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.

Honda already working on NSX roadster

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

Honda doesn't do many convertibles. There was the original Sports 360, the Civic del Sol, the S2000 and the Beat. But so far, that's pretty much it. The previous NSX was offered with a targa-style top, but the latest reports indicate that the Japanese automaker is already working on a proper convertible version of the new NSX, to be sold once again as an Acura in North America and a Honda in other markets.
Although it's not yet known whether the NSX roadster will offer a hard or soft top, sources indicate that it won't be a mere removable roof panel. Whatever form it does take, however, expect it to arrive a good couple of years after the tin-top version launches in 2015 with a similar form to the concept but with different underpinnings and a radical interior.

Honda issues second Fit window recall, this time for 143k units

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Honda has announced it is recalling certain 2007-2008 Fit models in the US to fix what could have been faulty repairs made in a previous round of recalls. The vehicles may have been manufactured with a master driver's window switch that could allow rain water or spilled liquids into the switch. If that happens, the liquids could cause the switch to overheat, melt and potentially damage the vehicle's wiring or cause a fire. Honda says no accidents or injuries have been reported due to the problem, but warns owners to park their Fit hatchbacks outside until a dealer can inspect the switch.
All told, the recall covers 143,083 Fit units. Back in 2010, Honda recalled the 2002-2008 model-year Fit for the same issue. That recall covered some 646,000 units worldwide after a two-year-old child in Cape Town, South Africa burnt to death while sleeping in a Fit. Honda says the repair made during that round of recalls may not have been sufficient, and the latest fix should take care of the problem for good.
You can read the full press release on the latest round of recalls below for more information.

No S660 for US, but Honda wants sporty cars

Mon, Aug 31 2015

Honda, best known lately for being a mainstream player rather than the brand that brought us the CRX Si, NSX, Integra Type-R, and S2000, apparently wants to builds sporty cars for the US again. With that in mind (or not), Honda has ruled out bringing the tiny, sporty S660 roadster across the Pacific. "I wouldn't put my chips on [the S660]," American Honda Executive Vice President John Mendel told Automotive News. At nearly 11.1 feet long, the S660 slots in between the 12.8-foot Mazda MX-5 Miata and the 8.8-foot Smart ForTwo. Yet Mendel says the tiny two-seater wouldn't work here. "When the practicalities of the market come in, and the car only so big, that might not be the best car for the US market," Mendel said. "It might be better for India or China or somewhere else." Honda is considering its options here in the US, though. As AN reports, after his takeover earlier this year, new CEO Takahiro Hachigo promised more sporting models, like the new, US-bound, 300-horsepower Civic Type R. And while it's no secret that Honda has filed patent drawings for a mid-engine model, Mendel offered little to indicate that it'd become a reality. Calling the project from Honda's Silicon Valley research and design facility a "design study," Mendel wouldn't answer AN when it asked whether this new model was successor to the S2000 or a more attainable, lower-powered NSX. He did, however, say his company was getting pressure from dealers over the lack of verve in the company's lineup. "They want anything in the sports car world," Mendel told AN. "They're going, 'Gimme a sports car.' They want a retractable hardtop; they want a high-horsepower $20,000 sports car. Because that's the nature of what they do." There you are, Honda. Your dealers want it, which means your consumers are probably are asking for it, and your CEO wants it, too. Make something happen.
