Up for sale or trade is my 92 Accord. This Accord was handed down to my friend after her Grandma passed away. The car lived in California and Idaho (no road salt in Idaho) up until a couple years ago when she moved here. I bought it from her with 99K miles last March as she was moving to China with her job and I needed a sedan since my wife and I were having our first baby in June. Both Carfax and Autocheck show 5 owners, but i know for a fact i am the 3rd owner, so i am assuming they counted moving to Idaho and then to Minnesota as 2 owners even though it was the same person!
As everyone knows, these CB7 accords with the F22 motors are probably the most reliable, dependable, and efficient transportation machines ever built. With just over 101K miles, this thing is just barely broken in, and with 32 MPG it's almost more expensive to walk! So if you want to hit Dick Cheney where it really hurts, his Swiss account, then buy this car and use less fuel.
Here is a list of the things that have been replaced since April 2012....these things were not broken, just replaced a preventative maintenance as i have had 3 other accords like this all of which reached 300K and i know what goes wrong as miles get higher. My wife drove it for about a month and did not like it and wants a CR-V instead.
-All new Honda OEM transmission cables...(they were not broken, but they are known to get stiff and make it hard to shift. So this was more preventative)
-Full Transmission flush with the new and improved Honda DW-1 transmission fluid instead of the old Z1. This was not a cheap flush that ruins transmissions, instead it was done according to Honda's recommendation, which was drain, refill, drive.....drain, refill, drive......drain, refill, drive..... final drain and refill. This takes a total of 12 quarts and at $12.85 a quart plus labor.......you do the math!
-Timing belts (both cam timing belt and balance shaft timing belt), idler, tensioner, and water pump replaced one thousand miles ago at 100K. (High quality Gates timing belt and components)
-New OEM cam seals.
-New OEM crankshaft seals.
-Full tune up including, spark plugs, OEM ignition wires, OEM distributor cap, OEM distributor rotor.
-New OEM valve cover gasket.
-New OEM Spark plug tube seals.
-New OEM Radiator.
-New OEM thermostat and a coolant flush.
-New alternator and power steering belts (High quality goodyear belts)
-New OEM oil pressure switch....was not broken but these are known to eventually leak so it is taken care of.
-New brakes all around.
-All weather strippings and rubber on the doors have been replaced because these are also known to go bad.
-New OEM main relay....was not bad but those usually burn out and cause intermittent no start issues so i beat it to the punch!
-AC system was converted to the new R134a....not even gonna go into how expensive this was!
There is virtually no rust what so ever on this accord, not even underneath! the paint is still very good and shines accept for 1 tiny scratch by the back light, and one by one of the door handles, both of which i have pictured. It has an alpine MP3 player, and Bose speakers. Everything works including all power windows, power locks, power mirrors, cruise control, power moon-roof, heat, and AC. With all the work done to this car, you can be sure that it will be ticking for thousands of miles and years to come! It's a bit dusty so it could use a wash!
This car is listed locally on craigslist #3604205409 and i can end this auction at anytime.
In the pictures the car has aftermarket wheels and tires on, those are not included. The car will come with the original Honda alloys and brand new all-season tires....The after market wheels are staggered with new ventus V12 tires, 225s in the front and 235s in the back and i am willing to sell those if you want them.
I am interested in trades for a CLEAN 1st gen Honda CR-V. I am only interested in 1999 to 2001 model years and it must be an EX or SE model and be AWD. I don't care if CRV has mechanical issues, even a non running CRV is fine as long as it is rust and accident free.
On Feb-11-13 at 18:49:34 PST, seller added the following information:
I have had a lot of emails asking if there is a "buy it now". So just to be fair to all bidders, i wanted to make sure everyone knows that the "buy it now" is the reserve, and i will end this auction early for whoever leaves a deposit and shows serious interest.

2014 Honda Accord Hybrid [w/video]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Delivering On Promises
The 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid should surprise no one. Its look is something we've seen since the non-hybrid versions went on sale last year. Its powertrain, mostly, we are familiar with from the already-on-sale Accord Plug-In model. And the overall vibe of the car? Well, it's an Accord, which has been a strong seller in the US for three decades, so much so that there's a very good chance you've been in one at some point, whether you noticed or not.
Honda's first attempt at an Accord Hybrid, released in 2005, put dynamic performance first, but it didn't match the public's maturing perception of what a hybrid is all about: fuel economy. The 2005 version was capable of a measly 28 miles per gallon combined, 25 in the city and 33 on the highway. Remember those numbers, and that the first-generation Accord Hybrid lasted all of three model years before being axed.
Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced
Thu, 17 Oct 2013The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.
Japanese spark plug giant NGK pleads guilty to price fixing, to pay $52M fine
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The ongoing investigation by the Department of Justice into price fixing in the automotive industry has nabbed one more company breaking the law. Japanese parts giant NGK Spark Plug Company agreed to plead guilty to a felony count of pricing fixing and bid rigging in the in the US District Court in Detroit. Its punishment is a $52.1 million criminal fine and to continue to cooperate with the DOJ's sleuthing into the problem.
According to the DOJ, NGK conspired to fix prices on spark plugs, standard oxygen sensors, and air fuel ratio sensors on vehicles from major automakers in the US, including the former DaimlerChrysler, Honda and Toyota, in a scheme that ran from at least January 2000 to July 2011. The charge claimed that the company and its co-conspirators held meetings where they agreed on bids and price quotes that were submitted to the automakers.
With the latest plea, the DOJ has caught 28 companies and 26 executives for price-fixing and bid rigging in the auto parts industry, and they have collected $2.4 billion in criminal fines. In 2013, the feds brought nine Japanese suppliers down at once, to collect $740 million. Scroll down to read the DOJ's complete announcement of the case.
