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.

Check out the Honda Civic hatchback's shapely rear end

Thu, Aug 11 2016

The 10-generation Honda Civic is excellent in all but two areas – performance and utility. The upcoming Si and Type R will satisfy any performance qualms, while Honda will up the utility with its first US-market hatchback in over a decade. Here it is. These images, obtained by the folks at the CivicX forums, are our best look at the hatchback's shapely rear end. Honda kept true to the look of the Civic hatchback prototype shown in Geneva, ditching the twin center-exit exhaust pipes. We're hoping Honda revisits the design on a future Si hatchback, but keeps a similar rear bumper design. The large, black plastic inserts that house the rear reflectors are a more aggressive look than either the Civic coupe or sedan, but aren't flashy or overdone. Weirdly, the rear window reminds us of the Accord CrossTour's back glass, only not ugly. There's a healthy spoiler at the top of the window, along with a similarly sized unit connecting the two taillights. Again, this is mostly like the concept shown in Geneva. What's curious is the date that these images were captured. See, the Civic in the image above is boarding the vehicle carrier M/V Orion Highway. And if we Google the ship, we can see it left Southampton on July 29, stopped in Baltimore – home of an expansive vehicle processing center – on August 8. That means the new Civic Hatch is in the US already. Get excited, Civic fans. Related Video:

Acura ILX headed for Civic-like early upgrades

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

The not-yet-ready-for-primetime 2012 Honda Civic saw it quickly returned to sender for refurbishment, now the Acura ILX is headed in the same direction in its very first year. Automotive News reports that the small, Civic-based sedan from Honda's luxury brand isn't meeting sales expectations, with an annualized rate of 22,000 to 24,000 sales instead of the 30,000 the company is after. More telling is that the ILX "is being outsold by the Buick Verano, Volkswagen CC and Audi A4," and, except for two months since it launched, it has also been outdone by the Acura TSX it is meant to replace.
Part of the cause has been the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine: its 150 horsepower to motivate a sedan that can weigh up to 2,970 pounds doesn't offer the kind of performance or value experience that buyers in the segment respond to. Another big issue is that the top-level 2.4-liter engine is only offered with a six-speed manual even though most buyers of the highest trim don't really want to shift their own gears. Lastly, the ILX might not put enough space between it and its frugal underpinnings - our first drive review pegged it as "the world's nicest Honda Civic."
An automatic transmission is on the way for the 2.4-liter, but it isn't clear when. And while Honda admits that the 2.0-liter is underpowered and Automotive News says it's on the way out, the company hasn't yet said how that situation will be corrected.

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.
