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 speeds towards its dreams with new Civic Type R Concept [w/videos]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

A war is coming. It's been brewing for some time between the top-performing hot hatches, and will be determined by the ultimate bragging rights: the lap record at the Nürburgring for front-drive cars. Renault claimed it and reclaimed it again with successive versions of the Megane RS, then Seat took it by some margin with the new Leon Cupra. But this could take it from both.
It's the new Honda Civic Type R - or at least a conceptual preview of the one to follow. We drove an early prototype of the forthcoming Japanese hot hatch while in town for the Tokyo Motor Show a few months ago, where Honda made no secret of its Eiffel-bound aspirations. Now it has taken a big step closer with the concept you see here.
Previewing the extreme styling that will set the next Type R apart from ordinary Civics (or the European-spec hatchback on which it's based), the concept has a giant rear spoiler, enlarged grilles, hood vents and widened fenders packing both 20-inch alloys and additional air vents.

Honda Jazz looks like a good fit for Paris

Wed, 17 Sep 2014

The quirky, utilitarian little hatchback that we know as the Honda Fit in the US carries the more melodious Jazz name in Europe. And while the newest Fit is already on sale in our market, folks are still waiting for it across the pond. Honda is unveiling its new Jazz Prototype to the 2014 Paris Motor Show in October, and it's nearly identical to what is currently on sale in North America. In fact, it's hard to image Honda changing much from this "prototype" before launching it for Europeans.
The Jazz's design is exactly what you would expect after even a glance at the current North American Fit. Except for a different wing at the rear, a shark fin antenna and a new set of wheels, this Jazz plays the same tune we've heard before.
The one thing keeping the Fit and Jazz from truly being identical siblings is that the European model packs Honda's new 1.3-liter i-VTEC Earth Dreams engine under the hood, rather than the 1.5-liter used in North America. But just like our Fit, the Jazz will be available with a six-speed manual or CVT. The Japanese automaker says that the Jazz goes on sale in the summer of 2015. Scroll down to read the company's announcement for its upcoming hatch.

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.
