Up for auction is a 1986 Honda Accord with 35K original One-Owner miles, automatic transmission. This gem is a "lady-owned," well maintained vehicle that has spent most of its life garaged. It was used to drive short distances to work and around town on weekends. No long-haul road trips. In recent years, with work-on-internet, it has been driven only on weekends. 


The car has never been in an accident, has never had any major mechanical malfunctions, and has had routine maintenance and inspections. With normal use, there have been replacement batteries, bulbs, wiper blades, brake pads, etc., but nothing beyond that. There are no discernible leaks; not a single spot on the concrete floor of the garage.

The ONLY thing missing is: the trunk carpet. I removed it at a car wash, to vacuum it, and after cleaning the trunk, I drove away -- without the carpet! I didn't discover it missing until a day later . . . yes, I went back, but it was gone. In its place I have used a 4 x 5 grey synthetic rug, which fits well and protects the inside. The original white trunk liner remains, and underneath that is the original, unused, donut spare tire, and original jack and lug wrench.

NEW PARTS: There is a brand new battery (May 2013); all four tires are Michelin Radial Weatherwise Sport tires, 185/70 R13, purchased last year, with practically no wear -- less than 200 miles.

A NEW WATER PUMP and TIMING BELT, new in original packaging, not installed, are included with the car, (see photo), with original receipt, and are ready for installation by buyer. Receipts are included, and shown in photos.

Also included is a CD Repair Manual for Honda Accords 1986-1989. This is a pdf document with diagrams and instructions for any and all possible maintenance and repairs.

A passenger-side rear-view mirror has been added, which is adjustable from inside.

The AC, heat, defrosters, wipers, lights, original AM/FM radio and cassette player work fine.

Interior is all original, and is in fine condition. Seats, carpet, and all interior upholstery are soft and clean, no stains or rips. This has been a SMOKE-FREE, PET-FREE car for all its life.

NOTE: I am not a mechanic, and though I think it runs well, it could use a tune-up and may have issues I am not aware of. It's a very zippy little car to drive, with a low center of gravity, and handles like a sportscar. Gas mileage is excellent -- 30 mpg or better. 

As pictured, the flaws to this Accord are minimal: Small dimples and dings, mainly on the hood and rear fenders. The amount of rust is so tiny it was difficult to show in photos -- there are three approximately nickel-sized rust spots, shown in several of the photos. There is a small scrape on the right rear fender, by the tail light, a small dent in the left rear fender, and some dimples on the hood. None of these is deep enough to have progressed to rust. Most difficult to show in photos are extremely fine, spider-web-like lines beneath the finish, purely cosmetic -- see close-up photo near bottom of pictures. I will be posting additional photos by Monday, May 20.

The paint is all original. I was planning to give the whole car a going-over with rubbing compound and paste wax, which I think would do away with superficial scratches, but decided to leave that to the buyer, who may feel it's not needed.

Please refer to photos for details!!

Ever wonder how to really pronounce Japanese automaker names?

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

People tend to get very set in their ways when it comes to the pronunciation of words. Just look at the endless debates over whether or not to say the final 'e' in Porsche (which you should in terms of correct German enunciation). Or the argument about whether to follow the British convention and give the 'u' in Jaguar a special delivery or to say the 'ua' diphthong as more of a 'w' sound, as usually happens in the US.
This short video doesn't answer either of those automotive questions, but it does allow a native Japanese speaker to demonstrate the accepted pronunciations for several, major automakers from the country. One benefit is that it clears up the occasional debate over whether Nissan should be said with a long or short 'i' sound. Also, listen closely to how the female host says Mazda as Matsuda, the way it's actually said in the language. Even if this doesn't change the way you enunciate these brands, at least now you know the accurate way in Japanese.

2014 Honda Accord Hybrid [w/video]

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Delivering On Promises
The 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid should surprise no one. Its look is something we've seen since the non-hybrid versions went on sale last year. Its powertrain, mostly, we are familiar with from the already-on-sale Accord Plug-In model. And the overall vibe of the car? Well, it's an Accord, which has been a strong seller in the US for three decades, so much so that there's a very good chance you've been in one at some point, whether you noticed or not.
Honda's first attempt at an Accord Hybrid, released in 2005, put dynamic performance first, but it didn't match the public's maturing perception of what a hybrid is all about: fuel economy. The 2005 version was capable of a measly 28 miles per gallon combined, 25 in the city and 33 on the highway. Remember those numbers, and that the first-generation Accord Hybrid lasted all of three model years before being axed.
