 This 1997 Honda Accord has been a daily driver for me for the past 3 years.  I bought it from a co-worker right after they had the timing belt replaced at 130,000 miles.  I've put 38,000 trouble free miles on it.  It now has a slow coolant leak and the CV joints are getting very noisy.  The poor thing has been bumped on nearly every panel.  Engine, transmission, A/C, cruise, power windows, sunroof, etc. all work very nicely.  Would be ideal for transplanting the drive train into a better car.  I just don't feel like it's worthwhile to invest in the needed repairs given the poor cosmetic condition of the body.  Car has good tires, and also had new exhaust, from the flex pipe back, added about a year ago.  Winning bidder to make $100 non-refundable deposit by PayPal within 24 hours of auction ending.  Balance can also be paid by cash upon pick up, or wire transfer.  Buyer responsible for pick up or any arrangements and cost needed for transporting. E-mail if you have questions.

 If you have ZERO FEEDBACK, please don't bid on my item as I will cancel your bids.  You can contact me by email if you have questions or concerns about that.


On Feb-12-13 at 03:26:32 PST, seller added the following information:

I am still driving this on my 25 mile round trip for work. As noted, it has a coolant leak, but it has not been overheated or run hot. I add coolant every 2 or 3 days and keep driving. Lots of good parts on this one, excluding the body panels which have just about all been bumped or dinged over the years. Worst is driver side rear door. Neighbor backed into the car and damaged both doors and a bit on the quarter. Everything opens & closes & works fine. Look over the photos. Let me know if you have questions or need additional photos. Car is sold as is. Also, IT WILL NOT LEAVE MY DRIVEWAY ON AN OPEN TITLE. YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS WILL BE ON IT. I DON'T WANT ANY PART OF AN OPEN TITLE SALE.

Honda exclusive to McLaren at least until 2017

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

Next year Honda will return to Formula One after a seven-year absence, bringing the first Japanese automaker to compete in the top-tier racing series back into the fold. But though it started in 1964 much as it ended in 2008, running its own team (much like Ferrari and Mercedes do today), its new F1 program will see it revert to engine-supplier status (like Renault did when it sold its team to Lotus).
The arrangement will be exclusive to McLaren for the 2015 Formula One World Championship. But what fans and insiders alike have been wondering is how it might expand after that. Well, now we have at least part of the answer.
According to the F1 business insiders at Pitpass, Honda motorsport chief Yasuhisa Arai told a group of journalists at this past weekend's race in Shanghai that the deal with McLaren will be exclusive not only in 2015, but also in 2016. In other words, it won't be until 2017 at the earliest before Honda might begin supplying engines to any other teams, if at all.

Honda Accord Hybrid sales capacity constrained

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

Honda might be selling more hybrids if it could just get them to dealers. While the second-generation Insight never lived up to sales expectations and production is ending, the Japanese automaker is seeing strong demand for the Accord Hybrid here and abroad. However, there is so much global consumer desire that it can't keep them in US showrooms.
The problem limiting the sales of the Accord Hybrid is its battery pack and its popularity in Japan. "There's a waiting list for the product," said Jeff Conrad, Honda general manager, to Ward's Auto about the sedan's US popularity. While the American Accord is built in Marysville, OH, the batteries are imported from Japan, where the model is quite popular. According to Ward's data, the automaker sold 2,414 examples of the hybrid version from October 2013 to February 2014 in the US, but it shifted 6,000 units in Japan in its first three months on sale. Conrad also admitted that the constrained supply is limiting the amount of marketing the automaker can do for the hybrid.
Honda spokesperson Chris Martin told Autoblog the company is working on a solution to increase production for the near future. "We are going to resolve the battery issue," he said.

Honda recalling 25k Odyssey minivans over side curtain airbags

Fri, 02 May 2014

Honda's refreshed 2014 Odyssey (now with 100-percent more vacuum power!) launched last year, but is now being called back for issues related to the side curtain airbags. According to Honda, 24,889 Odyssey minivans are affected by an issue that may cause the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light to illuminate or, even worse, cause the side airbags to not deploy in a crash.
What went wrong, exactly? We'll let Honda explain:
During assembly of the electrical coupler for the side curtain airbag on the passenger's side of the vehicle, it is possible that the shorting terminal, which is used to prevent deployment of the airbag before it is assembled into the vehicle, may have been damaged. A damaged shorting terminal may illuminate the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) indicator as well as prevent the side curtain airbag from deploying during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
