| 28. I am almost certain it is a US build ........ |

..... My wife is out with the car right now and won't be back until tonight.
I have no clue about the VIN, but someplace/somehow when we bought it we knew it was a US car. Ohio, as I recall.
My DIL has a CRV (2002? 2003?). These, we are told, are the only Hondas sold around here that are still made in Japan.
BTW, I recently bought a new(ish) car (Maxima). I looked at a 2008 used Accord coupe (which I really liked). It has this black contact paper on the door pillar that was starting to peel. My brother has an 05 coupe. I asked him if his contact paper was coming off. He said it was, so he peeled it back and left it at the underlying chrome. That just seems cheesy.

"The Honda (was it 90K?) service that called for the new timing belt cost over $1400." |

Where was your Honda built? Does your car's VIN begin with a "1" or with a "J?" |
