1999 Honda Accord Lx Coupe As Is on 2040-cars

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.

Honda launches new Fit in Japan, has big expectations for North America

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

Honda has officially launched the Fit sub-compact in its home market, ahead of its eventual arrival in North America. The third-generation Fit is wildly important for Honda, with the company's president, Takanobu Ito, saying, "This is the most important model."
The third-generation Fit is a ground-up reworking of the car that we've come to know. It will pioneer Honda's new design language, Exciting H Design (seriously) and will also be the very first Fit to be manufactured in North America. Thanks to a Mexican factory that is scheduled to open in the spring of 2014, Honda will be able to produce 200,000 Fits for the North American market in North America, saving the brand a huge amount of cash.
As for that Exciting H Design, it's meant to be sleeker and more modern, according to Automotive News. It's not bad looking, but the overall design is far less important than what's under that hood. The vehicle you see above is a Fit RS, which has quite a resemblance to the rumored Fit Mugen. There's not a lot of detail on this model, but based on looks alone, we certainly hope it'll be coming to the North American market - it'd make a great Fit Sport. A hybrid variant will also come to the US market, and that car is returning impressive numbers on the Japanese cycle: 86 miles per gallon so far, thanks to the combination of an 1.5-liter, Atkinson-cycle, four-cylinder engine and a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission. That's a 35-percent improvement over the current, JDM Fit Hybrid.

Honda Ridgeline to take two-year dirt nap before resurrection

Sun, 14 Jul 2013

Three years ago, Honda said there would be no new-generation Honda Ridgeline coming in 2011. In late 2011, when there was still no word on a replacement for the little truck that's been carrying on pretty much the same since 2006, within the space of a month both Honda's US truck planner and the CEO of American Honda said the Ridgeline would continue and that it was an integral part of the lineup.
But that doesn't mean it can't take a two-year timeout. A report in Ward's Auto says that the Lincoln, AL plant that builds the Ridgeline will cease its production in September, 2014 and a new one won't arrive until 2016. That's a walk-back from when the plan was to have the current truck run until a week before the next-generation truck went into production. Even so, Honda still says the Ridgeline isn't going away forever, a company spokesman telling Ward's, "Ridgeline continues to be an important part of our lineup."
2016 is a long way away, though, and we all know how quickly a product line put into a coma can end up suffering fatal consequences. Even though we keep talking about the Ridgeline, perhaps what Honda is actually saying is that the small pickup market is important to them, and they're working on a way to take better advantage of it than the Ridgeline was doing. We'll find out one way or the other in three years.

Honda shows off Civic Tourer ahead of Frankfurt debut

Sun, 11 Aug 2013

This is the new Honda Civic Tourer that will be appearing at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month and that will go on sale in Europe early next year. Created by Honda's European studio, it tweaks the lines and the glasswork of the five-door Civic to create a more muscular profile below the shoulder.
When it's time to haul, a lower load height allows access to a slightly higher floor, arranged so that it creates a flat surface when the rear seats are folded. Honda says the Civic Tourer offers class-leading interior space, the cargo area able to swallow 624 liters from the floor to the window line with the rear seats up, 1,668 liters with the rear seats down and items piled up to the roof. Extra storage can be had in below-floor spaces, and even the rear seat bolsters can flip up to make space for tall goods. An included tonneau cover hides valuables in the back and can be stored out of the way when not in use.
Under the hood will be either the Earth Dreams 1.6 i-DTEC diesel engine or the 1.8 i-VTEC petrol engine, working through a choice of manual or automatic transmissions. An adaptive damper system aims to provide handling to match the looks, with available comfort, normal and dynamic settings.
