Up for sale is a 1999 Honda Accord LX Coupe (2 Door) with approximately 198,000 miles.  I recently purchased a newer Accord and do not have the time (or desire) to fix the issues with thiscar.  I will try to describe the car as best I can so everyone knows exactly what they are bidding on.  I have been driving the car as a daily driver (mostly highway miles during my ownership), and it is fully operational - you can drive it home.  The car drives and runs fine, with only the minor issues noted below.  I have owned the car for about 2 years and have put on about 50k miles.  I have the title in hand, and it is a clear title.

The car has a manual transmission, a 2.3 Liter 4-cylinder engine and is front wheel drive.  The car has A/C, power windows and power locks.

The exterior of the car is in overall good condition.  The clear-coat was peeling off a few years ago and I had it repainted blue, as you can see.  The only minor issue on the exterior is some paint missing on the front bumper due to me pulling too far forward when parking into some icy snow.  There are no major dents, dings, scratches, etc on the car.

The interior of the car is in great, clean condition.  There are no stains, rips, tears, etc on the upholstery and the dash is in very good condition.  The only known issues on the inside of the car are that the bulbs that backlight the clock and radio are burned out, which doesn't really affect anything, it's just a little hard to see the buttons at night.  Two of the rear speakers seem to be blown out as well.

The manual transmission is operating great, there are no issues with the transmission that I have experienced.  The car always starts and the engine runs good for the most part, except as follows.  The check engine light is currently on (code P0171), which means the car is running lean (not getting enough fuel).  Due to this, the car hesitates under hard acceleration, and when returning to idle, the car shudders.  It does not really affect the drive-ability of the car, but it is a bit annoying.  There also seems to be a small oil leak on the driver's side of the engine, which has been there since I bought the car (it has not gotten any worse since I've owned it).  The CV joint also makes a clicking noise when I turn the car under full lock to the left.  I replaced one of the CV joints a few months ago, so I'm guessing the other one also needs to be replaced now.

The car has new all-season tires on it (maybe a few thousand miles on them).  The suspension, alignment and balancing of the wheels all seem good to me.

In summary, the car is in overall good condition, with a few minor issues that are easy to fix.  It would be great for a daily driver or project car.  Feel free to ask any questions prior to bid.   If you want to see the car, I am located in central CT and could arrange for a viewing / test drive.  Good luck and happy bidding!

NOTE - I have described every issue that I know of on the car to the best of my ability - I am not a mechanic.  I do guarantee that the car is perfectly drive-able at the moment, however I am selling the car in "AS IS" condition.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Are you the 2014 Honda Fit?

Fri, 28 Jun 2013

Despite being the oldest model in North America's subcompact sweepstakes, the current Honda Fit remains a paragon in its segment, offering unparalleled packaging, good road manners and robust reliability. In fact, even with far more modern competitors like the Chevrolet Sonic, Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Accent and Nissan Versa Note on the scene, it may well still be the best of the bunch.
All of which explains why we're so nervous about the next-generation model, shown in these apparently leaked stock shots scanned from an in-country magazine (no, that rear end really isn't that wonky, it's the page curl distorting the image).
Will the next Fit retain the current car's incredible seating flexibility? Will it still offer a sweet-shifting manual transmission and a four-cylinder seemingly happy to bounce off its rev limiter all the livelong day? We won't know until we try it, but if these shots are representative of what we can expect in North America, it certainly will look very different. While the same two-box shape with roughly the same greenhouse remains, the front end looks much more aggressive than before, with squinty-eyed headlamps blending into a Civic-like grille, all sitting over a lower fascia with unusually oversized air intakes. The profile view is dominated by the front quarterlight and a new sharply rising character line that originates in the front fenders and terminates in the headlamps.

Nissan Rogue gives brand rare monthly sales lead over Honda

Tue, 04 Feb 2014

The five top-selling brands in the automotive industry are usually Ford, Toyota, Chevy, Honda and Nissan, in that order. This lineup emerged intact when counting a year's worth of sales for 2013, and there was no reason to expect it would change at the beginning of 2014. But it did. Thanks to surging sales of its all-new Rogue, Nissan managed to pull ahead of Honda to become the fourth best-selling auto brand in January 2014, selling 81,472 units (an increase of 10.41 percent compared to January 2013) to Honda's 80,808 (a decrease of 3.96 percent).
The Rogue led the way for Nissan, contributing an additional 4,880 units in January compared to the same month last year - a 54.5-percent increase for a grand total of 13,831 units. But the Rogue had help, with the Frontier pickup adding an extra 2,307 units (an 87.9-percent increase), the Juke an extra 1,081 units (a 45.8-percent increase), the Altima an extra 1,051 units (a 4.9-percent increase) and the Maxima an additional 983 units (a 32.9-percent increase). Honda, meanwhile, was hurt by falling sales of the Accord (down 13.9 percent) and Pilot (down 7.6 percent), and stagnant sales of the Civic.
Honda, however, should take pride in the fact that it's luxury division, Acura, outsold Infiniti, Nissan's luxury division, last month - 10,823 units sold to 8,998. That margin of victory was large enough to keep the parent company of American Honda ahead of Nissan North America for the month of January.
