 I have owned this car since 1998, over 16 years!  This is the most reliable car I have ever owned and never left me stranded. EVER.  It was my daily driver for the last 15 of the 16 years I have owned it, and I am only selling it as I have 2 young kids now and cannot put the kids in this car, so I now have a 4 door sedan with child seats.

This car was never raced, never modified.  All OEM, stock except for Brembo brakes and a flowmaster header.  I have the original Honda header and will give you with the car.

I have taken meticulous care of this car, from waxing twice a year, to oil changes every 3000 miles, all done myself. 

What's new:

transmission was rebuilt at 194,000 miles, and has been fantastic and like brand new since.  No issues at all.

radiator and all cooling hoses were replaced around 196,000 miles

15" Goodyear Eagle GT tires have less than 2000 miles on them and are fantastic all season tires.  This is my 3rd set of them!

Just passed NYS inspection

Car is super-clean inside and out.  This was my baby for the last 16 years.  No smoke, no pets, no spilled drinks/food, nothing.  Just clean OEM interior and mats (prelude mats were covered with rubber mats so they are MINT)

- I have an extra set of 14" steel wheels & tires with Honda hub caps, if you want them too - free with sale


Things to consider:

- Engine does burn oil.  Anyone that is familiar with the 1991 2.1 engine is aware that Honda used a new material for the cylinder liners, and this leads to oil consumption, but the engines still run fine, and almost forever.  I run thicker 10W40 high mileage oil and Lucas oil for extra protection and reduced consumption.

- The passenger lock does not open with the key, but can be locked/unlocked from the inside.  The key is worn from so many years of use, but the doors do lock, and there is a working alarm.

- Rust in some spots, (typical Honda rust locations) as described and shown in photos

- Yes, there is a salvage title.  There was when I bought the car in 1998.  I believe the carfax said that it was stolen back in 1993 or so, and recovered.  In the 16 years I have had this car, I have not had any issues related to this.

- There is no warranty, of course.  Neither expressed nor implied.  Car will be sold as-is.

Honda recalling 25k Odyssey minivans over side curtain airbags

Fri, 02 May 2014

Honda's refreshed 2014 Odyssey (now with 100-percent more vacuum power!) launched last year, but is now being called back for issues related to the side curtain airbags. According to Honda, 24,889 Odyssey minivans are affected by an issue that may cause the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light to illuminate or, even worse, cause the side airbags to not deploy in a crash.
What went wrong, exactly? We'll let Honda explain:
During assembly of the electrical coupler for the side curtain airbag on the passenger's side of the vehicle, it is possible that the shorting terminal, which is used to prevent deployment of the airbag before it is assembled into the vehicle, may have been damaged. A damaged shorting terminal may illuminate the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) indicator as well as prevent the side curtain airbag from deploying during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Acura NSX production car headed for Detroit debut?

Tue, 23 Oct 2012

Auto Express is reporting that Honda is set to unveil the production version of its upcoming Acura NSX at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. The news comes courtesy of an unnamed "top exec" for Honda Brazil speaking at the Sao Paulo Motor Show. The concept version of the Japanese supercar is currently on display there. Interestingly enough, the same unnamed source claims the production iteration will remain aesthetically identical to the show car. You won't hear any qualms from us on that front.
Of course, the timing of the production debut is a little confusing. For starters, when Acura unveiled the concept last year, the company told the world it would be at least three years before production began. That would give the street-worthy model a 2014 or 2015 designation, the latter being cited more often in media accounts. Thus, we'll keep an eye out for the hybrid supercar in Motown, but we're going to stop short of holding our breath... it might be a while.

Translogic 189: 2015 LA Auto Show

Tue, Nov 24 2015

The LA Auto Show has become known for its green cars and concepts, and 2015 was no exception. Translogic host Jonathon Buckley gets all the details on BMW's 330e plug-in hybrid straight from BMW President of North America Ludwig Willisch. Then we get up-to-date on Honda's latest FCX Clarity hydrogen fuel cell car. We round out our tour with a stop at the Elio Motors booth for a look at their updated, three-wheel P5 concept and a chat with CEO Paul Elio. But first, we jump in a time machine at the Volvo booth to discuss Concept 26, an interpretation of how car interiors might evolve in the era of self-driving cars. "The reason why we talked about it as a time machine [is] because, really, Concept 26 is giving you back something that is so precious," explained Volvo senior director of design Tisha Johnson. "We're letting you delegate driving to the car, so that you can then have that time to yourself." Click here to learn more about our host, Jonathon Buckley.
