 Rare, low mileage, late 1997 Honda del Sol with VTEC DOHC engine in excellent condition. Five-speed manual transmission. Targa top, stows in the trunk.

Own a sports car without the hassle of high repair bills!

I bought the car from its original owner @ 24,000 miles in 2003. It now has 88,000 miles on it. It is extremely unusual to find a Honda del Sol VTEC for sale with low miles, especially one in such good condition. To my knowledge, this car has never been in an accident, nor has it ever been driven outside the state of California. It has been meticulously maintained in full compliance with the Honda recommended maintenance schedule by Robert DiMauro in Goleta California.

CarFax shows "title updated" in 2012. That was to remove my ex-husband's name from the title. This car has had only two owners: the original purchaser (1997-2003), and myself (2003 to present).

Features:
* Cruise control
* Driver and passenger air bags
* Power windows
* Air conditioning
* New speakers
* Super cool "rear window" that goes up/down behind the seats
* Surprisingly spacious trunk for a sports car
* Added car alarm with kill switch
* Added 6 CD changer
* Newer tires

The car rides low to the ground, which makes it prone to getting "rock dings" on the front end. I had the front end re-painted last year for this reason. I have an OEM "bra" which I'll give to the successful buyer.

This car takes premium fuel only. Gas mileage is mid- to upper-20s or better per gallon, depending on how aggressively you drive it. Good luck with that ;-).

Honda, Nissan and Mazda recalling 3 million vehicles for airbag inflators

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Three million more vehicles can be added to the worldwide tally to be repaired for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata. Honda, Nissan, and Mazda have all issued recalls to replace the bad part, including about 1.2 million of them in North America. NHTSA has been investigating all three companies, plus Chrysler and Toyota, for potentially affected vehicles.
Honda is recalling roughly 1.02 million Civic, CR-V, Odyssey and Element models In North America, built between April 2000 and October 2002. Mazda needs to repair 14,794 units of the RX-8 and Mazda6, and Nissan has 228,000 vehicles in North America to be fixed.
Chrysler is also starting what it calls a "regional field action" to replace the inflators in the 2006 Dodge Charger, according to a company spokesperson. The company says that it has not yet found the problem in any of its vehicles, but it's being done "out of an abundance of caution." The final number of Chargers affected will be announced later this week.

Honda could halve its US lineup without crimping its sales much [w/video]

Sat, 18 May 2013

Taking a detailed look at the Honda lineup in the US, it isn't hard to see the strength of some models and the weaknesses of others. A recent report on Autoline Daily points out that its five core models - the Accord, Civic, CR-V, Odyssey and Pilot - make up a full 93 percent of Honda's sales in the US. Through April, Honda has sold 419,798 vehicles, and 389,474 of them were from these core models; not to mention the fact that the Accord was the top-selling car in the US last month.
This means that Honda could technically cut six of its 11 models and only lose about 5,000 sales per month. Of course, this is just some data crunching and there is no reason to believe that Honda is planning to kill off any of its models in the near future. In fact, it seems to be committed to the Ridgeline, while Japanese-made models that may actually lose money for Honda still fill unique voids. Scroll down for the video report - fast-forward to the 1:43 mark for the Honda info.

New Odyssey ads feature Honda Vac, star power

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

Honda has released a string of new ads highlighting its refreshed, 2014 Odyssey minivan. While the Japanese brand hasn't started bragging about attaining the first Top Safety Pick+ for minivans, it's all too happy to brag about another first - the world's first van with a built-in vacuum cleaner.
In three spots, anthropomorphic children's rubbish discusses the merits of the new minivan, only to be sucked up by the built-in vacuum, which is only available in the top-end Touring Elite model. There's also quite a bit of star power floating around for those that watch a lot of TV. Neil Patrick Harris from Doogie Howser, MD and How I Met Your Mother voices a character in one of the spots, while Rainn Wilson from The Office stars in another. Take a look below for all three ads from Honda.
