1996 Honda Prelude Si Coupe - All Original -- Near New Condition -- No Reserve! on 2040-cars
Plain City, Ohio, United States
I have a pristine / rare '96 Prelude Si for sale. 2 owner car that's spent the majority of it's life in a garage. Words can't do the condition justice. No joke. It is basically a near new '96 Prelude that belongs in the Honda Motegi Museum in Japan. Some details: - Only 70,500 miles on original H23 motor. - Spotless CarFax. - Rust free, straight, body with super high gloss original paint (recently professionally polished). - PERFECT interior. PERFECT!! Original stain-free Honda floor mats. Carpets have never seen a foot print! - Perfect engine room, trunk area and jambs. - Largely rust-free underbody with matching Vin# tags on all major body parts. - Rides and handles unbelievably -- basically new condition. - It likely has never seen a Winter and obvious that it may have rarely even been wet! Recent Services: - New exhaust from catalytic converter back. - Newer Dunlop tires with less than 10k miles. - All fluids up to date. - Valve adjustment. - New spark plugs and wires. Only mechanical issue is an illuminated ABS light despite which was repaired previously at a local Honda dealer. Other than that, the car needs nothing and would make an awesome daily driver, or weekend show car. If you're an enthusiast that has scoured the planet as I have looking for an untouched, all original, 3rd GEN (digital dash) Prelude, this is maybe your last opportunity as Preludes are impossible to find unmolested, especially this generation. The car is priced to sell as I don't have room to store it for the Winter. Car was purchased for $10,500 from a local Acura dealer only 20k miles ago!! Serious inquiries preferred. More pics are available on request.....thanks for looking. |

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced
Thu, 17 Oct 2013The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.
Honda favoring turbo over hybrid for US-market Vezel
Fri, 20 Dec 2013While Honda gears up to unveil the new Fit to the US market at the Detroit Auto Show next month, back in its home market, the car's crossover cousin is just going on sale. The Vezel was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show last month and already has a three-month waiting list in Japan, where Honda projects that 90 percent of customers will opt for the hybrid version. Not so in the United States, however.
When the Vezel reaches American showrooms, there'll be a number of key differences. For starters, it will carry a different name, though Honda isn't saying what that will be. For another, it will be built for North American consumption at Honda's new plant in Mexico, roughly half of whose production capacity is reportedly being allocated to the new crossover. And finally, it'll have a different engine.
In Japan the Vezel is being offered with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, with or without electric assist. Honda won't offer the hybrid version here - at least not initially - but it is preparing to offer a turbo option. Although it has yet to announce US specifications and options, the 1.5-liter turbo four (also unveiled at the Tokyo show) is considered a stronger likelihood than the 1.0- or 2.0-liter versions.
Honda recalling 405K vehicles over airbag issue
Thu, 19 Sep 2013Honda is in hot water due to an airbag glitch that is causing it to recall 405,400 vehicles. According to the campaign, the supplemental restraints might fire for no apparent reason. 342,000 of the affected vehicles are 2003 and 2004 Odyssey minivans, which gels with a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation we reported on in June.
Joining the Odyssey in the recall is the Acura MDX, with 63,400 units covered from the 2003 model year. Unlike the van, though, the MDX's recall covers Japan and Australia, in addition to the US and Canada. Both vehicles are suffering from an airbag control unit that is prone to malfunction when exposed to electrical noise, a condition that can cause the airbags to deploy without warning. Although no crashes have been reported in such scenarios, there have been some injuries typical of airbag deployment - abrasions and such.
Honda will be mailing recall notices to owners near the end of October, asking them to bring their vehicles into the dealership for installation of an electrical noise filter. The repair will take about an hour and be free of charge. Scroll down for the official announcement from Honda.
