I don't respond nicely to lame emails that ask:
"What's
your reserve?"
"What's
your bottom line?"
"What's the least you'll take?"
"What's your bottom dollar?"
"Do you have a Buy-it-Now?"
"What's it take to buy it?"
"What's you asking price?"
Emailing you a figure will not happen but we can
converse about it.
It's a flippin' Auction!
That means...your
number counts...not
mine.
Oh, and by the way, if
you've sent me an email with one of the lame questions above, I'll instantly
presume you haven't taken the time to even read the content of the listing and
that you have no intention of buying at any relevant market value figure. 26
Years in the business has taught me that serious buyers read every line, look at
every picture and research well enough on their own to feel confident to make
offers.
Our presentations are
unmatched and we cater to the serious buyers.
THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN WORK YOUR DEAL IS TO CALL
ME!
My vehicles are so unique and rare that knowing what it should sell for is
nearly impossible.
That's why eBay's auctions...with serious buyers making offers...works it's
magic.

Back-story
from the owner...
So, you have been looking for
the nicest, best kept and maintained Honda Accord EX Coupe you can find...and you are here on eBay
because you have already seen and passed up a bunch in your
neck of the woods that were all less
than even your lowest expectation of quality. I
know how you feel. Every week I go to specialty and dealer-only auctions to find the
best of the best in what I call "niche autos".
I'll see roughly 1500-3000 local cars on my
lists every week and only find a handful of
treasures. First, I sit at my desk and
overview the online lists and cherry pick the
cars I've come to know are hard to find and
great for my business model of exclusively
marketing on eBay. Older low mileage cars and
cream puffs are always hitting my list when they
show up. Two to three a week may show up
between the three major auctions as well as a few local
classifieds. But seeing them on a list and
actually looking at them can reveal a very
different story. The true test of finding a
spectacular car includes years of experience in
professionally appraising them as I have; 27
years to be exact. I am extremely
picky about what I buy. Ownership history,
service history and condition, condition,
condition are very important to me. All too
often, great cars are not cared for as
well as they should be...but some are. This is
one needle-in-a-hay-stack you won't want to let slip past you.
Spectacular paint, stunning original
interior, low mileage that's unheard of, modern looks and class, not to mention
the reconditioning we did that you won't need to do...what more could you
want? A great deal? OK, got that covered too.
No, you will not be buying this car for
wholesale or low book values, but you and I
already know you get what you pay for. In
today's world of used Honda Accords, finding a $4000
to $7000 car that needs nothing and will be
exceptionally reliable...is like finding an
honest politician...and even if you do, it'll have well over a 100k miles on it. So if that's your budget, be
prepared to find and drive your local junk as
you won't find me selling it for that here
online. If you
want unmatched quality, service care and
condition, this car is a rare find. Listen to
what Foy, our writer had to say about his
weekend in this car. Then really look at
the service history recorded below and the
maintenance we did. Look at
every picture very carefully and see the
stunning condition up close and personal...then
make your call with your offer; you won't be
disappointed.
Thanks for reading and getting
to know us.

Lowest mileage, finest condition
2001 Honda Accord EX/V6 coupe available for purchase
anywhere at any price?
It's not often I dare use such strong
language describing a 13-year old
vehicle but this unbelievable Honda is in a class by
itself. It has been my pleasure to enjoy this
Accord as a daily driver and to say I'm impressed is an
understatement. This Satin Silver beauty landed at
Hansel Honda in Petaluma, California some time in the
fall of 2000 and today, the digital odometer stands at
just 24,320 . . .

Averaging 5-miles a day since new = cream puff, defined.
The terms "used" or even "pre-owned" simply
do not apply. With miles this low you expect a nice
car but it's more than that. The body is beautifully
smooth, the paint is gorgeous and panel seams are factory
tight. Inside; spectacular condition, leather trim and
from behind the wheel there is absolutely nothing seen or
touched that even remotely suggests "used" . . .
Sleek 2-door style, proven Honda
reliability and performance.
Touch the key and the 3.0 liter VTEC V6
engine springs to life, settling to a near silent idle.
The leather wrapped steering wheel shows none of the wear
seen in most used vehicles and being an EX, you're
surrounded with power conveniences and top level leather comfort . .
.
Most dealers won't spend the money
. . .
During initial inspection, the tires
at first appeared great, having plenty of tread. A
closer look however, revealed cracks in the rubber, a
sure sign of age and heat that can lead to catastrophic
separation at highway speeds. Given the
exceptionally low mileage, these were likely the
original tires on the car when new and with so little
wear showing, most dealers would not spend the money for
safer tires. We are not most dealers so, you get
brand new tires all around . . .
V6 oomph for the few.
Twin tailpipes and a badge on the deck
lid indicate this Accord has a 3.0 liter V6 in place of
the standard 4-cylinder engine. As good as Honda's
base 2.3 liter is, the larger 24-valve V6 changes the
fundamental character of the car and it's nice to have
under hood muscle to match it's sporty 2-door
appearance. Silky smooth at any RPM, (think Lexus)
VTEC technology gives this coupe an authoritative shove
to the backside along with an EPA estimated 28 mpg on
the highway . . .
Nice rear . . .
6th generation Accord (1998-2002)
styling has so far stood the test of time, aging slowly
and looking years newer than it actually is. The
coupe's rear-end treatment is especially attractive and
in fact, this particular car is so handsome, objectivity
vanishes from most prospective buyers. After just
a few minutes behind the wheel, I simply wanted to own
it. I still do, actually . . .
Where are you going to find another
like it?
Do we need to state the obvious?
After wading through the trash on eBay, it won't take long
to see that this Honda is one of absolutely none.
It is entirely possible this is the only Accord V6 coupe in
this condition with miles this low in existence. True,
there may be a better/lower mileage Accord sitting in a
garage somewhere (as this car apparently did for over a
decade) but this is the only one to come out of hiding at
this time that you can grab right now! Beautiful to
see, smart to be seen in, it is everything we say it is and
I was searching for excuses to put off having to give the
keys back. It suited my life perfectly and it will be
a flawless fit for yours too. With only 24,320 gentle
miles, book values and high mileage comps are meaningless.
There simply is no valuation or accurate comparison for a
car at this rare level of quality. Where are
you going to find another like it?
You're NOT...so pick up the phone and
let's make a deal. 99% of my cars are sold to the early
birds that make the phone calls with their fair offers
already in mind. If your idea is to wait until the auction
ends to see what someone else with willing to bid or willing
to offer...you will not be the owner of this car; someone
else will be. If you have no idea what to offer, I don't
have nor do I post selling prices. How in the heck can I
with a car like this that has no relevant comparables. If
you think any book value is relevant, call the owners of
those "Value Guideline" sites and have them buy one for you
out of their inventory. When they can't because they are not
in the business for searching the western United States for
one of a kind cream puffs like I do, then pick up your phone
and let's just figure out a price together based on your
offers and make it happen. Don't be shy, I won't bite and I
am the nicest guy on the other end of the line that just
wants to see you get the car of your dreams,; just like I
did when I got this one.
Honda calls this color, Charcoal. I
call it perfect.
The steering wheel, seats, the shifter and
even the door panels are trimmed in gorgeous leather that is
a little more than gray but not quite black. You slip
sumptuously into this up-level coupe much as you would an
S-class Mercedes or 7-Seires Bimmer. Indeed;
switchgear and various buttons all snick with the same
satisfying precision and you're going to love the perfectly
weighted feel of the variable assist power rack and pinion
steering. The CD audio system has an in-dash 6-disc
changer so there'll be no stopping and running around to the
trunk for new tunes. And, if you still have cassettes
from back in the day, it can play Stray Cats and Humble Pie
just as easily. Also, ice cold air conditioning . . .
There is a small rip on the
driver's seat (you may have to look at this pic a while to
see it) but there is practically nothing else in here that
is not new-car sharp. Everything works, nothing is
broken . . .
There it is folks - 1,800 miles a year or
36 miles a month; however you average it, this is very low
mileage . . .
3.0 Liter SOHC VTEC V6
200 horsepower @ 5,500/195 ft-lb torque @
4,700 RPM
Fully finished trunk and the rear seat
split-folds down 60/40. And, we're going to brag again
about the new tires . . .
Perfection.
Does this look like a brand new car or
what?
How many sellers show the underside of the
car? How many sellers' cars look like this underneath?

Your welcome . . .
These pictures are before we had
the bumpers painted/blended. A one-owner, more
than likely an elderly one, (there was retired military
evidence and Ex-POW items left with the car) and low
mileage diamond like this deserves to look good at every
corner and we thought you'd appreciate our taking care
of this for you. My guess is that grandpa had a hard
time turning into parking lot spaces and had to
apologize often for the scuffs he left on other owners
cars.
A note from the owner.
I am a “used car dealer” but before that,
I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high
quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve
been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding
selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize
in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that
were cherished by their previous owners. I have an
experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my
preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I
have therefore, built my business and reputation around
finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer.
Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict
requirements but a car must do something for me on a
personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the
bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional
vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably
won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of
business.
With just four employees and no sales
people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may
at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort
to create such an organization and often, an unusually high
investment in a particular car we are about to list. To
sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my
corner and Chris, owner of
A-Best Auto Repair
in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix
anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute
most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no
small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point
inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes
their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that
everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back
to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy
customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it
allows my writer to describe the car with ease and
confidence, something that simply is not possible unless
he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the
cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too
expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply
absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it
at auction.
After the vehicle is fully sorted it
arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious
eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see
on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else
tells him about the car as he combs over every inch,
researches its history and documents originality and
authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special
features, possible modifications and much more are used to
accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty.
Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150
high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey
equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the
very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a
logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with
close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed
views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a
lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty
of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep.
Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so
meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take
several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially
prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each
car lovingly receives.
Usually, I’ll also include a high
definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If
it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4
you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will
hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system
and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser
thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many
“dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We
do.
No “dealer,” on-line or in the real
world, takes it to this level. No other seller or
organization provides you, the buyer, with so much
information. I do this because it is the only way I can
convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or
feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I
say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay
in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every
buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on
eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that
are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought
it.
If you have any questions at all, please
call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is
sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most
accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If
you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my
bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the
conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the
trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest
nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a
number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste
your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.”
Serious buyers know the maximum they can
offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that
number.
If you hit the reserve, the decision is no
longer mine. I must sell at that number.
