Getting sick and tired of the up and down ridiculous gas prices??  With the price of gas skyrocketing yet again, there's no better time to buy an alternative fuel vehicle.  Here is your chance to own a hard to find 2000 Honda Civic GX CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) sedan.  Save big $$$ with natural gas, while helping clean up the environment.  This is a factory CNG package, NOT an aftermarket retrofit.  Dedicated CNG system, NOT bifuel.  This was an expensive factory option. Does NOT run on gasoline, only CNG.

I am a CSA certified CNG cylinder inspector.  I have been dealing in CNG vehicles for 7+ years.  All cylinders are inspected for damage in accordance with 3yr/36,000 mile guidelines so bid with confidence.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions as I am always happy to assist.  631-871-3459 (Seth). 

CNG Specs:

Compressed Natural Gas Tank Capacity: Approximately 8 US Gallons Gasoline Equivalent(GGE) @3600 psi 70 degrees F (21 degrees C). Average CNG range approx 200-240 miles.  Expiration date 02/2015

·  This hard to find 2000 Honda Civic GX Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Sedan.  Equipped with the reliable and highly efficient 1.6L VTEC SOHC engine and automatic transmission.  This is a one owner fleet maintained former gov't vehicle.  BEWARE of people selling vehicles with untested/unfilled CNG systems.  This vehicle has been filled and test driven 30+ miles.  This car is super economical to drive with CNG priced under $1.00 a gal in many areas.  State tax credit still available (Utah and other states that offer tax credits).   

 

What is CNG???

Compressed Natural Gas or CNG, is one of nature's best untapped energy sources.  Unlike fossil fuels, it is constantly produced by the earth and can also me synthesized through chemical processes.  Cyber_lot. The technology has been around for decades but until recently has been kept in the closet by big oil!  It is one of the fastest growing alernative fuel sources and unlike biodiesel and ethanol (E85), is a viable replacement for pertroleum.  Within the next 10 years 90% of gov't fleets will be CNG and civilian population will follow over the next 20 yrs.

Why should I buy a CNG/Bi Fuel Vehicle?

  • SAVE MONEY!  CNG is about 1/3 less than reguar unleaded and more stable in price.  AS LOW AS 99 CENTS PER GAL IN SOME AREAS! 
  • CNG burns with practically no emissions compared to petroleum fuel so each mile you drive helps the environment....THINK GREEN
  • CNG is safer (less volatile) than gasoline as it has a higher ignition temp, 1200 deg vs 800 deg.
  • CNG poses little if any environment risk of contamination and in the event of an accident where tanks are breached, it evaporates into the air with no spill Cyber_lot
  • CNG fill stations are growing more and more each day.  Check the links below for fill station locations across the US.
  • You can fill up at home using a Phil Fuelmaker device if you have a natural gas line.  No more trips to the gas station.  Tax deductible. 
  • Most states allow you to drive solo in the HOV lane.
  • CNG is not corrosive like gasoline and wears MUCH easier on a motor.  Most CNG fueled engines require oil changes less frequently and sparkplugs last almost forever.  Overall engine life is usually significantly extended.  Cyber_lot 
  • Unlike hybird electic/gas cars, there are no costly batteries ($6000) to replace
  • Unlike hybird electric vehicles, the CNG drivetrain is the same as the gasoline counterpart and can be serviced by most mechanics.  Cyber_lot.  Only the CNG fuel system requires specially trained service technicians.
  • There may be tax credits/deducations available for CNG vehicle owners and for the purchase of a Phil Fuelmaker (check with IRS and state tax authorities)
  • Be the first person in your town to sport a CNG ride.  Almost always a conversation starter when you open the trunk!

 

Condition

Drivetrain

Engine starts right up and runs smooth and strong.  Only 41k miles.  NO knocks, NO smoke, NO dripping leaks. Transmission shifts into and through all gears smoothly as it should.  Has even acceleration and cruises at highway speed.  The 1.6L VTEC is one of the most durable and efficient engines Honda produced and should easily last 500K+ miles with proper maintenance.  This was a maintained vehicle with regular dealer/fleet servicing. 

Exterior     

Paint has most of its shine and glistens in the sun as you can see.  No major/large dents or rot on the body.  The rear bumper has marks and guages.  There are minor blemishes such as chips, dings, and scratches around the body.  There is a soft slight crease mark on the driver front door(see pic).  There is a soft small dent on the corner of the hood and top edge of the front passenger door.  Aside from the minor blemishes, the body is overall straight as you can see.  Please keep in mind this is not a showroom new but in fair condition for the year. 

Interior

Interior is in good condition with minimal wear.  Seats and floor are not ripped or shredded.  No tears in seats.  Dashboard is NOT cracked or faded.  Inside is fresh and clean.

Wheels and Tires

·  Tires have approx 50%+ tread remaining.  Full set of Honda factory alloy rims.

CNG System

I have fueled up with CNG with no problems.  No evidence of any leaks. Everything looks to be in order and system holds pressure as it should.

I have test driven this vehicle over 30 miles and it should have no problem going anywhere.  I do advise that long distance buyers use a transport service to move vehicle rather than drive due to the availability of CNG stations in some states.  As I recommend to all my customers, you should have your mechanic look over any newly purchased vehicle before extensive use.  I have tried to list as many details about this vehicle as I can, including known defects.  There may be deficiencies that I am not aware of so buyers are encouraged to inspect in person.  This was previously a fleet/lease vehicle and may have greater wear and tear than private vehicles.  Vehicle is otherwise sold as-is and where is with no warranty express of implied.  If you are local I encourage and welcome you to come down and test drive the car for yourself or have an independent inspection completed PRIOR to bidding.  I am happy to answer any questions so feel free to e-mail me or call.  There will be no price adjustments or cancellation of sale for failure to do so.    

·  Payment Details

A non-refundable deposit in the amount of $500.00 must be made via PayPal within 24 hrs of auction's close.  Balance to be paid within 3 days via certified/cashier's check from a verifiable institution with local branches only, US postal money order preferred(no other's will be accepted due to counterfeit MO's going around), or cash (in person only, DO NOT mail cash).  A document fee of $150.00 will be added to the winning bid price.  If you require documents to be mailed please add $20 to final price for overnight service.   Item must be picked up within 10 days of auction's close unless you make other arrangements with me.  If not, buyer agrees to pay $20/day storage.  Sorry but I can not have vehicles sitting here for weeks or months.  IF DEPOSIT IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 24 HRS OR PAYMENT IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 3 DAYS, VEHICLE WILL BE RELISTED OR SOLD TO NEXT BIDDER.  Cyber_lot.

Shipping

Shipping is at the expense and responsibility of the winning bidder.  If you require shipping, I am happy to assist.  Shipping for vehicles is approximately $900-1000 for west coast, $500-600 for southeast, $800-1000 for southwest, and $800 for midwest.  These rates represent average prices and may change with fuel costs.  Vehicle is located in Long Island, NY, 11713.  Cyber_lot.  If you wish to fly and drive, I can pick you up at the area airport (Long Island Macarthur, ISP) or the train station (LIRR-Ronkonkoma).    

Legal Info

Please only bid if you have the funds available and intend to complete the transaction.  Ebay is a great place and you guys are wonderful but the occasional fraudulent bidder ruins it for everyone.  Non-paying bidders will be reported to eBay as well as the appropriate authorities as interfering in interstate commerce is a federal offense.  If you have negative feedback please contact me if you wish to bid or your bid(s) will be canceled.  By bidding, you agree to all the terms of this auction.  Item is sold as-is where-is with no warranty or guarantee.  If you are local, feel free to come and inspect the vehicle in person.  Cyber_lot.  I have tried to describe this item as best I can but I am not responsible for any incorrect information regarding specs, condition, undetected problems, etc.  I am happy to answer any and every question so please e-mail prior to bidding as all sales are final.  I reserve the right to end auction early as vehicle is for sale locally.

Ariel to revive motorcycle business with debut at Goodwood

Sat, 07 Jun 2014

If you're a parent, the name Ariel might conjure up one of the Disney princesses, but auto enthusiasts know it as a hardcore, boutique British sports car maker. Before being revived to make the skeletal Atom, the business was also a British motorcycle company best known for its four-cylinder bikes. Now, the modern iteration is looking to the past with plans to unveil its own cycle at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed from June 26-29.
Given Ariel's cars, you might expect an absolutely minimalist motorcycle weighing practically nothing. However, according to its boss speaking to Visor Down, there's no point in trying to build another racer; that market is sewn up. Instead, it's developing a performance cruiser with a more tailored design approach. Buyers can select a variety of different components to adapt the cycle to their style. It shouldn't be lacking for too much speed though; power comes from the 1,237cc V4 engine from the Honda VFR1200F with around 170 horsepower on tap, and it also offers the VFR's six-speed, dual-clutch gearbox as an option.
Ariel admitted that bike on display at Goodwood would just be a test mule and didn't say when the production version would be ready. It seems this idea has been a long time coming, though - we reported in 2011 that the company was working on a bespoke motorcycle with multiple design options around a Honda engine. Pricing at the time was rumored to sit around 20,000 pounds.

Honda recalling 1,400 units of 2016 Pilot to adjust seatbelts

Thu, Jul 16 2015

Just as the new model starts arriving at dealers, Honda is already recalling the 2016 Pilot in order to adjust the third-row seatbelt positioning in some of them. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports this campaign covers 1,358 vehicles. However, Honda asserts that only a tiny number of owners actually need to bring their crossover into their dealerships for repair. Honda discovered during quality checks at the factory that the third-row seatbelt could be trapped between the seat and the side of the vehicle. This could pose a safety issue to passengers back there. The affected examples have build dates between May 4, 2015, and June 5, 2015. Because the 2016 Pilots were just launching when this problem was discovered most of them were still at the factory, in transit, or at dealers. According to Honda, only 269 of the affected examples actually made it to owners. The automaker got in contact with these customers to reposition the seatbelt. There are still 20 left that need to be checked, and this issue isn't responsible for any reported crashes or injuries. RECALL Subject : Rear Seatbelt May Be Trapped Report Receipt Date: JUL 06, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V424000 Component(s): SEAT BELTS Potential Number of Units Affected: 1,358 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) HONDA PILOT 2016 Details Manufacturer: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) SUMMARY: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2016 Honda Pilot vehicles manufactured May 4, 2015, to June 5, 2015. Due to an assembly issue, the third row seatbelt may be trapped between the rear seat and the rear sideliner. CONSEQUENCE: If the third row seatbelt is trapped, the occupants may not be restrained properly, increasing the risk of injury. REMEDY: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the rear third row seat belt, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on August 6, 2015. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-310-783-2000. Honda's number for this recall is JS7. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Trump declaration they're a security threat stuns Japanese automakers

Tue, May 21 2019

TOKYO — Japan's automakers' lobby said on Tuesday it was dismayed by President Donald Trump's declaration that some imported vehicles and parts posed a threat to U.S. national security, as the industry braces for a possible rise in U.S. tariffs. Trump made the unprecedented designation of foreign vehicles on Friday but delayed for up to six months a decision on whether to impose tariffs to allow for more time for trade talks with Japan and the European Union. "We are dismayed to hear a message suggesting that our long-time contributions of investment and employment in the United States are not welcomed," said Akio Toyoda, chairman of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association. "As chairman, I am deeply saddened by this decision," Toyoda, president of Toyota, said in a statement. Trump has threatened to impose tariffs of up to 25% on imported cars made by foreign automakers, a move which automakers have argued would ramp up car prices, curb the global competitiveness of U.S.-made vehicles and limit investment in the country, the world's No. 2 auto market. The United States is a vital market for Toyota, Nissan, Honda and other Japanese car makers. Autos and components are among the Asian country's biggest export products. Most of Japan's major automakers operate plants in the United States. The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association notes that its automakers build about 4 million vehicles a year in North America, or 75 percent of what it sells here. Many are built for export, helping lessen the U.S. trade deficit Trump is concerned about. Major automakers have announced a slew of investments in the United States since Trump took office in January 2017 and put pressure on the industry to create more U.S. jobs. For its part, Toyota has pledged to invest almost $13 billion in the United States between 2017 and 2021 to boost manufacturing capacity and jobs. This includes $1.6 billion for a vehicle assembly plant in Alabama jointly run with Mazda. Government/Legal Honda Mazda Mitsubishi Nissan Toyota Trump
