Getting sick and tired of the up and down ridiculous gas prices??  With the price of gas skyrocketing yet again, there's no better time to buy an alternative fuel vehicle.  Here is your chance to own a hard to find 2000 Honda Civic GX CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) sedan.  Save big $$$ with natural gas, while helping clean up the environment.  This is a factory CNG package, NOT an aftermarket retrofit.  Dedicated CNG system, NOT bifuel.  This was an expensive factory option. Does NOT run on gasoline, only CNG.

I am a CSA certified CNG cylinder inspector.  I have been dealing in CNG vehicles for 7+ years.  All cylinders are inspected for damage in accordance with 3yr/36,000 mile guidelines so bid with confidence.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions as I am always happy to assist.  631-871-3459 (Seth). 

CNG Specs:

Compressed Natural Gas Tank Capacity: Approximately 8 US Gallons Gasoline Equivalent(GGE) @3600 psi 70 degrees F (21 degrees C). Average CNG range approx 200-240 miles.  Expiration date 02/2015. 

·  This hard to find 2000 Honda Civic GX Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Sedan.  Equipped with the reliable and highly efficient 1.6L VTEC SOHC engine and automatic transmission.  This is a one owner fleet maintained former gov't vehicle.  BEWARE of people selling vehicles with untested/unfilled CNG systems.  This vehicle has been filled and test driven 30+ miles.  This car is super economical to drive with CNG priced under $1.00 a gal in many areas.  State tax credit still available (Utah and other states that offer tax credits).   

 

What is CNG???

Compressed Natural Gas or CNG, is one of nature's best untapped energy sources.  Unlike fossil fuels, it is constantly produced by the earth and can also me synthesized through chemical processes.  Cyber_lot. The technology has been around for decades but until recently has been kept in the closet by big oil!  It is one of the fastest growing alernative fuel sources and unlike biodiesel and ethanol (E85), is a viable replacement for pertroleum.  Within the next 10 years 90% of gov't fleets will be CNG and civilian population will follow over the next 20 yrs.

Why should I buy a CNG/Bi Fuel Vehicle?

• SAVE MONEY!  CNG is about 1/3 less than reguar unleaded and more stable in price.  AS LOW AS 99 CENTS PER GAL IN SOME AREAS! 
• CNG burns with practically no emissions compared to petroleum fuel so each mile you drive helps the environment....THINK GREEN
• CNG is safer (less volatile) than gasoline as it has a higher ignition temp, 1200 deg vs 800 deg.
• CNG poses little if any environment risk of contamination and in the event of an accident where tanks are breached, it evaporates into the air with no spill Cyber_lot
• CNG fill stations are growing more and more each day.  Check the links below for fill station locations across the US.
• You can fill up at home using a Phil Fuelmaker device if you have a natural gas line.  No more trips to the gas station.  Tax deductible. 
• Most states allow you to drive solo in the HOV lane.
• CNG is not corrosive like gasoline and wears MUCH easier on a motor.  Most CNG fueled engines require oil changes less frequently and sparkplugs last almost forever.  Overall engine life is usually significantly extended.  Cyber_lot 
• Unlike hybird electic/gas cars, there are no costly batteries ($6000) to replace
• Unlike hybird electric vehicles, the CNG drivetrain is the same as the gasoline counterpart and can be serviced by most mechanics.  Cyber_lot.  Only the CNG fuel system requires specially trained service technicians.
• There may be tax credits/deducations available for CNG vehicle owners and for the purchase of a Phil Fuelmaker (check with IRS and state tax authorities)
• Be the first person in your town to sport a CNG ride.  Almost always a conversation starter when you open the trunk!

 

Condition

Drivetrain

Engine starts right up and runs smooth and strong.  Only 41k miles.  NO knocks, NO smoke, NO dripping leaks. Transmission shifts into and through all gears smoothly as it should.  Has even acceleration and cruises at highway speed.  The 1.6L VTEC is one of the most durable and efficient engines Honda produced and should easily last 500K+ miles with proper maintenance.  This was a maintained vehicle with regular dealer/fleet servicing. 

Exterior     

Paint has most of its shine and glistens in the sun as you can see.  No major/large dents or rot on the body.  The rear bumper has marks and guages.  There are minor blemishes such as chips, dings, and scratches around the body.  There is a soft slight crease mark on the driver front door(see pic).  There is a soft small dent on the corner of the hood and top edge of the front passenger door.  Aside from the minor blemishes, the body is overall straight as you can see.  Please keep in mind this is not a showroom new but in fair condition for the year. 

Interior

Interior is in good condition with minimal wear.  Seats and floor are not ripped or shredded.  No tears in seats.  Dashboard is NOT cracked or faded.  Inside is fresh and clean.

Wheels and Tires

·  Tires have approx 50%+ tread remaining.  Full set of Honda factory alloy rims.

CNG System

I have fueled up with CNG with no problems.  No evidence of any leaks. Everything looks to be in order and system holds pressure as it should.

I have test driven this vehicle over 30 miles and it should have no problem going anywhere.  I do advise that long distance buyers use a transport service to move vehicle rather than drive due to the availability of CNG stations in some states.  As I recommend to all my customers, you should have your mechanic look over any newly purchased vehicle before extensive use.  I have tried to list as many details about this vehicle as I can, including known defects.  There may be deficiencies that I am not aware of so buyers are encouraged to inspect in person.  This was previously a fleet/lease vehicle and may have greater wear and tear than private vehicles.  Vehicle is otherwise sold as-is and where is with no warranty express of implied.  If you are local I encourage and welcome you to come down and test drive the car for yourself or have an independent inspection completed PRIOR to bidding.  I am happy to answer any questions so feel free to e-mail me or call.  There will be no price adjustments or cancellation of sale for failure to do so.

Legal Info
