Greetings. I just inherited a 2004 Vibe, so I must painfully give up my 1987 Honda Accord LX (4 door automatic). It's that ideal story - I bought this car 5 years ago from the family of a little old lady in Alabama who passed away, and it was in immaculate condition, with only 79,000 miles on it. I've mostly kept it in Chattanooga, but have driven it to Dallas and Atlanta with no problems. With only 2 owners, it now has under 128,000. The title is clear. As you can see from the free Autocheck report, the car has never resided outside of the South and has never seen snow. Autocheck says that it usually lists this vehicle with ratings from 9 - 27, however, this Honda Accord comes in with a rating of 34!

I've cared for it extremely well and kept the owner's manual and ALL the receipts for maintenance, which you can view in PDF upon request (including the little old lady's handwriting on the original buyer's receipt!). I've been taking it to the same two mechanics (who can't believe how good the condition is) for years and maintaining everything needed from oil and transmission fluid changes to a new water pump, new radiator, and new timing belt. (expensive investments to now be selling it a year later). If I had to list out the car's perks, I would say it has:

-Great vintage colors - gold outside and milk chocolate brown inside

-Carpet, dash, and interior in AMAZING condition - garaged most of it's life (that was her, not me. ha.)
-Regular oil, coolant, and transmission fluid changes (oil every 3,000 miles - coolant and transmission according to specifications - see receipts)
-Clean, well cared for engine (see photo)

-New brake pads and master cylinder (Winter 2013)
-New radiator and hoses (Summer 2012)
-New spark plugs and belts (Fall 2011)
-New timing belt and water pump (Summer 2012)

-Cold AC and great working heat
-Always rotated tires (every 4,000 miles)
-Radio/CD Player/iPod port (Fall 2010)
-Working automatic windows, all gauges, all lights, and blinkers
-The cool flip headlights (I'm going to miss these!)

-Smoke-free

-Bike rack (included!)

I love this little car. If I was married or had a long term partner, I would never get rid of it - it's a perfect 2nd car or just for for getting around town. But, I've been doing a lot of roadtrips, and it's not comfortable. Plus I don't want to pay insurance on 2 cars. The quirks I will warn you about are minor, but I just want to be as transparent as possible:

-The trunk is slightly damp smelling - I left it open during a huge rainstorm, (trying to dry it out!) and it got soaked. But I've vacuumed and shampooed it so it isn't moldy (see picture)
-The body is in great condition for the age, but has just one small set of dents on the front right fender where I hit a pole (see picture)

-You can see a little fading and spiliting on the top of the back seat bench (see picture)

-You have to charge the AC every other summer as it slowly stops getting cold

-The cruise control won't stay on sometimes; other times, it works fine

Quirks included, I believe this is a great deal for a car that is so well maintained - especially an 80s Honda. It may be old, but if you take care of it like I have, it's got another 128,000 on it! As you can see from online ratings (http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/1987-Honda-Accord-Overview-c4655) my reserve price is about on par for the average selling price for this car with this low of mileage.

In spite of all of this, please hear me out: you're buying a car from 1987. If you're looking for flawless, you should probably move on and buy something newer. While I personally believe this car has a lot of life left, (and is a cool little vintage machine!), I am not a mechanic and car professional, and am selling it as-is, with no warranties or guarantees, and by bidding on it, you release me from an indemnity, harm, or legal action as I have represented it to the best of my ability. The car is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time without notice should a buyer come along. Please bid carefully, but with confidence as my feedback rating is 100%.

If you are interested in shipping the vehicle, I am willing to work with you to get it to the appropriate local shipping company (Chattanooga, TN). Please be able to Paypal me the deposit within 48 hours of the auction's end.

If you are interested, please feel free to ask questions. Thank you!
John Mark

Honda discontinuing Euro Accord, no replacement in sight

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Honda has built two Accords for many years. There's the one we're familiar with here in the United States, and then there's the Accord sold in markets like Europe and Australia, known here in the US as the Acura TSX. But just like Acura did with the TSX, the Euro-market Accord has been discontinued.
The news comes from The Motor Report in Australia, which is reporting that the Accord Euro will be discontinued in 2015. Sold Down Under alongside the US-market model, the discontinuation of the Aussie car indicates an end to Honda's midsize sedan efforts in Europe, where there is no obvious replacement for the four-door and wagon models.
According to TMR, Honda Australia Director Stephen Collins indicated that focus will be placed instead on the US market "wide-body" model, as it's known. That said, this decision doesn't sound like it's sitting too well in Oz.

New Honda Fit ousts Toyota Prius as Japan's top-selling car last month

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

The Toyota Camry may lose its title as the best-selling car in the US next year and the Honda Civic has already managed to outsell the Toyota Corolla to become the top-selling compact in the US, but it looks like the domination woes have just hit Toyota on its own turf. Bloomberg reports that the all-new Honda Fit carries the distinction of being the best-selling car in Japan for October - the Fit's first full month on sale - outselling the popular Toyota Prius and Toyota Aqua (our Toyota Prius C).
Unlike the Camry's 16-year reign on US car sales, Japan's race seems a little tighter with the Fit most recently topping the sales charts in May 2011. Since then, though, the two Toyota hybrids have been the top two cars in for sale in Japan. The US won't get the next-gen Fit until the third quarter of 2014, but this new hatchback should be another solid option for buyers in the increasingly popular subcompact segment.

Refreshed 2014 Honda Civic Coupe to bow at SEMA

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

Honda has announced plans to bring a refreshed, 2014 Honda Civic Coupe to the 2013 SEMA Show, set to kick off on November 5. Honda's struggles with the ninth-generation Civic have been widely publicized, and while the 2013 model year sedan has seen a significant overhaul, the two-door is now getting some additional enhancements for 2014.
Honda has released one teaser image of the Civic Si Coupe to go along with the announcement, but we can discern a few things. The Si Coupe now features a larger rear spoiler, along with a restyled, more aggressive rear bumper, complete with a diffuser. The taillights look smoked, and the wheels look larger than the current Si's alloys.
Besides those details, it looks like we'll be waiting until November 5 to see just what Honda has in store for the Civic. Take a look below for the full press release from Honda.
