1999 Honda Civic- Mechanics' Special - Fix Up/sell Off Parts-local Pick Up Only on 2040-cars

US $1,001.00

This vehicle blue books for approximately $5,000 minus the damage in the right quarter panel from an auto accident that took place on December 3, 2013; however, neither airbag deployed.The vehicle was a good and dependable daily driver until accident - which was due to severely thick fog and lack of visibility. I am devastated over the accident and that I have to let this car go, as it is the best vehicle I have had since I was a teenager (and I am 40 years old now, if that helps figure the time period I am talking about..lol) 

 In April, 2012 the following work was completed on the vehicle:

  • spark plugs,                                                        
  • plug wires,
  • distributor cap,
  • rotor button,
  • fuel filter,
  • air filter,
  • prevention pipe,
  • gaskets bolt kits,
  • pipe,
  • muffler,
  • clamp,
  • brake shoes,
  • brake rotors,
  • brake pads, and
  • brake drums. 

All 4 tires in above average shape. It's a 5-gear manual transmission. The ONLY damage is to the right quarter panel (came off due to the accident and the front right headlight and blinker are missing); however, everything else with the vehicle is in above average shape, including the interior. This vehicle would be a good fixer upper for a mechanic or someone that enjoys fixing cars as a hobby. It would also be good to sell the parts off, as I know a profit IS to be made. Are you asking yourself, "well then why isn't SHE fixing the vehicle or selling off the parts herself?" That's a very good question and I do, in fact, have a great answer. I simply DO NOT have the auto knowledge to do either of these things - which is what led me to eBay.

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions, as I WILL BE honest with you. Thanks for your time.

Honda, SolarCity expand sun-powered partnership with new $50 million fund

Wed, Oct 8 2014

It must be solar-power announcement time. The DOE is ready to throw $25 million at concentrating solar power and New York State just announced $94 million for solar projects. At the broadly green-minded South By Southwest Eco festival in Austin, TX this week, Honda announced an expansion of its work with SolarCity to include a new fund that could finance up to $50 million in solar projects for dealerships and homes. Well, the homes of people who have purchased a Honda or Acura vehicle, at least. Stop us if this all sounds familiar. Honda and SolarCity announced back in early 2013 that they would work together on a $65-million fund to partially subsidize the installation of solar-panels at Honda dealers and on homes of Honda and Acura drivers. The new $50 million will be used to pay for not only the equipment but also the installation, which means that if you can get access to the money, you're looking at a pretty sweet 20-year lease deal to get solar energy for your home and could make it a bit more like the Honda Smart Home in Davis, CA (pictured). How sweet a deal? Well, there's zero down payment required and a 3-kW system starts could cost you just $25 a month, according to the fine print. Rates will vary, for sure, but if that sounds like something you're interested in, check out the Honda SolarCity site. The new fund builds on the previous work that, the two companies say, created enough solar capacity to offset "more than 400 million pounds of CO2 over a 30-year lifecycle." There's more in the press release below. SolarCity and Honda Announce $50 Million Commitment to Provide Solar Power to Honda and Acura Customers and Dealerships SAN MATEO and TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 8, 2014 – Today, at the SXSW Eco conference in Austin, TX, SolarCity® (Nasdaq: SCTY) and Honda have renewed their partnership with a new fund expected to finance $50 million in solar projects. The new commitment will make solar power more affordable and available to Honda and Acura customers and dealerships in the U.S. The companies have completed or initiated a range of solar projects for homeowners, dealerships and corporate facilities that total more than 12.5 MW of solar generation capacity. The two companies have already brought enough solar capacity online to offset more than 400 million pounds of CO2 over a 30-year lifecycle . The $50 million fund is a follow-up to a $65 million fund the companies created in 2013.
