Hopewell Junction, New York, United States

Hopewell Junction, New York, United States

PLEASE READ ALL DISCLOSURES BELOW BEFORE BIDDING.  (ADDITIONAL PICTURES BELOW SCROLL DOWN)  

I am an honest Ebay seller and up for auction is my personal one owner 2004 Honda Accord EX-L V6.  THE CAR HAS SOME ISSUES that may or may not need to be addressed.  There is no reserve and highest bid takes the car home along with decision to address any existing issues or drive it as is.  DO NOT BID if you do not have the CASH or BANK CERTIFIED CHECK to complete the transaction.  Any other form of payment will need to clear my bank account before I give up the title.  $300 Paypal deposit due within 24 hours auction end and you must pick up the vehicle with full remaining payment within 7 days of auction end.  Title is Clear NYS with one recorded lien and I have the letter from the bank showing the lien bing satisfied quite a few years back.  

THE BAD:

1)  The car has 167,000 miles on it (still being driven around town so mileage may be +/- 200 miles of that number).  It's USED with expected parking lot dents and dings scratches.  I also tried to repaint the front end 2 yrs ago with DUPLI-color Nighthawk black pearl spay paint a few years ago as the car had front end stone chips and cracking from exposure to sun.  It looks like crap now and could use a nice front end paint job as the existing front end paint does not match rest of the vehicle. AND ther is spot on front of hood with minor rust starting to show.  SEE Pictures.
2)  The engine's #5 cylinder had a spark plug come loose.  This is a common problem on Honda v6's.  We had to re-tap the spark plug threads and re-threaded with a TIME-SERT copper sleeve.  Also replaced the #5 ignition coil.  Car runs and idles fine...I have video of the car idling. (google timesert and honda v6 to read about common issue yourself)
3)  When starting the car and on occasion while driving, there is a drone type noise present.  It feels like a engine mount going bad or some other type of hum.  I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE CAUSE IS and as such, this will be up to the winning bidder to decide whether to address (fix) or not.  This may be a MAJOR issue or not, however, the car drives fine as is.
4)  The ABS system light is on (Pictured).  I brought it in to Friendly Honda in Poughkeepsie, NY when the car recently had it's power steering hose recall service performed and they diagnosed it as a bad drivers side seat belt harness.  The car still passes NYS inspection, however the cost for the wiring harness, per the service manager is $185 and the seat belt buckle replacement is covered by Honda warranty.   I would advise the new owner to have this addressed, however as I stated, the car will pass NYS inspection, as is.
5) The door on the storage cubby, in front of the shifter is broken and does not stay closed.  It is stuck in the open position and that's fine by me, but you may want to fix this
6) The pasenger side sunvisor mirror has a broken cover.  No need to replace, but want to disclose.
7)  The car could use a good interior detail, the driver side seat has cracks in the leather and is understandably worn with 167K miles of use.  The carpets and truck could use a good shampoo.  I have vacuumed the interior.
8) Car has aftermarket Ipod adapter connector installed, but stopped working a few months ago.  no time to fix it.

The Good

I have religiously maintained the engine and transmission of this car.  Outside of the spark plug issue on the #5 cylinder, this car has been the best car I have ever owned and all minor maintenance was done by me.

1)  Engine oil and filter changed every 5K miles with Mobil-1 fill synthetic 5W-20 in it since it had 10k miles on odometer
2)  Transmission fluid has been drained and filled every 15K miles with OEM Honda ATF Fluid
3)  Timing Belt and Spark plugs replaced at 105K miles, as recommended by Honda.  The shop owner showed me the belt and it looked new at 105K, but it was replaced along with a new water pump installed.
4)  Brake rotors and pads were replaced about 10K miles ago.  I only drive highway and my brakes usually last 70-80K miles, so assume at least 50% life left.
5)  NO ACCIDENTS - the car looks rough up front, but it is collision free.  I have owned it since it had 7 miles on it and it's about 90% highway use... NY roads and salt did in the front end paint job.
6) Includes rear wing and fog lamp options installed by dealer.  Spare tire was never used.
7) INCLUDES extra set of matching HONDA rims and tires.  The spare set has the all seasons on it right now.  I can help you swap it over from the winter that are on the car now.
- The all seasons may have another 10k miles of thread left on them and the winter set is about 50% worn
8) Includes WORN but still useable beige weathertech floor mats for front driver and passenger side floor.

THAT's it.  What you see pictured is what you are bidding on.  Please do not bid unless you are sure you are going to buy it.  If you have any questions, please contact me via ebay or at 845-243-0060 BEFORE bidding.

This is a great car for a mechanic or someone that is handy around cars to fix any existing issues.  I am selling it as I have bought a new commuter car with better gas mileage to replace it

Good luck...no reserve, and if you have less than 10 feedback, please contact me first with your name and number, before bidding.  Otherwise your bid will be cancelled.

Thanks

Next Honda Ridgeline to eschew weird visuals, go mainstream?

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

Last year, Honda gave us the first furtive glance at the next-generation Ridgeline with a shadowy photo of it in profile (above), and it promised that the pickup would "come to market in less than two years." That would have put the truck on track for a 2015 debut, but the automaker hasn't said anything more officially about the new model since then.
A new report from USA Today might shed some new light on the mysterious model. It claims that the next Ridgeline has more conventional pickup styling than the original model in a bid to conquest some buyers. You can get that feeling from the sketch, which appears to showing something far more traditional than the unorthodox original Ridgeline, whose odd tapering bedsides terminated in a double-hinged tailgate.
USA Today goes on to claim that the new Ridgeline will go on sale around late 2015 or early 2016. That's a bit later than expected, but fits with an earlier rumor.

This is what Honda's new F1 engine will sound like

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

It appears that not even the legendary pairing of McLaren and Honda can produce a 2015-regulation Formula One engine that sounds as good as the current V8s. Much like Mercedes-AMG Petronas, McLaren Honda have released a clip of their turbocharged, 1.6-liter V6 ahead of next season, and well, at least to our ears, it's not the sweetest of singers.
We've reported on concerns that the new engines wouldn't sound "right," after years of the high-revving V8s and V10s. The more we're hearing of these new engines, the more reasonable those worries seem. That said, we'll need to wait until we really hear these cars driven in anger to render a final verdict.
Scroll down to view the official press release from Honda and to hear what the future McLaren Honda will sound like when it hits the grid in 2015. For comparison, we've also included some on-board footage of Jenson Button's McLaren's V8 from last season.

Honda reveals more with Civic Type R concept bound for Paris

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

The reveal of the next-generation Honda Civic Type R has been a gradual one. First Honda showed us a camouflaged prototype, then let us drive one at its Japanese proving ground and followed up with a concept at the Geneva Motor Show. Now with the Paris Motor Show looming on the horizon, it has revealed yet another concept to keep hot-hatch enthusiasts on their toes.
The second Civic Type R concept appears almost identical to the first one - right down to the aggressive aero kit, quad exhaust tips, oversized wheels and ultra-low-profile rubber - but wears a new coat of Superman blue with go-fast decals. With its release, however, Honda has confirmed some of the salient details set for the production version.
In the nose sits a 2.0-liter turbo four with 276 horsepower and a 7,000-rpm redline, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Adaptive dampers and a "steer axis" system promise to keep the power under control, while a push of the +R button tightens up the suspension, steering and torque mapping.
