Update:  I thought I covered all the bases but apparently I missed some rules I assumed someone shopping for a car on eBay would already know. If your spouse is uneasy with you purchasing a vehicle on eBay that is halfway across the country please get permission before bidding. I believe I have done a very thorough job describing and displaying this beautiful gem of a Crx Si for auction. If you have concern about the car please address them before bidding. You will receive the title and a spare key in the mail if you are not local, after payment is received. If you want it overnighted it will probably cost 30-40 bucks, that will be covered by the new owner. The Crx in the pictures below is not a magazine article or brochure I copied and pasted, it really is in great condition! Like I said I cannot believe I need to add these statements but I really don't want to relist a fourth time or it will probably just go into storage until Spring. Hopefully this third time is a charm and the crx high bidder follows through. My auction received a ton of traffic, interests, and emails but after some issues the sale did not go through with the winning bidder. Please understand that no matter what the bidding goes up to, as a buyer YOU are responsible for shipping if you are out of state. The previous winning bidder expected the shipping to be covered. Also the vehicle will not be released under any circumstances until payment is received in full. Not half payment, or a deposit, or whatever. I assumed this was common knowledge but after the previous experience I'm adding this at the beginning. I hope this time around the winning bidder is an enthusiast of these cars and understands bidding here is a binding contract. Thanks and good luck! I read listings all the time saying they are selling something rare or as a survivor and the pictures don't match the description. This 1990 Honda CRX Si is a gorgeous gorgeous car. Is it rare? In this condition and in its 99% original state being this nice, I think so. It has been meticulously well taken care of by the same female owner since 1993 when the current title was issued. It is a pleasure to drive. This CRX Si runs, drives, looks, smells, and feels like much less than the 140 something highway miles its been driven. Check the car fax all the maintenance has been kept up. Timing belt included and this is ready to go another 150k miles. The tires are 195-60-14 dunlops in fair condition. Exhaust is quiet and at some point the chrome si twin tips corroded and they were replaced. Looks very good and as close to oem as I've seen. Remainder of the exhaust components appear original and oem without leaks. Engine runs perfect like a well kept Honda does. Axles are quiet. Interior is amazing. No tears in the fabrics on the seats. Drivers side shows and feels some wear but the pictures show that well. No fading of any kind. Seat si colors are still vivid like when they were sold in 1990. Air conditioning blows ice cold. Temperature controls are not broken or cracked. The radio has been upgraded to an Alpine cda 9820xm. The antenna is missing but cheap to replace. The exterior shows some wear, chips and scratches have been touched up and the paint shines well. Minimal very beginnings of rust blisters are starting to show on the moon roof but its hard to see even in a high resolution picture. Minor miscellaneous parking lot dings but very few. Worst is on the passenger side door edge and in some pictures you can see it. Sun roof works perfectly. This CRX was professionally photographed so you can see in a few pictures there was some effects added, for example cars driving by. Pictures were taken August 16, 2013 two days before this auction begins. The engine bay really is that gorgeous. The interior really is that clean. And the outside, paint, wheels, body lines, and all exterior components really do look as good as the pictures show. Its not flawless, but it is one of the nicest I've seen in a while without low low miles. The winning bidder could pick it up and take it to a local car show immediately. During the picture taking I realized the passenger side tail light lens was replaced at some point. There's an accident reported in 2007, I'm guessing they are related. I can find no other evidence of an accident and all the panels are original on the body. The car drives smooth and straight. If the tail light lens is a bother to you I will include the correct one installed upon pick up. Lastly it has older window tint peeling on some edges. Not hideous, not perfect though. There is no visible body rust beyond the minor moon roof blisters and maybe a tiny blister or two starting in the rear wheel wells. Miscellaneous sap damage here and there that hardened over the years has been touched up. it could probably be wet sanded and buffed to be improved but all in all this CRX is beautiful. It's clean. I hope a CRX lover wins the auction and continues caring for it just like its previous owner. I would keep it but after years of searching I purchased a Green Tahitian Pearl CRX si in similar condition. If its being purchased as a good solid driving car, it'll last you a long long time if its kept up. Feel free to email with any questions. It is unlikely I will end the auction early with a buy it now price but it is listed locally so you never know. Bid to win.


On Sep-20-13 at 20:37:42 PDT, seller added the following information:

I've had several interested buyers ask about the tail light. The light has now been replaced with the correct one, and I took pictures of the tail light panel. It all looked good and straight. If you'd like to see pictures please send me a message and include a number or email to send pictures to. Thanks,

Toyota raises Japanese base wages for first time since 2008

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

Toyota is on track for record profits, and in return, its Japanese workers are receiving their first increase in base wages since 2008, plus higher pay based on seniority and a larger bonus for 2014. The Japanese automaker predicts the average laborer will net a 2.9 percent income gain.
The average Toyota employee will earn 2,700 yen ($26.28) more each month, a 0.8 percent increase from last year. Workers will also receive about 7,300 yen ($71.09) more monthly based on seniority and promotions. Finally, the company's union pushed through a median bonus of 2.44 million yen ($23,768) for 2014, the highest in 6 years.
The pay boost comes as Toyota forecasts a record 1.9-trillion yen ($18.5 billion) profit for the fiscal year ending on March 31, according to Bloomberg. It has been helped by the Japanese government's efforts to weaken the yen on international markets and expand inflation. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been asking businesses to increase compensation to end years of deflation and offset upcoming higher sales taxes. Honda and Nissan have also raised their wages there in recent months.

Honda Accord, Civic are America's most stolen cars

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

The National Insurance Crime Bureau has released its latest Hot Wheels study on the most popular stolen cars and trucks for 2012. The study has changed a bit from past years, with the new findings listing only the make and model of each vehicle, while taking into account all model years in its totals. Previous iterations only focused on the most stolen vehicles of a particular model year, with that make and model not appearing anywhere else on the list so as not to appear to call out a particular car. Confusing, eh? Said another way, in previous studies, if the three most stolen vehicles were the 2006, 2007 and 2008 Belchfire Turbo from Fictitious Motors, only the model year with the highest number of thefts would make the list.
The new study takes all model years into consideration while breaking down the number of vehicles stolen per model year in a full, in-depth report. Separately, the NICB is also listing the top 25 new vehicles stolen in 2012. That list is limited exclusively to model year 2012 entries.
Honda took the top two spots in the most stolen vehicles list, with 58,596 Accord models stolen and 47,037 Civic models stolen. The study is interesting, though, in that the most recent model year for the Accord is 1997, while the most recent the Civic is 2000. In fact, Hondas from 1990 to 2000 make up 16 of the top 20 cars stolen in 2012, according to the NICB. Compare that with the MY2012 list, where Honda's vehicles are eleventh and fifteenth, and it looks like the Japanese brand has been beefing up its theft control.

Honda Accord Hybrid falls well short of 47 mpg, says Consumer Reports [w/video]

Thu, 29 May 2014

Do not poke Consumer Reports with the hybrid fuel economy stick. That seems to be the lesson illustrated here yet again. The Honda Accord Hybrid is the latest to arouse the ratings bear, returning "just" 40 combined mpg in CR testing. Even so, that makes it "a class leader for fuel economy among midsized sedans," besting even the Civic Hybrid in CR testing, but that's still a lucky roll of the dice short of its EPA rating of 47 mpg. Remember, it was back in December 2012 that CR knocked the Ford Fusion and C-Max hybrid models for the exact same failing: certified with an EPA-rated 47 mpg but delivering "just" 40 mpg.
Beyond that, while the Accord Hybrid earned a lower overall score than the traditional gasoline Accord because of its ride, handling and refinement issues, it gets unqualified applause from the institute for its "very impressive hybrid system."
It will be interesting to see if CR's findings will negatively impact the model's sales, which to this point have been impressive enough that demand is outstripping supply. In the meantime, you can check out CR's brief video review of the Accord Hybrid below, and check out the magazine's press release chiding its mpg rating.
