PLEASE WATCH: DEMONSTRATION DRIVE VIDEO OF ME (CURRENT OWNER) DRIVING THIS CAR ON YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkVOQOfHdlU&feature=youtu.be This is a great car. Don't let the mileage scare you. It still gets over 45 MPG even with them IMA malfunctioning. The transmission, AC, everything work great. I have had it for about a year and the only reason I am selling it is that I wanted car with 4 seats for my big dogs. Pros: *45-100 MPG. (45-50MPG average daily) *Body is straight (no dents & panels line up) *AC is ICE COLD & heat will almost toast your marshmellows *Transmission is good *Brand new battery (main battery for starting, not IMA battery pack) *Very new (all weather) tires (<6mos old and still have 70% tread left) *Recent oil/air filter change *Recently detailed & waxed (very clean!) *Aluminum body (very light but low to the ground so it handles amazing) *Standard/Manual transmission (great for those of us that want even more MPG's!) *Front Wheel Drive (FWD = drives well, even in the winter) *Very reliable *Excellent commuter car **NO RUST. NONE AT ALL. Cons: *IMA is malfunctioning (When car turns on, the battery will charge slightly, but it seems as if something tells the IMA to not charge the battery, so the Charge/Assist function turns off again. I believe there is some kind of glitch/short in the IMA system that could be overridden to make it function properly.) *Paint at front of vehicle (air intake area below hood/Honda symbol and a little on the hood) is chipped from rocks/road debris, but the chips are tiny & not noticeable if you are not looking for them. They are only slightly visible in the head-on picture.) Also, there is a tiny chip in the windshield (picture with pinky finger pointing to chip) as well as a fracture right behind where the rearview mirror is stuck to the windshield. The car already had both of these windshield deficiencies when I bought it a year ago and they have NOT gotten any larger/worse while I have owned it. *You must be under 1000 RPM's or Over 2500 RPM's to shift or downshift into 2nd gear smoothly. If in the 1000-2500 rpm range, 2nd may grind a little, but not all of the time. Really not much of an issue. *The muffler's heat shield is loose and rattles at low-rpm takeoffs. Easy fix, but I have no time. *The maintenance light is on (the Honda dealership is the only place that can reset it after an oil change, but I took it to a smaller shop for its last oil change who did not reset it.) *The check engine light is on. This is because of the IMA malfunction. **Please email me with any questions. I would be happy to answer them or take/email you more pictures if need be. If you live close by, feel free to come by for a test drive. **Deposit due within 48hrs of winning bid. I would be happy to drive/deliver the car for a fee. We can negotiate this between us. I will NOT ship it. Either you have to come pick it up, or you can have me deliver it. Also, if you fly in to pick it up, the nearest airports is Tulsa IAP. I would be happy to pick you up. **************************HAPPY BIDDING & GOOD LUCK ************************** Also, if you are bidding & have bad/low/a lot of negative feedback, I will probably delete your bid unless you contact me in advance... Sorry.
