1999 Honda Civic Ex Coupe 2-door 1.6l on 2040-cars
Harleysville, Pennsylvania, United States
|
For sale my 1999 civic EX. I have owned the car for 5 years and have never had any major issues with it.
I just put a timing belt on it as well as a water pump 10,000 miles ago. New brakes front and back within the last year. Everything works on the car: power steering, power locks, power windows, sun roof, CD player, cruise etc. AC I haven't used in several months but it did work last time I used it although the compressor belt squealed a bit and needs to be tightened. Never had to recharge it in the 5 years I owned the car. I've done all my own work to this car so far. The transmission shifts well, and has shifted the same way it does now since I bought the car. I change that fluid every 30k. The motor runs great, no issues there either. The shifter is a little stiff sometimes (probably the coffee I spilled on it). Car gets good gas mileage. New battery. There are some issues to speak of, and here's the story on that. I recently moved from NJ to PA and put the car into inspection. The front end and brakes all checked out (although I do feel some pulsing in them, probably a warped rotor). They did an alignment. Because the windshield has a circle blemish from a stone hitting it, as well as a long crack, they wanted to replace it. The rear right tire also is out of alighment, and they wanted to replace some bushings to get it right. It does pull to the right because of that. Last, where the muffler mates up with the B pipe, there is an exhuast leak and really it needs to be welded, patched or replaced to pass (otherwise I would just leave it). You can hear it, its noticeable but not super loud. Back before I moved out to PA I had a garage and I would just do this myself in an afternoon, but now I live at an apartment complex and you can't even open your hood without somebody calling the office, so I haven't touched anything. I commute 200 miles a day, so this car was my answer to banging out those miles on a car I figured wasn't going to suffer much in value by putting a bunch more miles on it. Because the inspection is going to cause me to spend money on the car, I decided to sell it. I'm reasonably confident it would pass NJ inspection without much trouble. Summary: Everything works. Runs great, shifts well. Has been well maintained. Body is ok, has dents. Missing a couple of hubcovers. looks ok in a parkinglot. Interior pretty good, seats are almost perfect, floor has some stains. Does need some work: Needs rear alignment parts (bushings on trailing arm I'm told). Has exhaust leak at muffler to b pipe area (which by the way I made a shade tree fix to in a friend's driveway which will hold out for probably as long as you need it to). Windshield is cracked and blemished. One other thing, the previous owner had (a rather annoying) alarm system that I removed from the car. For whatever reason, any time you open the door to the car it makes the "you left your keys in the ignition" chime. Could probably figure out why, I never bothered. If I were the next guy to own this car and I had to pass PA inspection, I'd get a junkyard windshield, patch the B pipe and repair the rear alignment myself. If other state inspection, I'd probably forget about everything but the alignment and just drive it. This car has a lot of life left in it. Feel free to ask any questions. |

Analysts say Honda's growing woes in Europe not just the economy
Tue, 12 Feb 2013There is no denying that the European auto market is taking its lumps right now - just ask Peugeot - but Honda might be taking this downturn on the chin a little harder than some of the other Japanese automakers doing business on the continent. Automotive News Europe is reporting that things have gotten so bad for Honda that it will be cutting 800 workers from Swindon, England plant that builds the CR-V, Civic and Jazz (a.k.a. Fit). This will be the first time Honda has made such cuts in more than 20 years.
Despite an increase in output last year over 2011 (165,607 units compared to 97,459), the Swindon plant is still running well below its full capacity (250,000/year), and its 66 percent capacity is less than the expected breakeven point of industry analysts (75 to 80 percent). Unlike in the US, however, Honda's new CR-V and Civic aren't selling well, and the similarly sized Nissan Qashqai is outselling the CR-V at a rate of more than five to one. Slow CR-V sales are blamed on a relatively high price and the crossover's conservative styling. On the complete opposite side of the spectrum, the report notes that Nissan continues to experience growth at its UK operations, leading analysts to suggest that Honda can't blame the sour economy for much of its woes.
eBay Find of the Day: Why this motorcycle's a deal at $135k
Mon, 10 Feb 2014There can be no doubt that Soichiro Honda left a lasting legacy by lending his engineering talents to the company that bears his name. This can be said particularly of motorcycles, and the company outdid itself when it introduced the 1969 CB750. Widely considered the world's first superbike, it combined a then-powerful 67-horsepower, 736cc, inline four-cylinder engine and cutting edge tech for motorcycles at the time like an electric start and front disc brake. It is simply one of the most important motorcycles ever made, and now one of four handmade prototypes is up for auction on eBay Motors.
According to the seller, Honda had an idea that it had something special with the CB750 and built four preproduction models to be shown off to American media in 1968. Each one was hand-built by Honda technicians from bespoke components, and this blue/green model was photographed by magazines and for promotional material at the time. The seller believes that one of the four prototypes was destroyed, one is in Europe and one is unknown, which means this may be the only chance for collectors to get their hands on one.
The bike has prompted quite a bidding war with 97 bids registered as of this writing. With about seven hours left to go in the auction, the top big currently sits at $135,300. At this rate, things could get very exciting at the end. Although to own a prototype for the first super bike, it might be worth it.
Snapshots from Acura NSX prototype run at Mid-Ohio
Mon, 05 Aug 2013Acura's achingly slow showing of the new, hybrid NSX saw yet another step yesterday, as we reported late last week. A powder-blue prototype ran ahead of the open-wheelers at the Honda Indy 200 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Why show the NSX Prototype at Mid-Ohio? Honda's Ohio research and development center, which has taken the lead on NSX development, is just 60 miles from the track. And as race sponsor, Honda must have figured it would give the spectators a glimpse of the new supercar it's been teasing for the better part of a decade.
With a planned launch in 2015 (special emphasis on the "planned" part, considering the NSX's history), the NSX Prototype shown here sports graphics that "speak to Acura's intention to go racing with the new NSX." That's great news for fans of endurance racing, although it remains to be seen when a motorsports program for the new NSX will get off the ground.
Take a look at the fresh gallery of images, and be sure to head over to our original Mid-Ohio post for the video footage of the NSX Prototype on track.
