*** PLEASE CALL BEFORE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP---I SHOW CARS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY---ALL VEHICLES ARE IN MY WAREHOUSE OUT OF VIEW. ***

*** Factory powertrain warranty to 11/25/2013 or 60k miles. ***

The 125 point Firestone inspection found it needed an oil change only. I had them perform the oil change. I changed the cabin air filter, replaced the wiper inserts, and added a fuel system treatment. They found the brakes to have 80% front and rear pads. The tires are Michelins wiuth 6/32nds tread. The tires have 9/32nds tread new. ***

*** The blemish in the rear seat can be repaired for about $125 if you wish. ***

• No Northern Cars with excessive salt exposure.  Many of my competitors sell cars from New York - New Jersey - Pennsylvania etc. because they can buy them cheaper - check the CarFax carefully.  Salt exposure may cause rust during the time you own it.  Emissions systems and brake systems typically fail sooner and cost more to repair because of the salt exposure as well. I do buy cars from Florida. The salt in the air does not harm the paint since it has been galvanized, painted, and clearcoated. The real threat is from salted roads not the air.
• No Repainted Metal Body Panels (doors, hood, fenders etc.) unless clearly disclosed in the exterior description above.  I use an Elcometer Paint Thickness Meter (a $600 tool) for positive verification.  If I have a vehicle that has had paintwork, it must be professional and acceptable quality and again - I will clearly disclose it in the Exterior Notes section above.  If I claim a vehicle hasn’t been repainted – ask me to prove it to you.
• No Replaced Metal Body Panels.  All Honda and Acura vehicles ( and some other makes) have Vehicle Identification Numbers (V.I.N.) clearly posted in conspicuous locations.  I check those numbers against the V.I.N. posted in the windshield and on the title.  Ask me to show them to you.
• Smoke Free Cars.  I will not sell cars that have been smoked in unless I disclose it specifically. I never buy one with smoke odor and cove it up with frangrance.  
• Yes - I Do Take Trades and do not try to “hide” what I’m giving you for your vehicle.  No gimmicks, tricks, or games.  I typically like to give you an estimate before we meet to avoid you falling in love with my car, but your trade value not being what you had hoped for.
• No Haggle Pricing.  If the price doesn't seem right for you, check back every couple of weeks – I reduce them (typically $200-$300) every two weeks until a unit sells.  My vehicles are direct competitors to the certified used cars you'll find at the franchised dealer's lots.  I perform more maintenance than Honda Certified programs require. Some examples are alignments, brake fluid flushes, and cabin air filters. These are items you can't tell if they have been done, but should be done. My cars are not equal to the cars you will find at discount dealers.  Discount dealers sell discount cars.
• I Will NOT Waste Your Time trying to con you into buying something that isn’t what you want and doesn’t fulfill your needs.  I essentially try to provide self-serve car sales.  I disclose all of the information I have about a car, even if it’s bad.  For example, did any other dealer voluntarily disclose in written form as well as provide photographs of their vehicles flaws?  I do, and with me you know the good - the bad - and the ugly before you even pick up the phone to call me.  You shouldn't have to feel like you have to beg for honest information about a vehicles condition.  You should know upfront. 
• I Provide a Written Mechanical Inspection performed by an independent national garage (Firestone in Bellevue), not just some guy working out of the back of my shop who’s paid to say nice things about my vehicle.
• I Provide a Free CarFax attached to every ad, the link is next to the main picture.
• The Price You See is the Final Price.  I don’t charge any additional “Junk” fees like “Doc Prep”, “Administrative” or anything else.  The only additional fees you will pay will be in the form of taxes and licensing.
• I Don’t Skimp on Repairs, if I buy a car to sell and I find something wrong with it I either fix it - or disclose it and tell you why I choose not to fix it (it would have to be something minor). I even do paintless dent repair to remove door dings and minor dents.
