Hi, I am selling my 1992 Honda Civic with only 135,871 highway miles. It is in great mechanical condition and has been well maintained. It is rare to find a VX with such low miles. The best thing about my VX is that you can average a little over 60 mpg on the highway. I have changed the oil every 3,000 miles. I purchased it last year and have put 35k miles on it. The car drives straight and there is not pull to the right or left on the interstate when you take your hands off the wheel. The suspension is good. The AC blows cold. The tires have 40% tread. The spare tire, jack, and tool kit is included. It has a clear title and has never been in an accident.

I have bought and sold motorcycles, cars, and trucks on ebay in the past. I canceled my ebay account 4 years ago when ebay bought paypal. I had 100% feedback and over 1000 feedback. I just signed up again. That is why I have no feedback. I am a pilot and am pretty good at maintaining my vehicles. Please search "journey rider" on a search engine and you can read my blog about a motorcycle trip from Iowa to Argentina that I did 7 years ago.

For maintenance I have installed an oem NGK oxygen sensor, distributor cap & rotor, Bosch spark plug wires, NGK spark plugs, wiper blades, air filter, and an Interstate Battery. I installed a Sony CD Player with MP3 port and an oil pan heater. The oem oxygen sensor was $400, so please take that into consideration. The cheap ebay knockoff oxygen sensors do not work and you have to spend $400 at the dealer if you want 60 mpg and not 40 mpg. Almost all of the VX's for sale have oxygen sensors that need to be replaced and with an old sensor the mileage goes down to 40 mpg or worse.

As you can see from the pictures my car is in pretty good condition for its age. The paint still shines and has not been faded by the sun. The original owner had the bottom of the car undercoated and that has prevented most areas of the car from rusting. There is no rust in the driver or passenger side door jambs as you can see from the pictures. The only area of the car that has some rust are the rear wheel wells which you can see from the pictures. The car has some dings and blemishes but for the most part is in great condition for its age. There is light hail damage but you can only see it if you are standing a couple feet away from the car.  

The interior is in great condition. The drivers side seat bolster has a patch which you can see in the pictures. Other then the patch there are no rips, tears, or stains in the cloth seats. Everything on the car works. The only problem I can think of is that when you pressure was the back of the car a little bit of water leaks through the seal on the rear window. It doesn't happen in the rain, only when you pressure wash it.

I need a larger car for my job and that is why I am selling my VX, It has served me well. I am only the second owner. The original owner was a university professor. Most of the VX's for sale have questionable maintenance histories. Be cautious of buying one from a dealer or a teenager.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask. If there is a picture that you want to see please let me know and I will email it to you. The final bidder must send a $300 paypal deposit within 48 hours. The remainder needs to to paid with in 10 days. The winning bidder is responsible for picking the car up in person or making shipping arrangements. I can pick you up at Des Moines International Airport. If you pay for the car ahead of time I can also drop it off at a shipper's within a 25 mile radius of Des Moines, IA. The car is to be sold "as is." I have done my best to give an accurate description of the car, but I make no guarantees on any of the information in this description. Serious Bidders Only Please! Thank you

Honda recalls 2.23 million vehicles to replace Takata inflators

Thu, Feb 4 2016

The Basics: Honda and Acura will recall 2.23 million vehicles in the US. The affected models are: 2005-2012 Acura RL 2007-2011 Honda CR-V 2007-2016 Acura RDX (early production MY 2016 vehicles only) 2007-2014 Honda Ridgeline 2009-2014 Honda Fit 2009-2014 Acura TL 2010-2014 Honda FCX Clarity 2010-2014 Honda Insight 2010-2013 Acura ZDX 2011-2015 Honda CR-Z 2013-2016 Acura ILX (early production MY 2016 vehicles only) The Problem: These vehicles have Takata's PSDI-5 airbag inflator on the driver's side, and this part could rupture if the airbag deploys. Injuries/Deaths: There are no reported ruptures of the PSDI-5 inflator in Honda or Acura vehicles. However, Takata's exploding components have links to at least 10 deaths worldwide because they can spray shrapnel at occupants. The Fix: Honda and Acura dealers will replace the inflators with parts from an alternative supplier. If You Own One: The repairs will begin this summer. Owners will receive a letter notifying them about the recall within 60 days and will get a second message when the parts are available. The company will prioritize older models in high-humidity regions first because these inflators would be most likely to rupture. More Information: Honda and Acura have now recalled 8.51 million vehicles in the US to replace their driver or passenger side inflators. This latest expansion came in the wake of a driver death from an airbag rupture in a Ford Ranger. Ford and Mazda already enlarged their safety campaigns. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also announced Audi, BMW, Daimler Vans, Mercedes-Benz, Saab, and Volkswagen would have recalls for this issue, too. Statement by American Honda Regarding Nationwide Recall of Certain Takata PSDI-5 Driver Front Airbag Inflators Feb 3, 2016 - TORRANCE, Calif. Approximately 2.23 million Takata PSDI-5 driver front airbag inflators will require replacement in Honda and Acura vehicles in the U.S. No PSDI-5 inflator ruptures have been reported in Honda or Acura vehicles Takata inflators will be replaced with parts from an alternative supplier with repairs beginning in the Summer of 2016 Based on a recent Defect Information Report (16E-005) from the airbag inflator supplier, Takata, Honda will conduct a national recall (16V-061) of approximately 2.23 million Honda and Acura vehicles in the United States to replace, free of charge to vehicle owners, the PSDI-5 Takata driver front airbag inflators installed in those vehicles.

Honda Insight finally, officially dead

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

Earlier this week, we told you that the Honda Insight was scheduled to get the axe - something that had been rumored for a long time. Now, Honda has officially confirmed that the Insight is being put out of our its misery. That's right, America's most affordable mass-produced hybrid will officially die after the 2014 model year, with production scheduled to end this summer. Honda says that, moving forward, it will focus its efforts on expanding its newer two-motor hybrid system found in the Accord. Of course, this news doesn't exactly give us much hope for the CR-Z hatchback's longevity, either. Scroll down for the official release.
