Excellent Condition, Black Ext., Grey Int., Navigation on 2040-cars

Year:2012 Mileage:43000

Cape May, New Jersey, United States

This van runs great, is in excellent condition, and looks great.  We have kids and there is normal wear and tear inside the vehicle.  There has been no smoking in the vehicle.  I don't even have a list of items that are wrong with the van because there is nothing wrong with it to my knowledge.  

We hit a deer last year and had cosmetic work done (replaced windshield, front bumper, hood, other minor stuff) by an insurance certified dealer / mechanic (Toyota dealer). Also, we replaced the passenger sliding door with a NEW door in 2013 as well (done by Honda). I have all the paperwork.  The oil / regular service has been done on schedule.  The air bags did not go off because the impact was minimal and nothing beyond cosmetic work, as noted by the insurance inspectors / mechanic.  

WARRANTY:  
A.  The initial 3-year / 36,000 mile bumper to bumper is expired because of the miles.  

B.  If you purchase this van, I will pay you $100 to offset / cover the cost of having a mechanic inspect the vehicle.  

C.  Further, if anything is wrong with the engine in the first 10,000 miles that you own this van, I'll pay you up to $2,000 dollars to assist with repairs.  I have two of these vans and am confident that this van is in excellent shape and that you are getting a good, fair deal.  

The tires are original and are getting close to life expectancy / need for replacement.  I had the oil changed last week and the mechanic felt they were okay for a few thousand more miles.  

It has the Honda Navigation system (awesome), hands-free phone capabilities, satellite radio capability, and Ipod adaptor / connector in glove box .  It does NOT have the DVD system.  It does have the sunroof, heated front seats, and power everything.  

I've priced it just below the low end of the KBB value range ($24,700 - $28,400).  

Lesson Learned:  The local dealers are offering only $20,000 for trade in / purchase because the cosmetic work / accident shows up on the Carfax report.  It's unfortunate that the value is impacted that much because the van has NO evidence (mechanical or visual) that anything occurred.  However, I suspect that the van will be sitting on the dealer's lot, within minutes, with a $28,000 sticker price and the accident will be disclosed as "not a big deal," because it was not a big deal.  

I am straight forward and am genuinely concerned that a fair deal is done.  I'm not willing to jeopardize my integrity for a couple thousand dollars. If you are interested, please get  the van thoroughly inspected by a Honda dealer and you will find out what I already know about this van: it is good-to-go.

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.

Design Handbook explains the difference between design and styling

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

It's easy to confuse the terms 'design' and 'style,' but Jim Hall attempts to explain the difference between the two in his latest Design Handbook video column for Autoline. Before relating the terms to cars, Hall first uses other, non-automotive-related examples to prove his point, such as a well-designed glass versus a well-styled glass. Both do their job well as a result of good designs, he claims, but one stands out more because it also was styled.
When he relates his lesson to cars, he uses the 2013 Honda Accord and the new Chevrolet Impala as examples, but you'll have to watch the video below to find out which car he thinks is merely designed and which one has been styled.
We've also included a gallery of the Honda and a gallery of the Chevrolet so you can decide for yourself which one of these vehicles has been designed, and which one has been styled.

105-year-old Facebook user gifted new car anonymously

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

105-year-old Edythe Kirchmaier is quite a woman. Not only is she California's oldest driver - she just renewed her license this January after passing the test without incident - she has a perfect 86-year driving record without so much as a parking violation. In fact, she's been driving for so long that she learned how on a Ford Model T (how many people alive today have even driven one of those, much less learned on one?). On top of all that, Edythe is a philanthropist; she's been volunteering at Direct Relief, which provides free medications for people in need, for 40 years. You may have even seen her on TV earlier this year spreading the word.
So when Edythe's 1997 minivan began breaking down, an anonymous fan did what any completely selfless person of means would: they gifted her a brand-new 2013 Honda Civic, ensuring that Edythe can continue working for the cause she loves. Check her out on Facebook - she's the social media site's oldest registered user - and scroll down to the press release for more on this heartwarming story.
