I have for sale 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid with Auto/CVT Transmission and it shows 104,000 miles on the odometer NO RESERVE AUCTION. The car is a Non Smoker vehicle.
HYBRID SYSTEM:
The IMA/Hybrid battery that run the hybrid systemwill need replacement. At the moment thecar still runs fine, ut after reset it throws IMA cell again notifying that the battery needs replacement. ("Honda IMA" stands for Integrated Motor Assist). Even when the IMA/engine light comes on the car can be driven and I can still get good MPG with the A/C on, ut keep in mind Hybrid Battery will need to be replaced!
I bought the car from car auction here in New Orleans with reconstructed title that says flood damage(NOT from Katrina). There is no smell of any kind or odder in the car, s i said it appears to be a NON smoker vehicle.
ENGINE:
Engine is 1.3 liter 4 cylinder and runs good. It does not smoke or burning any oil and it keeps perfect operating temperature. Overall is very quiet and responsive. It has idle "AUTO STOP" feature that works fine. Every time you are at traffic light or a stop sign the IMA system activates the "AUTO STOP" and cuts the engine off to save fuel. Once you let go the brake pedal the car virtually starts immediately on it's own. This car is a gas saver and fuel efficient vehicle. Always changed the engine oil and filter with "Mobil 1 synthetic oil 0W-20" and a "Frame" oil filter.Just changed the oil with a fresh one.On the highway the car drives smooth and straight with no complains.
TRANSMISSION:
Transmission is CVT and it does jump a little at start,it takes a second to catch before it starts to move.Uses only specific Honda Oil for CVT models. Regular transmission oil is not recommended. I did change the CVT transmission with the correct oil around 5,000 miles ago.
Under carriage of the vehicle is clean with no rust and no oil leaks. Exhaust system seems to be in tacked and it does not have any problems. Overall the small size engine makes this hybrid very quiet.
EXTERIOR:
The exterior shows some dents, ings and scratches. It has a dent on the hood(see picture), mall ding on the passenger's rear door and some scratches on the bumpers. The side body lines up nice and straight. The hood the trunk and all the doors open and close freely and easily. Paint shows some normal wear mostly on the trunk, ut still looks good. All of the headlights and taillight lenses are intact and crack free. On the windshield there is a penny size crack on the passenger side(see picture).
TIRES:
Tires are 14" and all four tires are matching. The alloy wheels are straight and tires have good tread all around. Steering and brakes feel good, o strange noises.
INTERIOR:
The interior has a tan carpet and cloth seats. It's very nice with no stains or odors. Upholstery is also tan and in very good condition. There is a small hole on the driver's side mat at the bottom of the gas pedal. Also, t rear passenger door by the handle is broken(see picture).
FEATURES:
Air conditioning is strong and blows cold air. Heater works too.
All power controls such as the Power Mirrors, ower Door Locks, ower Windows, ey-less Entry all work fine. Car is also equipped with cruise control, tilt/telescope steering wheel and a factory CD player with four speakers. The stereo is equipped with anti-thief code, hich I do have. Every button or switch inside the car works fine.
Besides the dual front air bags the car also has front side airbags. The trunk is spacious and clean, lso it comes with a factory rear lip/spoiler attached to it. The original spare tire and tools are present. I also have the owner's manual, ne ignition key with one remote control.
As with any 11 year old vehicle, lease expect to find a few flaws and blemishes from age and mileage. As I said in the beginning and to emphasize one more time the Hybrid Battery is weak and it will need to be replaced!
Buyer is responsible for pickupand transportation.I do expectpick up and payment 7 days after the end of the auction.
Car is sold AS-IS. There is no written or implied warranty.
