Hi

Selling this Vehicle - 1997 Honda Accord EX V-tec Engine in fair to good shape, in different areas.

What's Good: Engine, transmission, interior, functions, tires, windows.
What Could use some work: Some scratches, few small rust spots (one on hood, and quarter panels), ABS not working, it tries to start (buzzes) then quits and light comes on, missing door lock (where the key goes in) on passenger side, passenger side rear view mirror has cracks (but has a convex on for full use), CEL on: The car gives code 65 on diagnosis - which mean it needs the secondary 02 sensor. Now the car has a new exhaust without a CATCON (its over 15 years, so it technically does not need a CATCON). The CEL may remain on even after replacing the O2. The engine otherwise is fine and quiet for its age.
Major issues: None.

See good points/highlights below.
  • EX V-Tech F22B1 engine, one of Honda's best.
  • Original Paint, never in an accident, drives straight.
  • Oil changed, Air filter changed on April 23. Timing belt was done approximately 4000 miles ago.
  • 2.2 L Four Cylinder 5-speed standard.
  • Engine, Transmission, Clutch in great condition, runs strong.
  • Idles steady, shifts smooth, accelerates very nice.
  • No leaks overnight.
  • Body in fair shape.
  • Interior in great shape.
  • Honda original cassette radio, great sound.
  • Good condition on tires. Two almost new. Doughnut spare with full tread.
  • 1455XX miles. 
  • A/c works good. 
  • Powered windows, mirror, sunroof, moon roof, cruise control, wiper, wiper washer, all lights everything in working order. etc. - All working.
  • Windows roll nice and smooth.
  • All switches work nice and strong.
  • Power seat height adjustment. works, lumbar support works.
  • The car shows little sign of use in the interior compared to its age and miles. Most of the miles are highway.
  • Originally a MA car for initial years, that explains the little rust spots.
Thank you and buy with confidence.

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.

Honda N Box + has incredible versatility as oddly humorous JDM video shows

Thu, 10 Oct 2013

We want the Honda N Box +. Strangely enough, this video spot, shot in Japanese and gushing with production values that are a bit foreign to us, makes us want the little Honda even more. You see, we don't need to know Japanese to see that the kei car's 'universal bridge' feature isn't a gimmick - it actually looks extremely convenient - and that the car's multi-space system takes interior functionality to a new level. We don't require a translator to laugh at the gags in this spot, either, though we won't pretend to understand them idiomatically.
But really, the video is worth a watch, if for no better reasons than to enjoy a confusion-based laugh, and to marvel at the tiny car's extremely efficient use of space. We don't expect the N Box + to be offered for sale anywhere near North America, so to get your kicks, you'll have to head below to watch the commercial.

Honda Accord Hybrid Falls Well Short Of 47 MPG, Says Consumer Reports

Thu, May 29 2014

Do not poke Consumer Reports with the hybrid fuel economy stick. That seems to be the lesson illustrated here yet again. The Honda Accord Hybrid is the latest to arouse the ratings bear, returning "just" 40 combined mpg in CR testing. Even so, that makes it "a class leader for fuel economy among midsized sedans," besting even the Civic Hybrid in CR testing, but that's still a lucky roll of the dice short of its EPA rating of 47 mpg. Remember, it was back in December 2012 that CR knocked the Ford Fusion and C-Max hybrid models for the exact same failing: certified with an EPA-rated 47 mpg but delivering "just" 40 mpg. Beyond that, while the Accord Hybrid earned a lower overall score than the traditional gasoline Accord because of its ride, handling and refinement issues, it gets unqualified applause from the institute for its "very impressive hybrid system." It will be interesting to see if CR's findings will negatively impact the model's sales, which to this point have been impressive enough that demand is outstripping supply. In the meantime, you can check out CR's brief video review of the Accord Hybrid below, and check out the magazine's press release chiding its mpg rating. This content is hosted by a third party.

Honda Accord Hybrid Delivers Class-Leading Fuel Economy, But Falls Well Short Of EPA's 47 MPG Estimate Jeep Grand Cherokee and BMW 328d diesels shine, Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid underwhelms YONKERS, N.Y., May 29, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Consumer Reports fuel economy tests found the Honda Accord Hybrid delivered impressive overall fuel-economy, tying the smaller Honda Civic Hybrid and just below the top-performing Toyota Prius hatchback. The Accord Hybrid's 40-mpg performance on Consumer Reports combined city and highway tests make it a class leader for fuel economy among midsized sedans. Testers found the Accord Hybrid has a very impressive hybrid system that smoothly transitions between battery and engine power. To save fuel, even at highway speeds, the engine willingly shuts off as soon as drivers lift their foot off the gas pedal. But Consumer Reports' engineers caution that buyers expecting their car to the EPA's figure of 47 mpg posted on the window sticker might be disappointed. "We've found that the EPA tests often exaggerate the fuel-economy of hybrids," said Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing at Consumer Reports.
