1999 Honda Accord Lx Sedan 4-door 2.3l Manual Transmission on 2040-cars
Fort Smith, Arkansas, United States
PLEASE SEE EBAY ITEM # 151356738238 FOR REFERENCE BEFORE BIDDING!
This sale is from a previous eBay transaction ( See eBay item #151356738238 ) I was involved in where the seller wasn't upfront with the REAL condition of the car. I won the auction and flew out to pick up the car with the understanding that the car was "HIGHWAY READY" and that the seller had performed a Jiffy Lube inspection (at my requested expense) to prepare it for the long trip back to Utah. The seller arrived with the vehicle on a trailer and after unloading the car, I exchanged keys for payment, and prepared to leave, I noticed a crack along the entire windshield that wasn't disclosed in the eBay auction as well as a baseball sized hole in the driver seat (back part right next to the door). THE FIRST FOUR PHOTOS THAT YOU SEE ARE THE PHOTOS OF THE CAR THAT THE PREVIOUS SELLER "TONYKAW7R" DISPLAYED IN HIS AD. ALL REMAINING PHOTOS ARE ONES THAT I TOOK UPON CLOSER INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE THE NEXT MORNING. Despite these things, I began to drive home to Utah from Memphis, Tennessee. After 100 miles, the check engine light came on. I stopped for gas and checked the oil. There was NO OIL on the dipstick. This tells me that he didn't change the oil out at all. I found immaculate records of oil changes, and other services that the original owner had kept in the glove box. It appears that she did a great job maintaining the vehicle. I had an oil change done, and the service man agreed that no oil change had been done recently and that it was due for one. I proceeded on my way, and then noticed that the car would shift into 5th gear, but the shifter would pop out from time to time. This kept happening until finally it wouldn't go into 5th gear at all! I stopped by a mechanics shop and they said it would be a "repair" fix involving the linkage of the car, tightening a bolt, etc. I got a second opinion, and they also agreed. I then noticed that reverse didn't work either. I didn't get a quote for that repair since I was desperately trying to talk to the seller about what might be wrong and how we could remedy the situation. Sadly, the seller discontinued contact with me and I was stranded in Arkansas without a way to get back home. I am asking for a "BUY IT NOW" price to compensate me for the money I had already sent the seller that I will probably never be able to recover. Ebay states that since the car is over 10 years old it doesn't qualify for the "Buyer's Guarantee" that they offer, and they encouraged me to contact authorities to get my money back from the seller. I will give you a list of things I noticed while having the car checked out. 1. The car shifts GREAT from 1st to 4th! Super smooth. 2. Drink console cover is broken off, but does fit nicely in the little slit next to it. 3. Almost BRAND NEW TIRES!!! 4. A/C is super cold and works great! 5. The rear passenger window rolls slowly - possibly the motor going out. 6. Front bumper doesn't fit exactly on.. Maybe a small accident? 7. The rear passenger door can't be opened from the outside. 8. No CD player in the car - previous seller said there was one... 9. Passenger front door can't be unlocked with key. DOES WORK WITH THE POWER LOCKS THOUGH. 10. Overhead dome light isn't attached firmly and lights don't work. 11. Dingy center console cover. 12. Struts need to be replaced. PLEASE CONTACT ME REGARDING ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THIS CAR BY TEXTING ME AT 801-288-2399 BEFORE BIDDING! |

2013 Honda Civic WTCC is ready for racing
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Drumming up a little excitement for the 2013 FIA World Touring Car Championship, Honda brought its new Civic WTCC car to the bright lights of Geneva for all to see. Honda joined WTCC late last year entering the final three races. The racing outfit will run this year's entire 12-round season, which kicks off later this month in Italy.
In the off-season, Honda made a few updates to its WTCC entry including better aerodynamics, improved suspension and braking and numerous engine and turbo enhancements. Two teams will field the new Civic racecar in this year's season: Honda Racing Team JAS and a private team from Hungary, Zeng"o Motorsport.
Fans of the WTCC in the US will be pleased to know that series makes a return visit to Sonoma Raceway on September 8 for the Race of the United States.
Meet the Kanjozoku, Osaka's infamous street racers
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Street racing is obviously illegal and incredibly dangerous, but that has never stopped people from doing it. While we don't hear nearly as much about the scourge of Japanese tuner cars as when The Fast and the Furious first hit theaters over a decade ago, illegal street racing is still bubbling under the surface all over the island nation. An excellent new documentary short from Bowls Films takes a look at the Kanjozoku from Osaka, Japan; a group that claims to be partially responsible for the tuning style known as JDM.
The group gets their name from their preferred route known as the Kanjo. It's a 4.77-mile long loop of connected highways running right through the city of Osaka. You might expect a hardcore group of illegal Japanese racers to show up with highly tuned Nissan GT-R and Toyota Supra coupes, but the Kanjozoku evidently eschew all of the others in favor of one particular car that they love: the Honda Civic.
According to the video, that vehicle of choice came in part from the city's location. Osaka was relatively near the one-make Civic races held at Japan's legendary Suzuka racetrack. The hatchbacks thus became the default weapons for the Kanjozoku's street battles.
2014 Honda Odyssey gets some tidy tweaks [w/video]
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Here in New York, Honda is offering up a refreshed version of its well-liked Odyssey minivan, bringing with it a slew of updates including the segment's first in-car vacuum. It looks to be a neat little feature, one that families will no doubt get a lot of use out of. Kids are spill-machines, after all.
On the outside, the Odyssey gets a revised front end with dark headlamp surrounds, shiny cross-bars in the grille, and an aluminum hood and bumper. We think the blacked-out grille trim looks fine on this charcoal model, but question how smart it will look on models with lighter paint tones. Out back, there are new LED taillamps, and it looks like a new wheel design will be on offer, too.
Other changes for the 2014 Odyssey include some structural reinforcements for improved safety and some new available nannies like lane-departure warning and forward collision warning. Inside, buyers will find new finishes inside the cabin, a redesigned center stack and pushbutton start. Scroll down for the full details in an official video and in Honda's press release, and have a look at new images live from the show floor in the gallery above.
