I bought this 1997 accord only about 6 months ago and the transmission went on it(I bought another off caigslist and did it myself..2 days, but this is a first for me, but wasn't that hard and I'm sure I did it right...I'm not a mechanic  but do most everything myself, just not good at electrical wiring things). Car is MINT otherwise(original paint , interior excellent, motor has 174k 4cyl vtec and runs perfect). Brand new struts all around and brake pads. Gorgeous car except something is wrong after I changed out the transmission. It works fine for a mile or so, then starts slipping like in neutral , but when I disconnect battery cable for a few moments and then reconnect it, it works fine again for a mile or so. Very weird, but I am frustrated wit it and already have $4200 into the car right now and am not familiar with electronic solenoids and other electrical things on cars. Its a beautiful car otherwise and I'd like to get at least $3,000 for it since the car really looks almost like it is NEW!!!! Seriously, its a beautiful accord and the 97's are some of the sharpest in my opinion. Its been garaged its whole life which is why I bought it, but I only put 1,000 miles on it before the problem started and I've got another car now and am not dumping more cash into it trying to "guess" what is wrong. Great for a mechanic or someone that knows more about these cars than myself. Pictures say it all. Seat covers and steering wheel cover I juist put on to protect the seats which are in perfect shape also. Dump a few dollars into it and you'll have basically a new car that looks it also. I'm not going to take a beating on it, so $3,000 is fair for the condition the car is in otherwise.  Plenty of 97 accord enthusiasts out there that would love it. Perfect for a manual tranny swap also(would definitely fix any prob with the auto tranny, but like I said, I think its electrical b/c when you disconnect/reconnect battery, all works fine again for just a little while. Selling in as-is condition on a first come, first served basis and will not hold w/out cash down. Thanks. Pics don't do it justice. The car is all original and in excellent shapebeside problem expressed. (Can have old transmission also for parts or whatever) Original paint is perfect, no dents/dings, etc.... Always waxed every few weeks... VERY nice looking Honda! I honestly don't believe you can find another 97 Honda accord ex in a s beautiful and rust free condition as this one. Welcome to inspect car prior to purchase, but info I provided here is pretty darn accurate. If you have a totaled one, with low miles, you could swap everything and have a pretty much new looking/running car, or just figure out why the thing keeps tripping something in the computer(at least that's what I think is happening because when battery disconnects/reconnects, the thing is fine for a little bit(warmed up OR cold). Could be something stupid easy, but I don't know, honest.  It started doing it shortly after I replaced the vss sensor on the transmission I put in it because the speedo and cruise stopped working. Now they both work but the other problem started within a day or two. It was a 1995 tranny I put in it, if that may have done something(and I think one said obd2 on it and the one I put in said obd1 on it(or vice-versa?).... Maybe that's what is tripping something, but like I said, I'm done guessing and pumping money into guesses. Looks as good as a car that's only a year or two old, honest! Very minor interior blemish's that are hardly even noticed unless you're me(I'm a perfectionist though)  If you want anymore detailed pics, just ask and I'll send them to you by email if that's ok.   Thanks for looking. You WON'T be disappointed by physical condition of this car. My neighbors thought it was brand new when I got it!!!!  Oh..., tires are prob about 65-70% still good and have a year or two of life still on them, depending on how many miles you drive a year.
NOTE:  I AM LISTING LOCALLY ALSO, SO MAY CANCEL LISTING AT ANY TIME. THANKS

Honda HR-V could spawn Acura variant

Thu, Feb 5 2015

We've been saying it for months now, but the compact CUV is the next big thing. Everyone, and we mean everyone, is at least considering getting in on the action, if they aren't already actively designing or selling, and that's true whether they're a premium or mainstream automaker. That, of course, includes Acura, whose parent company, Honda, has a compact CUV of its own coming to market very, very soon. With the arrival of the Fit-based HR-V, that begs the question of whether the near-premium marque will join this burgeoning segment. The idea of building a car below the company's entry level CUV, the RDX, is an appealing one to Honda Executive Vice President John Mendel, who called it "potentially the only place you could go," and would occupy the "white space" the company is looking to fill. While we might chuckle about the idea of a luxurious, Fit-based CUV, it's fair to say it could do well for Acura. It could certainly provide a foil to the very hot selling Buick Encore, and may even capture some sales from the luxuriously outfitted Jeep Renegade Limited/Fiat 500X Lounge. It remains to be seen, though, if Acura could build an HR-V capable of tangling with the new entries from Lexus, Audi and Mercedes-Benz.

Beleaguered Takata unlikely to seek automaker assistance

Sun, Feb 22 2015

Takata is continuing to deal with the massive airbag recall for millions of vehicles, but even if it doubles production, it could take years the company to build enough replacement parts to properly repair all of the affected models. If the supplier takes a hard enough financial hit whether through fines, lawsuits or just the cost of making the components, then the business might not be able to keep up production. Such a situation could put automakers in the very difficult predicament of deciding whether to provide Takata with financial assistance. Honda for one has little interest in lending further support to the beleaguered supplier, according to The Wall Street Journal. The Japanese automaker recently dropped its annual sales targets to put a larger emphasis on vehicle quality, partially in response to the inflator recall. It also struck a deal with another company for replacement parts and was rumored to abandon Takata for some future business. Honda CEO Takanobu Ito did leave the door barely cracked for possible aid. "Takata itself needs to figure out how to fulfill its duties, but if it makes any request to automakers, then we would think about that," he said, according to The Wall Street Journal. There isn't much likelihood of Takata needing a bailout, though. According to The Wall Street Journal, analysts aren't concerned about the company's short-term fortunes, and the supplier had about $728 million in cash as of last September.

Weekly Recap: Car-pedestrian crashes remained elevated in 2014

Sat, Feb 28 2015

The death of American Horror Story: Freak Show star Ben Woolf served as a reminder this week that car crashes involving pedestrians remain a problem, and a new study issued on Thursday reinforced that the situation isn't really getting better. The Governors Highway Safety Association found a slight decline, 2.8 percent, in the number of pedestrian deaths in the first six months of 2014. Fatalities dropped from 2,141 to 2,125 compared with the same period in 2013, though the association says it's a statistical wash when factoring in undercounting. Deaths are still 15-percent higher than in 2009. "The number of deaths remains relatively high and is cause for concern," wrote Allan Williams, who compiled the report and is the former chief scientist at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This is the first look at data from last year, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will issue its full-year results later. The GHSA found some progress on the roadways, as 24 states and the District of Columbia reported drops in pedestrian deaths. In some states, the problem isn't even a problem at all: Nebraska and Wyoming reported one fatality apiece, though large population centers in urban areas are where most accidents occur. "This is a clearly a good news, bad news scenario," Jonathan Adkins, GHSA executive director, said in a statement. "While we're encouraged that pedestrian fatalities haven't increased over the past two years, progress has been slow." Other News & Notes Cadillac previews CT6 during Oscars Cadillac previewed its upcoming flagship sedan, the CT6, in commercials that aired Sunday during the Oscars. As expected, the creased sedan carries on Cadillac's recent design language, and the car in the commercial looks like a larger version of the CTS and ATS sedans. The CT6 will be revealed this spring at the New York Auto Show and launch late this year. It will be assembled at General Motors' Detroit-Hamtramck factory on a rear-wheel-drive chassis, and the CT6 is the first car to use Cadillac's revised alpha-numeric naming scheme. The commercials also kicked off Cadillac's "Dare Greatly" campaign, which is the first with its new advertising agency, Publicis Worldwide. Honda unexpectedly changes CEOs Honda unexpectedly announced this week that it will change CEOs. Current chief Takanobu Ito will step down in June and be replaced by company veteran Takahiro Hachigo.
