My wife's mother bought this car new on July 15, 2006. She owns it free and clear. Grandma is elderly and has put only 15,791 miles on it. It has been dealer maintained since new and the mechanics are excellent. So is the interior, and there's plenty of miles left on the tires.It has the basic accessories - A/C, CD player, radio,etc. Please note: IT HAS A MANUAL (5 SPEED STICK SHIFT) TRANSMISSION.

Grandma is a nonsmoker but she does have a dog. We vacuumed the interior, so there are no dog hairs. Nevertheless those with dog allergies should take this into consideration.

The exterior is another story. Grandma is moving into a life care community, and one of the reasons is that her eye-hand coordination has been declining in recent years. This car's body definately reflects that. There are numerous small doinks and boinks on all sides, and all 4 wheel rims have road rash. A piece of plastic body cladding that goes under the front bumper and wraps under the front of the car got damaged and was removed (Its absence is not noticeable but we wanted to disclose it). Fortunately the car has never been in a major accident and there are no major dents. I repainted many of the dings and scrapes (most of them pretty small) with matching touch-up paint. From 10 feet away it looks fine.

You are welcome to test drive it and have your mechanic inspect it. There are also a number of Honda dealers near us (Arlington, VA 22213). Most will do a pre-purchase inspection for you, and you can pay them with a credit card. If we have an agreement on the price we can make it subject to your approval of their inspection. I'll be happy to drive it over to them for the inspection.

The Kelly Blue Book private party price for this care is $9,596 in excellent condition, $9,263 in very good, and $9,064 in good. The mechanics and interior meets the KBB definition for excellent and the exterior meets the KBB definition for good. We are aiming for the KBB Very Good Price - $9,263.

If you are having the car shipped to you I'll be happy to coordinate the pick up with them.

Fernando Alonso expects to retire after McLaren-Honda

Fri, Apr 10 2015

When Fernando Alonso was three years old, his father gave him a model of a McLaren-Honda grand prix car. That's where his path to Formula One started, and it's where he wants his career to end as well. Speaking with Autosport, the two-time world champion indicated that he intends to retire after he's done at McLaren, rather than switch to another team. Of course, he didn't indicate just when that would be, but as far as he's concerned, the road ends in Woking. The highly rated and immensely successful Spanish driver has been on the grid for fourteen years now. He started out with Minardi (precursor to Toro Rosso) in 2001, then spent four seasons with Renault, where he scored back-to-back world titles. He then switched to McLaren for one year, where he won four races, then back to Renault for another three where he and the team fell off their form. Fernando subsequently switched to Ferrari where he spent the last five seasons, thrice finishing second in the world championship but never quite managing to clinch an elusive third title. This year he's back at McLaren but has had a bumpy start. After crashing during a pre-season test session, he sat out the season opener, and failed to finish the second round in Malaysia. He's now in Shanghai preparing for this weekend's Chinese Grand Prix. Like this writer, he'll be turning 34 in July, making him the fourth oldest driver on the grid this year. So he's still got a good few years in him, and will likely want to see the troubled rekindling of the McLaren-Honda partnership through to winning form. But while nobody can tell what the future will bring, it looks like any other team that hopes to lure the champ away could end up disappointed.

Honda recalls 304k Accords for sudden side-airbag deployment

Fri, Oct 30 2015

Honda is recalling 303,904 US examples of the 2008-2009 Accord because the side airbags or curtains can inadvertently deploy. The automaker said the problem is not related to Takata's airbag problem or any other supplier. Instead, the issue concerns the software's deployment threshold for side impacts. These sudden deployments can happen if the ignition is on, and the door is forcefully closed. They might also occur if there's a strong enough impact to the underside of the vehicle, like from road debris. As of October 12, 2015, Honda has 19 allegations of injuries from this problem; plus 311 warranty claims and 160 field reports, according to a chronology submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a Word document). The fix will be a software update to adjust the Supplemental Restraint System, and Honda will begin mailing notifications to owners in mid-December. Statement by American Honda Regarding Side Airbag Inadvertent Deployment Recall: 2008-2009 Honda Accord Sedan Oct 29, 2015 - TORRANCE, Calif. Side and/or side curtain airbags may inadvertently deploy if the ignition is on and a door is forcefully slammed or there is a significant impact to the vehicle underbody. Issue arises from side impact deployment threshold specification; Not a hardware or supplier issue. Free software update will adjust the deployment threshold. Honda will voluntarily recall 303,904 model-year 2008-2009 Accord vehicles in the United States to update the side Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) software, free of charge. The SRS threshold setting for the side impact sensor is such that with the vehicle ignition on, if there is a strong, non-vehicular collision impact to the lower body of the vehicle or if a door is shut with extreme force, the SRS control unit may interpret the input as a crash and command the side seat airbag and/or side curtain airbag to deploy. Airbags that unexpectedly deploy may increase the risk of injury. Honda has received 19 injury claims related to this issue. Honda is announcing this recall to encourage each owner of an affected vehicle to take it to an authorized dealer as soon as they receive notification of this recall from Honda. Mailed notification to customers will begin in mid-December 2015. Additionally, owners of these vehicles can now determine if their vehicles will require repair by going to www.recalls.honda.com or by calling (888) 234-2138.
