One-owner, garage-kept, recently detailed, 2005 Honda Element EX AWD in Magnesium Metallic with 134,800 miles. Dealer maintained car with service records available. Great over all condition. Clean Illinois title.

Drivetrain - Runs good, drives great. No smoke on start-up, or any unusual ticks or rattles. Transmission shifts smoothly and effortlessly. The 2.4L K24A4 engine has a timing chain, so there's no timing belt(s) to replace. The serpentine belt looks a little worn, but it does not squeak. Should be good for a year or two. Engine bay is very clean. No fluid leaks. Engine oil change service is due in about 3,000 miles. I'd also recommend a transmission fluid flush as a preventative measure, but the car runs great.

Suspension/Brakes - Rides well. Shocks/dampers/springs in good condition (no leaks). Newer tires with 75% tread and even wear. Recently aligned, tracks straight and true. Good brakes with plenty of pad life left. Rotors are a little warped, but not noticeable under normal conditions.

Interior - Very clean. Nothing is cracked, sticky, or broken. Non-smoker. No foul smells or odors. No cracks on the dashboard, and all plastics are clean and glossy. Upholstery has recently been shampooed and shows no stains or marks. The vinyl seat material is cracked on the lower left seat bottom, but it hasn't torn through. There are a few nicks and scratches on some panels, but everything is otherwise in excellent condition. Floor liner is clean with no rips or tears. The fold-out/removeable seats work like a charm. Like all Honda Elements, the car has a pop-up moonroof in the back. Awesome car for camping.

Electronics - Everything works (as it should). Newer battery. Keyless entry/alarm has good range. 270 watt CD/MP3 disc player with powered sub-woofer and Aux/iPod input sounds great, with no blown speakers. All interior and exterior lights work. No check-engine lights or diagnostic trouble codes. Air conditioning blows cold and strong. Hot, hot heat.

Body/Paint/Glass - Excellent condition. Paint has recently been professionally clayed, sealed, glazed and waxed and shows deep gloss and shine. Like looking into a mirror. Plastic panels are deep black and show no fading. All glass is original with privacy tint in the back. Windshield does have a few nicks and a small crack in the lower driver's side corner, but it's been that way for about two years now. It hasn't grown since then. The crack is out of sight, but I thought I'd mention it. There's a few dings on the doors, but you'd be hard pressed to find and/or notice them. Wheels are in great condition, no brake dust stains or curb rash. We had one center cap stolen from the car a year ago (these normally don't come off), but you can buy a set of four off Amazon for $20 shipped.

Miscellaneous - All OEM literature (even the sales brochure!) is present and accounted for. Window stickers, booklets, manuals, quick-reference guides, etc. (check out the photo gallery below). Carfax is clean and available (send me a message and I'll send it to you for FREE). Service history is available. Have wheel locks and the wheel lock key.

Asking $8,250 or best offer. Price is already below book value, but I'm open to other offers.

Test drives welcome! I invite you to view the car personally, or send an inspector. You won't be disappointed.

Cash, or certified/cashier's check only. Sold as-is. No warranties expressed or implied.

Contact me through the provided eBay e-mail. I usually respond within the hour. Showings by appointment only. I will be available throughout the week.

Thanks for looking!

Honda CR-V updated for 2015

Mon, 22 Sep 2014

The CR-V was first introduced way back in the mid-90s, but Honda has done a good job of keeping it fresh. Now four generations in, the CR-V has been replaced every four or five years. And though the latest version just arrived on the scene a couple of years ago, Honda's giving it a refresh for the 2015 model year.
We've already spied these changes, but now, the Japanese automaker has officially released the image you see above, showing the updated 2015 CR-V with some cosmetic enhancements. The chrome bar at the bottom of the grille integrates smartly with the LEDs outlining the projector-beam headlights, capping a reshaped front bumper with new fog lamps.
Of course, the wheels and mirror caps have been redone as well, but we'll have to wait until Honda releases the full monte to see what the new CR-V looks like around back, inside and under the hood. All Honda is confirming at the moment is that the revised styling "portends the significant enhancements made to the 2015 CR-V" and that it will release further information on September 30 before the updated model goes on sale October 1, so watch this space for more.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014



Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.

NHTSA investigating 343,000 Honda Odyssey minivans

Sat, 06 Jul 2013

The recall bug could strike Honda again as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened another investigation concerning the Odyssey minivan. Honda has already recalled 59,000 Odysseys from the 2012 and 2013 model years due to a shift interlock issue, and another 320,000 of the minivans from 2003-04 are being investigated for faulty airbags. Now, TheDetroitBureau.com is reporting that NHTSA is taking a look at the 2007-08 Odyssey for a problem associated with the brakes.
This investigation reportedly includes 343,000 Odysseys that could be suffering from an unexpected application of the brakes. According to the article, at least 22 people have reported such an issue, and in five cases, dealers found a trouble code associated with the steering angle sensor - part of the anti-lock brake and stability control systems. There is still no indication as to whether or not this will become a recall, but Honda has already recalled more than 1.8 million units this year.
