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.

Acura built just 91 examples of the ILX last month, here's why

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

The short life of the Acura ILX has been vexed by one glaringly odd standard equipment choice, mediocre reviews, getting outsold by its competition as it posted slower-than-projected sales and a pledge by Honda to upgrade its supposedly upgraded offering. Therefore, when Automotive News reports that just 91 of the Civic-based Acura sedans were manufactured last month - after a string of production months in double-digits - it would be easy to press the button for the alarm bells.
But that would be hasty, because it is actually the 2013 Honda Civic that is crimping the production pipeline of the ILX. The vastly higher sales numbers of the Honda meant that all three North American plants that produce it needed to crank up output to satisfy dealer inventory needs, including the Greenburg, Indiana plant that makes both the Civic and the ILX. As the classic guns-vs-butter Economy 101 lesson taught us - in which making more of one necessarily means making less of the other - well, the Civic is the gun.
Honda prepared for this eventuality by cranking out the Acuras while it got ready for Civic production. The ILX has held steady at about 500 units shy of company projections every month, and the current inventory represents about 90 days worth of sales. That makes Greenburg's ostensibly low numbers in line with the realities of the ILX, and the situation probably won't change much as Acura gets ready for the improved 2014 ILX.

Honda and Acura render their future visions for Shanghai

Mon, 08 Apr 2013

With the Shanghai Motor Show coming up later this month, Honda has released a couple of teaser sketches for two concept vehicles that will be making global debuts. Aside from the renderings, there is no information about either the Honda or Acura concept vehicles, but we can tell that both are some sort of utility vehicle, be they of crossover or people-mover variety.
The text for both images indicates that both concepts show future products that will be launched in China, but there is no mention as to what other markets the automaker has planned for these vehicles. In addition to these two concepts, the NSX Concept and 2014 RLX from Acura will make their Chinese debuts, and Honda says it "will display models substantially identical to the mass-production version of the Concept C and Concept S." The Concept C is will be a "middle-class" sedan built for China, and the Concept S, an MPV that will primarily serve China as well.

2013 Honda Fit Sport

Revisiting The Runabout Of Record
The current Honda Fit has been around the block a few times. The subcompact hatch has soldiered on without significant revision since its first update for US customers in 2009, and while Honda is on the verge of launching a third generation, we thought we'd take the time to see how the runabout stacks up against the new wave of small, efficient and plucky five-doors now on the American market. Those include old standbys like the Nissan Versa and Toyota Yaris, as well as relative newcomers like the Chevrolet Sonic and Ford Fiesta.
Those machines may have all covered ground on the Fit, but Honda's wee machine holds a pleasant surprise for those buyers still willing to give the car the time of day. While the rest of the Japanese automaker's lineup has succumbed to dreaded model bloat, the Fit has remained true to the spirit of Honda that we remember from our vagabond youths. This may very well still be the closest genetic ancestor to the Civic models of old.
