I bought this CRX in January 2013 because I've always wanted a first generation CRX that wasn't a flintstone mobile and this one came up as a super original car. No drivetrain swaps, not even a cone airfilter. The only "enhancements" are the eightiestastic louvers on the hatch and a 1980s high quality stereo install. Reason for sale - I don't use it much anymore and am consolidating my fleet so I can buy a "proper" race car.

161k on the odometer, I'm the third owner, was bought new in Texas (dealer sticker still on the car and the somewhat dog eared original owners manual confirms that), lived out in Fallon NV for a long time. Typical Southwestern car issues (dry/shrunk rubber), paint on the hood is faded and has been polished through to the primer on one "ridge" of the hood. I've had the timing belt changed shortly after I bought it and changed out the original shocks for a set of KYB GR2s as the original shocks had exceeded their "throw away by date" by at least a decade. It rides like one of these little buzzboxes should, always starts and generally just works like a Honda should.

At some point the speakers that were part of the original 80s install were replaced and someone cut holes in the doorcards for the speakers. Things like that upset me, so I sourced a set of uncut door cars in good condition and the correct color. Of course they come with the car. The previous owner also tried to "repair" the sun visors by putting in new material and then stitching them together (please see photo). Unfortunately I have not found a good set of sun visors to replace these.

I also had the pedal mechanism replaced with a good used one as the one that is original to the car suffered from the usual broken welds.

Known issues:

a/c compressor works but is rattling. I don't think it's long for this world
Rear window wiper and washer jet not working
Clunking noise from the passenger side rear shock as I reused the top mounting rubbers and they have a little play
The front rubber lip is missing
It has a little rust in the bottom corners of the windshield frame. Please see pictures
A couple of small cracks in the fenders and the front panel. Please see pictures, the cracking is very minimal.
Err. That's it.

Car comes with two uncut door cards, rear speaker mounts and covers, replacement front Brembo disks, Porterfield R4S pads and calipers.

Car is in Carson City, NV. If you want to do a fly&drive, I'm happy to pick you up from the airport in Reno, NV.

Clear and clean NV title in hand. Please let me know if you require more photos of specific areas of the car, I'm happy to send them to you if necessary. Also, if you want to inspect the car in person please contact me so we can arrange to meet up.

Very reasonable reserve price.

Mazda3 sales off to rocky start despite massive critical acclaim

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Like just about every other auto publication we've seen, we loved the way the Mazda3 drove when we reviewed it a few months ago, but those glowing reviews apparently aren't helping its sales. The new compact may be falling victim to a sales war between the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, with the newcomer getting squeezed out by those with more established names and bigger marketing budgets.
According to Automotive News, Mazda3 sales have fallen every month since last August, and its sales are down 27 percent in the first two months of 2014. It certainly isn't helping that the entire compact segment is down five percent this year as well.
The biggest problem for the new model seems to be its price compared to rivals. Mazda is not offering the incentives that are on the hood of competitors. With the previous generation, the company offered more than $2,700 on the hood to move them out, but the current model only carries about $1,233 in markdowns, according to AN.

Honda demonstrates driverless valet parking system with special Fit EVs

Sat, 26 Oct 2013

There are many challenges that will need to be sorted out before full autonomous driving becomes a reality, but automakers are taking small steps toward this advancement with semi-autonomous technologies. Nissan, Toyota and Ford have already revealed various automated driving systems, and now Honda is getting into the game with an automatic valet parking system that was unveiled recently at the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) World Congress in Tokyo.
Unlike Ford's recently demonstrated self-parking Focus, which is fully operational on its own, Honda's new system requires input from the parking lot via cameras. Combining information provided by the car's rearview camera as well as cameras positioned around the parking lot, drivers are able to drop their car off at a central location, and using a touchscreen display, the car can park itself and return when the driver is ready to leave. The benefit of this is that multiple cars can be parked at the same time and no additional sensors (other than a backup camera) are needed for the car, but the downside is that it can only operate on properly equipped parking lots. According to Honda's demonstration, this system can be practical by 2020.
Honda also showed off some semi-autonomous driving and non-contact electric vehicle recharging technologies at the ITS World Congress, although information is limited and there are no demonstrations available. Scroll down to read more about Honda's latest tech, including a video demonstration of the automatic valet parking system.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
