Here's the barn find you've been looking for! Well, not exactly, but really better. I bought this car not long ago locally from the 2nd owner who knew the original local owner and had to buy it off of him b/c he knew how well he took care of it. They'd been driving it locally so it's been staying in service but getting low miles. Has only 169k!(I'm still driving so it will move up some). All stock except for recent radio change and I have all of that to go with the car(original equipment was hardly putting out sound anymore). Bought new radio with remote and all new speakers. Interior is in great condition. It's been recently repainted because it was fading. Clean history. It's very hard to find a 1989 car that has not been in an accident, but it's been only adult driven it's whole life. Original engine blew head gasket and then ran hot so it's been replaced with same level engine. Documentation on nearly everything that's been done to this thing as far as maintenance and repairs going back to the day it left the dealer's lot. Only 4 adults have ever driven this car, and it has not been dogged out. You can tell the previous owners really cared for the car. All interior trim there, console in good condition!! Most everything works, even the sunroof and a/c!!! Over $4000 has been spent on this car over the last year or so just keeping it in top shape. New CV axles, clutch, radiator, engine (have most of that paperwork too), that was gone through before it went in, etc etc. This car has been gone through, I could go on and on. You won't believe the detail previous owners left. Paperwork. Books. This is one of the very few si's left in the US in this type of condition. It's not perfect, but it's among the best you'll see that hasn't been messed with.
I'm having a hard time choosing to sell it b/c I know sooner or later I'll kick myself for ever letting this one go. Just running out of room for vehicles, something's got to go and I have children...smallest car should probably go. Do some checking and you'll see these cars in good condition normally go for $4-5-6-7-8K depending on various factors. This car isn't collectible caliber I don't guess (I'm not a car collector or know but about that) but I've seen hundreds to several thousand in person or online and this one is in a condition that I've hardly seen in the last few years. But please don't go by my judgement, as I know everyone has different standards. Just look at the pics and judge yourself. The car's been in western NC it's entire life until the last short while that I've had it. Other than those two rust areas, the underside of the car has virtually no rust at all! Not in the rocker panels either!

Honda previews new BR-V three-row crossover for Indonesia
Tue, Jun 30 2015Honda is planning to roll out a new seven-seat crossover in Indonesia. But before it does, it's giving the public a taste of what's to come with a concept to be unveiled in Tangerang, previewed in the pair of teaser renderings you see here. Dubbed the BR-V prototype (for Bold Runabout Vehicle), the Honda concept calls for a three-row crossover with room for seven passengers – just like the Pilot we get over here. But if the design sketches are anything to go by, it'll look better. We'll reserve final judgement on the styling until the actual thing is unveiled in the metal, though. Full technical specifications are likely still a ways off from being announced. However the Japanese automaker and its Indonesian importer have confirmed that the BR-V will be powered by a 1.5-liter gasoline engine of unspecified output, mated to a choice of two transmission options. We don't know whether one of those might include all-wheel drive or not, but Honda has indicated that it's built high ground clearance into the BR-V – which ought to keep it from being confused with the low-riding Subaru BRZ, to say nothing Honda's other similarly named crossovers like the CR-V or HR-V. That's about all we know for the time being, but the BR-V promises "to address various customer needs" with "a tough and solid exterior design" combined with a "comfortable and spacious cabin." Locals can start anticipating its unveiling at the Gaikindo Indonesian International Auto Show in Tangerang this August, when P.T. Honda Prospect Motor will already open up the order books.

Honda Prospect Motor released the first official sketches of the all-new Honda BR-V Prototype which will make its world premiere at the upcoming Gaikindo Indonesian International Auto Show 2015, scheduled for 20 - 30 August 2015, in Tangerang, Indonesia. The new BR-V was jointly developed for the Asian market by Honda R&D Asia Pacific Co., Ltd., in Thailand, and P.T. Honda R&D Indonesia. This model will be introduced to the Indonesian market as Honda's new generation crossover utility vehicle to address various customer needs. The new BR-V features tough and solid exterior design with high ground clearance, big and stylish alloy wheels and sleek roof rails. The model also offers a comfortable and spacious cabin with seven seats in a 3-row configuration.
Honda museum opens at company HQ in SoCal, first public day is next month
Tue, Sep 12 2023You don't see too many ordinary cars in automotive museums, and it makes sense. Rare luxury models, iconic muscle cars and obviously collectible vehicles are far more likely to get preserved and find themselves parked upon a climate-controlled pedestal someday. And yet, even if they may not be as collectible, everyday cars typically strike a stronger emotional and nostalgic chord in all of us. They firmly recall a specific time in our lives; what we were doing and where we were. Even if we never owned the car in question, ordinary cars were bound contribute to the overall landscape of your world. Which is why finding a museum devoted to ordinary cars such a treat. Now, "ordinary" can have negative connotations, so perhaps "ubiquitous" is better to describe what you'll find in the new American Honda Collection Hall at the company's headquarters in Torrance, Calif. As you can see in the gallery above, there are pristine examples of the Hondas we grew up in, learned to drive in, brought us to college ... and those are just my own personal examples. Of course, there are also decidedly less ordinary examples such as the S2000 CR, Civic Type-R Limited Edition and Acura NSX, but apart from perhaps the latter, it would be rare for you to see such "Radwood-era" cars in a museum. You can also see some of the cars we've actually had the chance to review here on Autoblog: the 1999 Honda Prelude, the 1999 Honda Civic Si, the 1985 Honda CRX Si, and a handful of others. According to Carl Pulley, who is the steward of the collection, the cars on display are just a taste of what is actually available since space was limited within the Collection Hall that's adjacent to HQ's primary lobby. He'll be able to swap different cars in or adopt a theme such as prominent examples from Honda's motorsports endeavors. Indeed, it isn't just Honda and Acura road cars -- we're just focusing on those because, you know, Autoblog. There are race cars, noteworthy motorcycles and even power equipment such as marine engines, generators and weed whackers. While most car companies have a collection stored someplace, this one will actually be open to the public on a limited but regular basis. There will be scheduled "Cars, Bikes & Coffee" events hosted at the Collection Hall where people are invited to drive or ride their own piece of Honda history (all makes and eras are still welcome) to show off in Honda HQ's vast parking lot and come inside to check out the Collection Hall.
Honda China struggling with high-end Accord because Chinese covet German cars, too
Sun, 06 Jul 2014It's not particularly unusual to see cheap cars in China, or those with designs stolen from foreign competitors, but increasingly the best-selling vehicles there would be very recognizable to just about any auto enthusiast. There appears to be one fact of life whether looking at car buyers in Sacramento, Stuttgart or Shanghai: People who can afford to buy premium cars often look first at the Germans.
Honda recently thought that it could challenge this perceived wisdom by including a premium Accord in the ninth-generation sedan's Chinese launch last year. The market-exclusive version was priced against the Audi A4. The venture failed, miserably.
According to Automotive News China, sales for the new Accord in China are down 37 percent through May of this year. Honda's overall sales are actually up by about 11 percent there on the strength of smaller, less profitable models. However, the company is still off its forecast 19-percent rise.
