***Car has been sold. Feels good to see it go to a good home. Thanks for looking***

This is the car I thought I would own forever, but find I rarely drive it now that our kids are getting older. If you’ve been looking for a pampered, adult owned and enthusiast maintained garage queen that you can hang on to for a long time, this might be your car.

Before I go into the details, I want to point out this is the opposite of a distressed sale. We don’t need the money. It’s gotten to the point where I feel bad that such a beautiful car spends all it’s time sitting covered in the garage. My hope is I can find a fellow enthusiast that will give this car the home it deserves.

You guys are all enthusiasts and know the 02-03 are the most desirable since Honda fixed all the known issues from 00-01 but kept the high-revving AP1 setup. You might find some nice 04-07 with similar mileage, but most in this condition are usually in the $22-26K range.

The car is as close to flawless as you will find. Aside from a few small stone chips that have been touched up and some minor wear on the driver’s seat bolsters, this car looks like new. The paint is perfect, the original top is a 9.9 out of 10, the headlights are crystal clear, and none of the original wheels have any curb damage. Someone did tap the rear bumper a few years back in a parking lot and it probably could have been buffed out, but I had a top body shop paint the entire bumper and that repair comes with a lifetime warranty. Absolutely no metal work has been done on this car.

The car is completely stock other than a cold air intake, but I still have the stock intake box that will be included in the sale. It does have an OEM front lip and Dension Gateway for iPod / iPhone, but that’s it. Everything else is 100% stock.

In terms of maintenance, the car has always been hand washed and waxed (by yours truly). It has never been a daily driver, only the occasional Friday commute or weekend cruise. It has always been garaged and covered. It’s never been outside California, has never seen snow and has only seen rain on a few occasions. I have only used Mobil 1 (5W30) since break-in and the oil has been changed every 3-4K miles or ever 12 months depending on which occurred first. Only OEM oil filters (15400-PCX-004) have been used and any extras I have will be included in the sale. All major maintenance (valve adjustments, 30K fluids, etc.) has been performed by Foreign Affair in Santa Clara – a shop that specializes in Honda - and I have records and receipts for everything.

Car is located in South San Jose. Clean title in hand. I will be happy to take serious buyers on a test ride, but no joy rides and no dealers. VIN available upon request if you want to see the squeaky clean Carfax.

If you find a cleaner one for a lower price, you should buy it. I will entertain reasonable offers, but all low balls will be ignored.

Thanks for looking.

Jimbo

Awesome car in great condition. This beauty will sell and in a year or so I would snap it up in a heart beat. Owned a 00 and 04 and miss them. Good luck!

Thanks guys. I did get an offer for $18,500 on Craigslist which I politely declined. I will simply enjoy the car every now and then vs. sell for less than I think it's worth. I'll bump this post every so often, but in all likelihood will wait until spring when it will be in higher demand.
