2001 Honda Prelude Low Mileage Silver Stock Original Clean One Owner on 2040-cars

Year:2001 Mileage:62583
Location:

Dallas, Texas, United States

Dallas, Texas, United States

You are looking at a used 2001 Honda Prelude Base with 5 speed manual transmission and 62,583 original miles. This one-owner vehicle has been garage kept in Dallas, TX its entire life. This vehicle has never been in a collision, nor has it ever experienced a fender bender. The body has no dents, rust, deep scratches, etc. The engine, suspension, body, paint and interior have never been modified from the original stock configuration.  The vehicle have never been raced, ragged out, off-roaded or otherwise abused. It was driven its entire life by an adult, married male who was 31 years old when the vehicle was new, and had driven manual transmission vehicles since age 16. White appearance on door trims is from suntan lotion rubbing on the trim from bare arms and legs.

Maintenance status:
All four tires were replaced in July 2013, and have less than 500 miles on them. New battery in late 2013. The owner changed the engine oil regularly. In the last 10,000 miles it has needed a half-quart between changes (see Bruises and blemishes, below). It was taken to a professional Asian-vehicle-capable mechanic for all other mechanical work. The clutch slave cylinder failed and was replaced at around 32,000 miles.  The AC is cold and has never needed to have been serviced since the vehicle was new.  Clutch, timing belt and brakes are all original.

Keys:
The vehicle has had an two-way aftermarket Astra alarm/remote keyless entry system installed in it, but the two original remote keyless entry key fobs are included. A single one-way alarm key fob (missing the keyring but functional) and a single two-way alarm key fob are included. Both original main keys, the original valet key and the original reprogramming key are included.

Documentation:
The original owners manuals are included.  No formal maintenance records are included.

Bruises and blemishes:
The paint has light scratches and dings from bike rack and doors in parking lots, and small dings on nose from highway travel. The stock stereo no longer plays CDs. The oil pan gasket area is damp and results in an average of a single drop of oil per month on the garage floor.  Front undercarriage guard has taken some hits from parking lot curbs and bottoming out on steep entry aprons -- this is almost unavoidable on a vehicle with such a low ride height.

Additional information regarding odometer history report:
No, I did not put 105,000+ miles on this vehicle in the 12 months between my state inspections in 2004 and 2005. The tech must have typed the value wrong when he input it. I never noticed it, as I never pulled a "CarFax" on this vehicle while I owned it.  It should have been 29,746 at the 2005 inspection. If you believe me, bid with confidence.  If you do not, I'll understand -- please do not bid in that case.

Additional Information on Bidding:
This vehicle is subject to local sale and may be withdrawn at any time. In any event, it will not be listed on eBay again after this auction.  If you are watching it and are interested, please place your bid. If you are planning to wait until auction end to snipe it, it may not be there.  I do have a firm local offer in hand right now.

Honda MC-? prototype

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Honda is less an automaker, it has been said, and more of a motor company that builds vehicles into which to put its engines. That sort of perspective goes a long way towards explaining the mind-boggling diversity of the company's product lineup. The Japanese industrial giant makes lawnmowers, marine engines, robots... even jet aircraft. It's also one of only a handful of companies that makes both cars and motorbikes. We recently had the chance to sample something that falls in between.
It's called MC-β - shorthand for Micro Commuter Beta, which already tells you it's Honda's second stab at the formula. The first Micro Commuter prototype was announced a year prior and, though marginally larger, struck us as a more complete product than its successor. But it'll likely still be a while before the formula is perfected and put into production, and even then it isn't likely to find its way any time soon to Honda's American showrooms - whether those showrooms are selling cars, bikes or ride-on mowers.
Driving Notes

Honda and Mario Andretti cite pedestrians for excessive slowness

Thu, 05 Jun 2014

Honda and the Andretti family have a lot to celebrate at the moment. Andretti Autosport driver Ryan Hunter-Reay won the 2014 Indianapolis 500 in his Honda-powered car, and Marco Andretti, Mario's grandson, also managed to take the third step on the podium. Apparently, the victory is making them feel magnanimous because Honda and Mario Andretti are giving the chance to ride with him in a two-seat, open wheel car.
To promote the contest, they created the Honda Speed Patrol to ticket anyone going too slow. It's an interesting idea, and the chance to ride with Andretti would be the opportunity of a lifetime. Perhaps the biggest shock of the video, though, might be when you realize how short Mario is when you see him milling about in public. Scroll down to watch one of America's most respected racers cite people in Chicago for being too slow.

Honda previews S660 roadster ahead of Tokyo debut

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Honda isn't known for making convertibles. In fact, legend has it that old man Soichiro banned them from his lineup - but then he also didn't approve of six-cylinder engines, either. There have been exceptions, like the Civic del Sol and S2000, and today Honda has revealed another.
Set to debut at the forthcoming Tokyo Motor Show in late November is the Honda S660 concept, a compact little roadster about which Honda is saying even less. It looks about the size of a Kei car, with a nameplate that suggests a 660cc engine, making it more of a revival for the 1990's Beat than the high-end S2000. And while there are some clear similarities with the EV-STER concept that debuted two years ago in Tokyo, the S660 looks closer to production-ready, with key features like an actual steering wheel.
Of course, whether the S660 makes production, and beyond that makes it off of the Japanese islands and across the Pacific to US showrooms, is another matter, but we could see something like this taking the fight to the Mazda MX-5 and even the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ if it did.
