint fade,  chairs are in great condition except there is a bit of a tear in the head rest of the drivers seat. It is inexpensive to replace. The drivers side interior door panel has a small tear in it due to the seat belt head digging into the panel when someone closed it. It could be glued down fairly easily.There is also a small crack in one of the hubcaps. It is not very noticeable. FYI - under the hubcaps it does have the factory red center caps on the wheels. There is oil in the engine compartment. It looks to me like it came from a loose hose at one point and possibly needing to replace the valve gasket at another point (which was done and then redone again recently). Not currently leaking any oil. I don't like to clean out the engine compartment on these because it gets in the distributor cap. However, it would not be all that difficult form someone to do if they wanted to. 

I have loved this car and done all maintenance plus extra things just to take good care of it. Interior, exterior, and mechanically it is in excellent condition. Only reason I am selling it is because it is a two seater and I have decided to get something that has a back seat for my kids. I prefer my cars to be all stock and you will find this one is too. I did put a CD player in it (was a cassette player and I couldn't take that), but as you can see from the pics it is a honda CD player. To go along with this I put high quality speakers in place of the stock speakers and they now sound incredibly good. I also installed a console in between the seats because these things don't have a lot of storage - but that also looks stock. I put some rubber Honda floor mats in there to protect the rather rare stock CRX floor mats that are in like new condition. 


Just so you know, the passenger side rear view mirror is not broken off. The HF edition was designed this way in order to minimize wind resistance and maximize fuel efficiency (HF = high fuel). Honda made several other modifications on this model (as compared o the other models) to increase fuel efficiency.

I know the history of the car and that the regularly scheduled maintenance has been done for it's entire life (which is considerable - it has 330k on it). It looks and drives like it has about a tenth of those miles on it. About 45 thousand miles ago the following regular maintenance was done: timing belt, suspension system, fuel pump, and clutch replaced. The valve adjustment was just done about 5 thousand miles ago (have been done annually since it was purchased new) and I went ahead and replaced the valve gasket then too. Brakes and tires are good all the way around. Other recent (within the last 18 months) maintenance performed includes: front passenger full axle shaft replaced, front passenger upper control arm replaced, master cylinder replaced, radiator replaced, exhaust resonator and resonator pipe replaced, main relay re-soldered, and blower motor replaced. 

Due to the fact that all the regular maintenance has always been kept up the car has been worked over top to bottom to the point of almost having more new parts than it does old. It has been regularly cleaned inside and out and waxed more than once a year. The oil has been changed about every 3500 miles and a full synthetic oil has been used for at least the last 5 years (not sure what the previous owner did). I also use a fuel injector cleaner about every third time I fill up. 

It is my daily driver and I am unafraid to take it on long trips (have made quite a few four and six hour trips in it - one way). I get about 50 miles to the gallon. I commute 30 minutes one way to work (Boonville) and always take my CRX. It does really well in the snow due to how light it is and because it is front wheel drive. Was able to get around pretty easily even in the heaviest of snows we have had the last couple of years. These things just don't quit - even when they have been abused, but particularly when they have been so well cared for. 

Car will not be shipped unless you choose to have it shipped and pay for that independently from this transaction. It is in Columbia, Mo. I may be willing to drive out and meet you somewhere to shorten your drive to pick it up but it depends on the drive, date of pick up, etc.

6/26/14 - UPDATE: AT ABOUT MIDNIGHT THE NIGHT OF THE 26TH I UPDATED THIS POST BY ADDING MORE PICTURES. NOW INCLUDES MORE PICTURES OF THE INTERIOR, IMPERFECTIONS, ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND MANUALS. I took a closer look at the head rests and the good thing is that there is no fabric missing. This means it would be a pretty easy fix with some fabric glue and something to hold the fabric into place. The Civic CRX manual is the original manual from when the car was purchased new on 7-9-90. It has a letter from the dealer inside the manual that discusses the cars emissions control equipment (which was pretty new back then) along with the original owners name and information. I do have a few more pics I could send you if you are wanting to see some more of the engine compartment and interior. Also, be sure to check the vehicle history report above. It has a squeaky clean history.

2.1 million vehicles recalled again over faulty airbags

Sat, Jan 31 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda and Toyota will recall 2.1 million vehicles to fix faulty airbag modules "after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles." These vehicles had all previously been recalled, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the airbags could still potentially malfunction. This recall will cover Acura MDX, Dodge Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Odyssey, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix and Toyota Avalon models made in the early 2000s. NHTSA has reportedly received about 40 reports of airbag deployment in such vehicles, even though the vehicle had not been involved in a crash. Roughly one million of these same vehicles, all from Honda and Toyota, are also subject to recalls due to faulty Takata airbag modules, though this particular recall is for "an electronic component manufactured by TRW" that is separate from the actual airbags from Takata. According to NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind: "This is unfortunately a complicated issue for consumers, who may have to return to their dealer more than once. But this is an urgent safety issue, and all consumers with vehicles covered by the previous recalls should have that remedy installed. Even though it's a temporary solution until the new remedy is available, they and their families will be safer if they take the time to learn if their vehicle is covered and follow their manufacturers' instructions. A hassle is much better than a family tragedy." If you're the owner of an affected car, expect to hear more from the official automaker and government channels in short order. In the meantime, we'd suggest getting your car checked and fixed at your local dealer. The official statement and recall information can be found below. Previously Recalled Vehicle Remedies Not Working as Designed; NHTSA Announces Follow up Recall of 2.12 Million Cars and SUVs Saturday, January 31, 2015 Contact: Gordon Trowbridge, 202-366-9550, Public.Affairs@dot.gov WASHINGTON – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced today the recall of more than 2.12 million Acura, Dodge, Jeep, Honda, Pontiac, and Toyota vehicles for a defect that may cause airbags to deploy inadvertently. The recalls will provide vehicle owners with a new remedy after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

2016 Honda Civic Type R shows sometimes the grass really is greener [w/video]

Wed, Mar 4 2015

The newly unveiled Honda Civic Type R at the Geneva Motor Show seems like a cruel trick being played on North American hot hatch fans. Even if the European model's oblong shape and massive wing don't make for the pinnacle of automotive beauty, it's hard to question the vehicle's performance capability, especially after the 7:50.63 lap around the Nurburgring Nordschleife. The heart of the Civic Type R is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder pumping out 306 horsepower and 295 pound-feet with a six-speed manual. The combination is reportedly good for a sprint to 62 miles per hour in 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 167 mph. Honda also fits the CTR with Brembo brakes and adaptive dampers, while a special suspension setup reportedly helps in the fight against torque steer. While the big wing catches the eye first, Honda adds to the aggressive look with a new rear diffuser, front splitter and deeper side skirts. Also, the vents behind the front wheels help air through the engine bay to keep things running cool. Inside, front occupants are hugged by sport seats with big bolsters to keep them in place. With the forthcoming NSX and return to Formula One, Honda appears on the very cusp of a performance renaissance, and the Civic Type R is just one more step in that direction. Thankfully, at least one rumor indicates its turbocharged engine might make it into the North American Civic at some point. Related Video:
