1 owner, low mile, pampered 97 FS - "SOLD"

It had been sold to a Honda enthusiast from Boston. Thanks.

Looking for a new owner who will take care of her like I do.

I bought it new from local dealer on 10/97. It is maintained by the same dealer since then. Current mileage reading is 37,636. It is always kept in the garage when it is not driven. It has never been raced or mistreated, actually I never rev it past 6K rpm. Every hardware of this car is original stock except the battery and tires, both had been replaced twice. The only repair is to install a new wind shield clean fluid pump. It goes to the dealer for check-up every 7500 miles. Oil is changed every 3000 miles or 6 months using Mobil 1 synthetic 5-30w. Timing belt was changed in 04, next one is due in 10. Interior is in almost flawless condition. Weather strips and plastic moldings don't show any sign of deterioration. It has never been modified except some stickers on the windows that all can be removed. The options I purchased at the time were dealer-installed factory AC, mud guards (I had paint shop paint the same body color before I installed them), Type R floor mats and trunk mat. Everything else are standard with the Type R. We wax it twice a year using Mother products. We wash it as often as we can. The engine bay has never been cleaned because I read somewhere said that that does more harm than good. There are four dents/scratches on the otherwise excellent exterior. Two on the rear bumper on both sides where license tag located. When I was waiting for the traffic light to turn green, the car behind me bumped my car softly because the driver, a lady, was looking something in her purse and let go her brake momentarily, she told me that after we got out of our cars. It was a small damage. I reported to the police anyway. I want to give her a lesson. I received $300 from her insurance but did not fix the damages - they were not worthy of repair as they are so small to me. One dent on each side of the front fender just above the arch of the wheel opening. They were caused by the shopping carts handled by some careless people, of course they did not let me know who they were.

I will post many photos in my next post. If you have any questions please PM me.

Make me an offer.

This can be removed - I wanted every body know how special this car is.

The color of the interior pictures came out much lighter that what actually were. Maybe I should turn off the flash light.

My math was wrong - the timing belt was replaced in 04, not 93. Sorry.

I also fixed your other posts and combined all of your pics in here.

I locked the others, but left them there for the time being, they will be deleted upon a PM from you. What you will do, going forward is post the pictures and responses here.

Are you going to be around this weekend? Maybe I'll alter my route to SC and roll through your area first.
