I recently acquired this car and don't know the history. I will do my best to describe in detail. Please check the VIN with Carfax. I just applied for the title to be transferred to my name, DMV shows it as CLEAN. The Kelly Blue Book values the vehicle at $5608 for FAIR condition. Fair condition is described as:

Has some cosmetic defects that require repairing and/or replacing: Please read below.

Requires some mechanical repairs: I have not noticed any mechanical repairs. I have only driven the car a couple hundred miles and it seems to run just fine.

The paint and bodywork may require refinishing and body repair: The car looks to have been painted. I noticed that there is some residual paint around the lights, windows, and tires. Otherwise the paint looks nice and fresh.

The engine compartment has leaks and may require repairs: No leaks have been detected, but I have not had a mechanic look at it.

May have some repairable rust damage: No rust damage present.

The body has dents, chips, and/or scratches: Do not notice any scratches or chips. I can see a couple spots where there are shallow dents, but barely noticeable.

The interior has substantial wear, and may have small tears: Interior could use a good cleaning. The previous owner definitely smoked in it. There is no strong odor but there are a few cigarette burns. The headliner is in great shape.

Wheels may be warped or bent, have major scratches, scrapes, or pitting and require replacement: Looks like the hubcaps were painted, the silver is peeling a bit in places. Wheels are not bent and do not need to be replaced.

The tires may not match and need replacing: Tires look to match, don't look like they need to be replaced.

Needs servicing, but is still in reasonable running condition with a clean title history: I do have a clean title. Vehicle runs fine, but could probably use a tune-up since I don't know how well it was taken care of.

A few service records are available: There are no service records with this vehicle.

As you can see from the pictures all dash lights light up when the key is partially turned, then go off when the car is started. The car comes with two keys, one is not chipped and does not start the car, just unlocks the doors. The knob to open the hood is missing, but the release still works. The spare tire is included with the jack. The back left light cover is cracked as is the lower part of the windshield. Power windows and locks work just fine. Car seems pretty solid.

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:

Honda takes us through 50 years of automobiles in 60 seconds

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

Honda's wonderfully simple, fun ads are not in short supply right now. We showed you Hands, the followup to 2003's The Cog, last week. If you haven't had a chance to look at those two great videos, we strongly encourage you to head over that way and give them a watch.
The latest minute-long commercial is a bit more dear, though. And while it may be in Japanese, it's still a cool look back at Honda and its car-building history.
This is also a great video if you're a fan of odd, vintage Japanese vehicles. Honda's T360 and a few old Civics are featured heavily, although we can't help but notice that a few very big names are missing. Where's the NSX or the S2000? How about the original Insight, a car so revolutionary it still has a cult following today? Honda has made some great cars, we just wish it'd show off more of them. Check out the video below.

Honda CR-Z carbon-fiber prototype

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

When Honda rolled out the CR-Z a few years ago, it hoped to bridge the gap between those who would save the planet and those who would rather burn all of its resources in a glorious cloud of tire smoke. But enthusiasts recalling the CRX of 1980s vintage balked, imploring Honda to ditch the heavy battery packs and electric motors in favor of a lighter-weight, more conventional powertrain. At this point it seems less likely that Honda would do so at one end of the market than Porsche would ditch the hybrid component of its 918 Spyder at the other. But that doesn't mean Honda isn't still cooking up ways to curb the CR-Z's weight. And it had just one such idea waiting for us when we visited its Japanese R&D center at Tochigi last week.
Nestled in between the JDM hatchbacks, powertrain test mules and new technology prototypes Honda rolled out for us sat the experimental CR-Z you see here. While it may look mostly like the hybrid sport-hatch you can pick up at your local dealer (albeit blacked out), nearly all of this prototype's bodywork has been completely replaced, as have its basic underpinnings, with carbon-fiber reinforced plastic. The exotic material is usually reserved for high-end exotics, but like BMW is democratizing its use in the new i3, so too is Honda researching ways to implement the use of carbon fiber on a mass scale. This one-of-a-kind CR-Z prototype stands, for the time being, as the embodiment of that effort.
