For Sale:  1998 Honda Passport 4WD, Mechanic’s Special.

NOTE:  This car requires repairs to the frame; and should not be driven until the frame has been repaired.  It is also a good source of parts. 

This car has been lovingly restored to the best condition possible, and was a daily driver.  It has 164,000 original miles, and handles well, considering the condition of the frame. 
The following are the problems with the car that I know about: 
  1. Rear wiper does not work
  2. Rear washer does not work
  3. Tailgate is dented (probably the reason for numbers 1 and 2)
  4. Transmission leaks (but it seems to operate normally)
In addition, the car was serviced by the local Honda Dealer last week.  All of the outstanding recalls were fixed to Honda standards; but I was advised by the dealer that they noticed excessive rot on the left rear area of the frame.  The following frame items are either missing or compromised: 
  1. Left rear upper shock absorber mount
  2. Left rear gas tank support
  3. Left upper coil spring retainer
I would estimate that the value of the recall service to be at least $800.  The following were replaced:  alternator, negative battery cable, accelerator pedal pad, and the ABS control module.  The body appears to be solid and complete; and the doors and windows operate as expected. 

A local body shop gave me an estimate of $1000 to have the frame repaired; but I have decided to sell the vehicle instead to someone who can give the car a good home, and may have the skills and equipment necessary to repair the vehicle. 

Everything else on the car works as it should, including all of the four-wheel drive modes, heater, A/C, and cruise control.  The car easily passed a recent emission test, and has a clean title.  The stereo mounting bracket is complete; however, no stereo is currently installed.  I did have a stereo installed for a while, and all of the speakers seemed to work. 

Carfax report available upon request.  I can also provide pictures of the rotted area of the frame if desired. 
 
Kelly Blue Book Private Party Value:  $2760 (for this vehicle in good condition, presumably with a frame in good condition).

2017 Honda Ridgeline boosts fuel economy by 5 mpg

Fri, Apr 29 2016

The 2017 Ridgeline brings Honda back into the pickup segment later this spring, but the automaker has so far kept quiet about many of the new truck's specs. Thanks to the government, we now have fuel-economy ratings for the new model, and they compare well to the competition. Front-drive versions of the new Ridgeline get 19 miles per gallon in the city and 26 mpg highway. If you opt for all-wheel drive, the numbers are a point lower, at 18/25 mpg. That's are a decent upgrade over the last-gen truck, which was only offered with all-wheel drive and had ratings of 15/21 mpg for the 2014 model year. The related Honda Pilot crossover, which was new for 2016, does a touch better, with maximum fuel economy of 20/27 mpg on a front-drive model with the optional nine-speed automatic. Comparing the Ridgeline with the fresh crop of updated midsized pickups, the Honda fares well. For comparable models with a V6 engine, automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive, the Toyota Tacoma is the closest competitor, at 18/23 mpg. The Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon aren't too far behind that at 17/24 mpg. The Honda actually comes pretty close to the ratings of four-cylinder, rear-drive versions of its competitors, beating some on the highway. Honda will exclusively offer the 2017 Ridgeline with a 3.5-liter V6 and a six-speed automatic. The company doesn't yet have powertrain specs, but the same engine makes 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque in the Pilot, so expect similar figures for the pickup. An in-bed stereo system is among the truck's innovative features, which should make the Ridgeline a great vehicle for tailgating and outdoor parties, and now we at least know it won't use that much fuel getting there.
