Up for sale is a 1999 Honda Accord LX Coupe (2 Door) with approximately 198,000 miles. I recently purchased a newer Accord and do not have the time (or desire) to fix the issues with thiscar. I will try to describe the car as best I can so everyone knows exactly what they are bidding on. I have been driving the car as a daily driver (mostly highway miles during my ownership), and it is fully operational - you can drive it home. The car drives and runs fine, with only the minor issues noted below. I have owned the car for about 2 years and have put on about 50k miles. I have the title in hand, and it is a clear title.

The car has a manual transmission, a 2.3 Liter 4-cylinder engine and is front wheel drive. The car has A/C, power windows and power locks.

The exterior of the car is in overall good condition. The clear-coat was peeling off a few years ago and I had it repainted blue, as you can see. The only minor issue on the exterior is some paint missing on the front bumper due to me pulling too far forward when parking into some icy snow. There are no major dents, dings, scratches, etc on the car.

The interior of the car is in great, clean condition. There are no stains, rips, tears, etc on the upholstery and the dash is in very good condition. The only known issues on the inside of the car are that the bulbs that backlight the clock and radio are burned out, which doesn't really affect anything, it's just a little hard to see the buttons at night. Two of the rear speakers seem to be blown out as well.

The manual transmission is operating great, there are no issues with the transmission that I have experienced. The car always starts and the engine runs good for the most part, except as follows. The check engine light is currently on (code P0171), which means the car is running lean (not getting enough fuel). Due to this, the car hesitates under hard acceleration, and when returning to idle, the car shudders. It does not really affect the drive-ability of the car, but it is a bit annoying. There also seems to be a small oil leak on the driver's side of the engine, which has been there since I bought the car (it has not gotten any worse since I've owned it). The CV joint also makes a clicking noise when I turn the car under full lock to the left. I replaced one of the CV joints a few months ago, so I'm guessing the other one also needs to be replaced now.

The car has new all-season tires on it (maybe a few thousand miles on them). The suspension, alignment and balancing of the wheels all seem good to me.

In summary, the car is in overall good condition, with a few minor issues that are easy to fix. It would be great for a daily driver or project car. Feel free to ask any questions prior to bid. If you want to see the car, I am located in central CT and could arrange for a viewing / test drive. Good luck and happy bidding!

NOTE - I have described every issue that I know of on the car to the best of my ability - I am not a mechanic. I do guarantee that the car is perfectly drive-able at the moment, however I am selling the car in "AS IS" condition.

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.

McLaren pondering Honda-powered 911 killer?

Tue, 21 May 2013

As one of the premier sports cars in the world, the Porsche 911 is always driving around with a target on its rear-engined backside. If a new report is to be believed, the latest automaker with plans to build a 911-fighting sports coupe could be McLaren. Motor Trend is reporting that the recent news that Honda and McLaren are teaming up to build Formula One racecars could bear road-going fruit as well.
According to the article, the unnamed entry-level McLaren coupe may be powered by a Honda-sourced engine, but a detuned version of the 3.8-liter V8 from the MP4-12C is said to be more likely. All in, though, there is no solid information on the car just yet. As a reminder, M/T points out that the last time McLaren partnered up with a mainstream automaker, the world was introduced to the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.

Mugen works up 2014 Honda Fit

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

It turns out the Mugen really is fast. Just yesterday we got our first official look at the JDM version of the all new Honda Fit. In both Hybrid and minty-fresh RS trim, the Japanese Fit is more complexly surfaced and angular than in any of the previous generations. Mugen has apparently been working with the new Fit body for a while, as the tuning house has just released some images and information about parts for the new hatchback.
Suddenly the original Honda styling seems somewhat restrained.
Mugen has crafted body kit parts to work with both the Hybrid and RS models, right from go. Though detailed information is still a little sparse, we're told that parts include: two types of front spoilers, a bumper and a chin spoiler, side skirts, and a carbon fiber rear wing (for the RS).
