Please read everything! Nice little honda! It is in good overall condition. I bought this car for my wife to drive while I did body and mechanical work on our other car. I am now finishing up the work and letting this car go. My wife drives this car roughly 30 miles everyday for work. Mileage may go up slightly due to that. Clean and clear title. Starts everytime. Everything works on the car-- A/C, Heat, Cruise... No check engine lights or air bag lights are on. Has a 6 disc CD changer. Mostly all of the mechanicals in good condition-- good accessory belts (power steering, A/C, and alternator), spark plugs are good; has a new distributor; CV joints/half shafts are good; no leaks from underneath engine compartment that I can see. Clutch is good--is a 5 speed. New rear brakes (drums and shoes). Decent acceleration for a 1.6L--nonVTEC. Clean on the inside--non-smoker. The car does have some rust by the rear wheel wells. The car may need either a front strut or strut mount soon. The car creaks a little while accelerating from zero to low speeds. The timing belt is good (removed the timing cover and no frays or cracks on belt at that time), and there is no obvious seepage of coolant from water pump from underneath car. I have no idea when the timing belt was changed last. The radio volume knob is a little touchy, it sometimes works perfectly and sometimes you have to turn the knob slowly for it to respond correctly. The driver side sun visor clip may need replaced. It doesn't hold the visor in retracted position; only in shaded position. You would be hard-pressed to find a better Honda that is this cheap w/o a salvage/rebuild title. The car surprisingly does not shake or shimmy while driving at highway speeds. I average between 31-35mpg mixed city/highway. I have a YouTube video of the car starting with a cold engine. Please refer to the pictures also and ask any and all questions before bidding. Please don't bid if your feedback is under 90% positive. Payment: After auction ends, winnning bidder is required to pay a deposit of $200 due within 24 hours via Paypal. The remaining balance is due within 7 days after auction's end date; along w/ vehicle pick up. I will require cash for the remaining balance. I will work w/ any shipper as long I get paid the cash before handing over title. I prefer that the buyer pick up the car in person. Winning bidder also must contact me to make arrangements to complete the transaction as far as date and time etc. Please make sure that you know what it takes for your state (if not from Ohio) to transfer the title. Might also want to think about bringing plates for your trip home. I have a few tools if you need some to install your plates. I am not a dealer, so the car is sold as is (I hate that I have to state that, but you know...).

If you would like to come and see the car, I will be available most of the day tomorrow (Wed) until about 1:30-2pm. I will be heading out of town starting Wed. late afternoon, and arriving back mid-afternoon on Sat. I will end all local offers on Saturday at 4:30pm so it is fair for other bidders to win the auction. This auction ends on Sunday roughly 9:30pm I believe. Thanks.
