The time has come to move on so after 5 years of great ownership, it is time to sell. The car was bought back in Aug 2009 totally standard with 2 lady owners from new and heaps of Honda service history.
The car now I think now is a good spec, with lots of receipts to prove. it has every MOT certificate since new and lots of parts receipts. I have done my best to keep it in top condition over the years, replacing a whole host of parts, regular services and generally treating it well, keeping it clean and always warming up the engine etc...

Bad Points:
Of course the car is without its faults. The biggest is rust in the rear arches, it’s not at a stage that the whole arches have to be replaced, but some welding and sections would need to be done in time. For aesthetic purposes, it has been sanded down and touched up for now. The shell in general isn’t too bad for rust, but see for yourself in pics and on viewing
Paintwork not 100% as you would expect for an 18 year old car. The normal stone chips and small dents as you would expect, and some general imperfections on the paintwork, but it does still polish up nicely!
Currently is a noticeable bearing noise coming from the gearbox area, on inspection it would appear to be either the half shaft/ intermediate driveshaft bearing or the output shaft in the gearbox. It’s only a subtle noise but something which I have intended in getting sorted.
I will be sad to see this go, but after owning this for 5 out of the 7 years I've been driving it’s time to move on, the car really drives brilliantly, looks great and is a well maintained genuine car.
