Up for sale is my 1998 Honda CR-V with a Roadmaster Stowmaster 5000 tow bar and magnetic lights on it. It is ready to hook up and tow behind whatever you are driving. The only reason that I am selling it is because I have bought a different tow car and I don't need this one also.

This CR-V has 245816 for miles on the odometer. It still runs decent, but like any other car that has almost a quarter of a million miles on it, it doesn't run perfectly and has some other issues that I will try to list to the best of my ability. The tires are Goodyear Viva 2's that I had put on about 6 or 7 months ago. I'm guessing that they are about 1/2 tread. I have recently put alot of new parts in it as it decided to quit running on me so I am also going to be listing those as well.

In May-June on this year is when I put a bunch of new parts in it including ignition coil, timing belt, spark plugs and wires, fuel pump, fuel filter, catylitic converter, injectors, radiator, water pump and I'm probably missing a few others as well. I put all of these parts in and come to find out, the only real problem was the coil went bad and when I replaced it, I had the plug wires installed in the wrong spots so it was missing. All these parts were about $1000 and I put them in myself. The front wheel bearings were replaced about a year ago.

Other then that, it has been a decent car to have for the last 4 years. It gets about 24-27 mpg. The power windows work as they are supposed to but the auto-down feature on the drivers window, doesn't work. The rear windshield wiper doesn't work either. The clutch still seems like it works fine and I haven't had any problem with it. The ABS light is on in the dash. It has been on ever since I have had the car. There is some rust spots in the typical areas (behind the wheels and bottom of the doors). There is a small dent on the roof. The rear hatch handle sticks when you open it. It probably just needs to be lubed up. It lower rear side marker light on the drivers side is gone because it fell off when I blew a tire. There is a screw holding the back bumper cover on because of that same blown tire. The whole car needs a good cleaning.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask before you bid and I will answer them the best I can. This car is for sale locally for $2800/obo so I have the right to end the auction early if it sells. I require a deposit of $500 via paypal within 48 hours of the auction ending and the rest paid in cash, paypal or credit card within 7 days of the auction ending. I will hold it for up to 30 days as long as it is paid in full.

Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.

Honda recalls 2016 Civic 2.0-liter engine for piston issue

Wed, Feb 24 2016

The Basics: Honda will recall 42,129 examples of the 2016 Honda Civic sedan with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine in the US. These models have build dates between September 22, 2015, and February 3, 2016. The issue does not affect the Civic Coupe. The Problem: The pistons might not have a wrist pin circlip or the part's installation could be incorrect. This problem could cause the engine to seize, leading to engine damage and an increased risk of fire or a crash. Injuries/Deaths: There are no deaths, but there was an unconfirmed report of a minor injury that didn't require medical attention, according to Honda. There was also a report of one engine fire, which was separate from the minor injury. The Fix: Dealers will inspect the engines and replace any damaged parts as necessary. If You Own One: Honda won't have the parts ready until this summer. Owners will receive initial notification about the recall in March, and they'll get a second letter when the components are ready. More Information: Honda already issued a stop sale on the 2016 Civic Sedan equipped with the 2.0-liter engine due to this problem. RECALL Subject : Piston Wrist Pin Circlips may not be Secured Report Receipt Date: FEB 09, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V074000 Component(s): ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING Potential Number of Units Affected: 42,129 All Products Associated with this Recall close Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) HONDA CIVIC 2016 Details Manufacturer: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) SUMMARY: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2016 Civic vehicles manufactured September 22, 2015, to February 3, 2016 and equipped with 2.0L engines. The affected vehicles have engines with piston assemblies that may have been manufactured without a piston wrist pin circlip or with an incorrectly installed piston wrist pin circlip. CONSEQUENCE: If a circlip is missing or incorrectly installed, the piston wrist pin may not be secure and may drift and damage the engine cylinder causing the engine to seize, and increasing the risk of a crash or a fire. REMEDY: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the piston assemblies, as necessary, free of charge. Parts are expected to be available in the Summer of 2016. Owners will be mailed an interim notification beginning March 15, 2016, and will be mailed a second notice when parts are available. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009. Honda's number for this recall is JX9.
