1997 Honda Accord Lx / 4 Door / Automatic / Estate Sale / Low 77,040 Miles on 2040-cars
San Ramon, California, United States
RARE FIND! SUPER LOW MILES! PROFESSIONALLY SERVICED SINCE NEW; RECEIPTS INCLUDED!
I am assisting a friend with the sale of her incredibly well-maintained sedan. I've previously sold two vehicles on eBay to very satisfied buyers. I tell it like it is so there will be no surprises. I have sold on eBay for 15 years, and have a perfect feedback score. This Honda Accord LX was purchased brand new in Dublin, CA by a grandmother. Her granddaughter inherited the car from her estate in 2012. She does not need it. The car has always been in California, never been in snow or salt. The car drives nice, as you would expect for a well-maintained, low-mileage sedan. No noises, squeaks, rattles, pulling to one side, steering wheel shake, or anything along those lines. If you are looking for a great commuter, high school, college, or family car, this is the one. All maintenance services were completed at the Honda dealer, or other trusted facilities, since new. Most service receipts since new are included (see photo of receipts). Too many maintenance service receipts to list here (see photo), but these are some of the larger items completed: Factory 7.5K service completed, oil changed @ 8,710 miles. / Factory 22.5K service completed, oil changed ($76.06) @ 21,774 miles. / Factory 30K service completed, new transmission fluid, new coolant, spark plugs, fuel filter, valve adjustment, oil changed ($430.15) @ 26,588 miles. / Oil changed @ 29,608 miles. / Factory 37.5K service completed, new timing belt, water pump, drive belts, valve cover gasket, oil changed ($553.90) @ 33,792. / New brake fluid, new engine coolant, transmission fluid changed, spark plugs, distributor cap, oil changed ($306.90) @ 38,813 miles. / Replaced spark plug tube seals ($394.25) @ 38,814 miles. / New wiper blades, oil changed @ 41,040 miles. / A/C serviced and recharged, new transmission fluid, new wiper blades, oil changed ($424.20) @ 43,172 miles. / Factory intermediate service completed, adjust valves, new transmission fluid, oil changed ($202.06) @ 44,493 miles. / Oil changed @ 48,056 miles. / New fuel filter, air filter, oil changed ($182.96) @ 51,096 miles. / Oil changed @ 54,591 miles. / New timing belt, drive belts, water pump, valve cover gasket ($772.29) @ 56,356 miles. / Oil changed @ 57,764 miles. / Oil changed @ 60,138 miles. / Oil changed @ 62,813 miles. / Oil changed @ 66,390 miles. / Oil changed @ 69,075 miles. / New Uniroyal tires purchased, mounted, balanced, new front brake pads, resurfaced rotors, front end alignment, oil changed ($721.70) @ 71,197miles. / Oil change @ 74,517 miles. / TIRES & FRONT BRAKES ONLY HAVE 6K USE; TIMING BELT HAS 21K USE; 85 MONTH BATTERY WARRANTY IS GOOD FOR 3 MORE YEARS.

Honda settles class-action lawsuit over oil-burning V6s
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Although we hadn't heard of this issue before, Automotive News reports that Honda has agreed to settle a massive class-action lawsuit brought against it for engine trouble potentially affecting nearly 1.6 million vehicles. The lawsuit includes Accord (2008-12), Odyssey (2008-13), Pilot (2009-13) and Crosstour (2010-13) models equipped with the 3.5-liter V6 with Variable Cylinder Management, which might experience engine misfire, excessive oil burning and premature spark plug fouling issues.
As part of the settlement, Honda will extend the powertrain warranty on these models for eight years (from time of purchase or lease) with no mileage limitation, and it will also reimburse customers who had to pay out-of-pocket expenses for related repairs such as spark plugs, pistons or, in some cases, apparently, an entirely new engine. (Of course, the repairs had to be related to certain trouble codes.) Lawyers will get no more than $800,000 from Honda and the guy who originally started the case, Vince Eagen, will get $1,000 for his "time and effort."
The final ruling on the matter will take place on March 21, 2014, and if you want to see if you're affected and what options you have in the settlement, check out this .pdf document with all the details.
Check out Honda's sweet stop-motion 'Power of Dreams' ad
Thu, Sep 24 2015Television advertising doesn't just have to be the necessary evil that pays for the shows that you want to watch, and Honda is absolutely proving that with a new two-minute commercial titled Paper. Using stop-motion animation and a heap of illustrated cutouts, the spot showcases what the Power of Dreams motto really means. It runs through highlights like the success in racing, automotive development, Asimo, the HondaJet, and even lawnmowers. The result of all that hard work is spellbinding. The entire two-minute spot already aired during a few NFL games, and doing that was a serious investment. According to Ad Age, during the time that the ad ran the estimated cost per 30 seconds was $300,887. Honda is also prepping a minute-long version for TV, but you can enjoy the whole thing right now in the video, above. HONDA BRINGS 'THE POWER OF DREAMS' TO LIFE WITH TWO-MINUTE COMMERCIAL CREATED BY STOP-MOTION ARTIST AND INFLUENCER PES Elaborate Paper-Flipping Technique Artfully Tells the History of Honda Honda Brand Marketing Tone — Simple, Clever and Emotional — Will Carry Through Across Upcoming Advertising to Help Build a Long-Term Emotional Connection with Consumers Sep 21, 2015 - TORRANCE, Calif. -- Capitalizing on Honda's established, strong brand identity and its core belief in "The Power of Dreams," the company is launching a two-minute commercial, "Paper," during CBS Sunday NFL on Sunday, Sept. 20. After months in the making, thousands of hand-drawn and -colored illustrations from multiple artists provide the platform for an intricate paper-flipping journey to beautifully show Honda's history and range of mobility products. "The goal is for the marketing itself to become a demonstration of Honda thinking and all the people that touch our wide range of products along the way," said Tom Peyton, Assistant Vice President of Marketing for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "This commercial stands for the courage and conviction to imagine and make dreams a reality and speaks to Honda's innovative nature and respect for personal achievement and contributions." "The Power of Dreams" philosophy speaks to Honda's belief that drives the company's R&D and diverse array of advanced-technology products, and to the determination to bring them to market. This rejuvenated approach to overall brand marketing is the sum of Honda's best thinking and could only come from the company's years of design and innovation.
Honda Walking Assist Device begins US testing at Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago
Sun, 17 Nov 2013For years, we've been wondering what implications Honda's Asimo robot could have in the real world, and now we're starting to get a sense of that. Honda announced that it will begin its first US clinical studies of the Walking Assist Device at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago in an effort to provided improved mobility for people who have suffered a stroke. While the automotive tie-in here is pretty weak, this is the first time we've heard about this device since it was unveiled back in 2008.
Weighing in at six pounds, Honda's device is fitted to the waist and legs of patients to make it easier to walk, and the 22.2-volt lithium-ion battery provides enough electricity for more than an hour of operation. According to Honda's press release, which is posted below, up to 80 percent of the almost 800,000 stroke victims each year (in the US alone) are afflicted with limited mobility, so a medical aid like this could have a big impact in the real world.
