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

Takata airbag recalls add another 5 million vehicles

Fri, May 15 2015

The Takata airbag inflator recall expanded by about 6.5 million vehicles recently when Toyota and Nissan announced global expansions to replace the faulty parts. You can add another 5 million more as Honda and Daihatsu also broaden their replacement campaigns. Although in this latest case, none of the affected models are in the United States or Canada. Honda is recalling 4.89 million more vehicles globally, and Daihatsu has about 260,000 to repair in Japan, according to Automotive News. With these latest expansions, all of the affected automakers have needed to fix about 36 million vehicles globally for these faulty airbags since 2008. Some of the first instances of these problems were found in an Isuzu campaign in 2001. This latest round of recalls was sparked by a study from Takata that found the inflators' propellant could be affected by moisture over time. While the automakers received this information in March, it took time to determine the number of vehicles in need of repair and where they were located, according to Automotive News. To make sure all of the affected vehicles in the US are repaired in a timely fashion, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is reportedly considering a strategy to force things to speed up. Honda and Toyota are already using outside suppliers for the parts they need.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

Honda, Volvo, Lincoln are North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year

Mon, Jan 15 2018

The Detroit Auto Show has officially kicked off, as it always does, with the announcement of the North American Car, Utility Vehicle and Truck of the Year winners. For 2018, those are the Honda Accord, Volvo XC60 and Lincoln Navigator, respectively. The Honda Accord beat out two other finalists, the Toyota Camry and the new Kia Stinger. The Accord stood out for its styling, drivability and standard equipment. The Volvo XC60 came out ahead of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Honda Odyssey minivan. It was chosen for its luxury, ride and value when equipped well. The Lincoln Navigator, a heavily updated model that remained true to the concept car on which it was based, beat the Ford Expedition, as well as the only pickup in the list, the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 (which was a finalist for Autoblog's own Technology of the Year Award). NACTOY juror Ron Sessions complimented the "more dramatic update" compared to the Expedition. "With its design now aligned with the Continental, the Navigator becomes an even more important image — and the profit-maker for Lincoln," he said. The NACTOY Awards have been around since 1994. A panel of 60 judges, all automotive journalists, whittle the list down to three finalists in each category before announcing the winners in January. The Utility Vehicle category was added for 2017.
