Greetings. I just inherited a 2004 Vibe, so I must painfully give up my 1987 Honda Accord LX (4 door automatic). It's that ideal story - I bought this car 5 years ago from the family of a little old lady in Alabama who passed away, and it was in immaculate condition, with only 79,000 miles on it. I've mostly kept it in Chattanooga, but have driven it to Dallas and Atlanta with no problems. With only 2 owners, it now has under 128,000. The title is clear. As you can see from the free Autocheck report, the car has never resided outside of the South and has never seen snow. Autocheck says that it usually lists this vehicle with ratings from 9 - 27, however, this Honda Accord comes in with a rating of 34!

I've cared for it extremely well and kept the owner's manual and ALL the receipts for maintenance, which you can view in PDF upon request (including the little old lady's handwriting on the original buyer's receipt!). I've been taking it to the same two mechanics (who can't believe how good the condition is) for years and maintaining everything needed from oil and transmission fluid changes to a new water pump, new radiator, and new timing belt. (expensive investments to now be selling it a year later). If I had to list out the car's perks, I would say it has:

-Great vintage colors - gold outside and milk chocolate brown inside

-Carpet, dash, and interior in AMAZING condition - garaged most of it's life (that was her, not me. ha.)
-Regular oil, coolant, and transmission fluid changes (oil every 3,000 miles - coolant and transmission according to specifications - see receipts)
-Clean, well cared for engine (see photo)

-New brake pads and master cylinder (Winter 2013)
-New radiator and hoses (Summer 2012)
-New spark plugs and belts (Fall 2011)
-New timing belt and water pump (Summer 2012)

-Cold AC and great working heat
-Always rotated tires (every 4,000 miles)
-Radio/CD Player/iPod port (Fall 2010)
-Working automatic windows, all gauges, all lights, and blinkers
-The cool flip headlights (I'm going to miss these!)

-Smoke-free

-Bike rack (included!)

I love this little car. If I was married or had a long term partner, I would never get rid of it - it's a perfect 2nd car or just for for getting around town. But, I've been doing a lot of roadtrips, and it's not comfortable. Plus I don't want to pay insurance on 2 cars. The quirks I will warn you about are minor, but I just want to be as transparent as possible:

-The trunk is slightly damp smelling - I left it open during a huge rainstorm, (trying to dry it out!) and it got soaked. But I've vacuumed and shampooed it so it isn't moldy (see picture)
-The body is in great condition for the age, but has just one small set of dents on the front right fender where I hit a pole (see picture)

-You can see a little fading and spiliting on the top of the back seat bench (see picture)

-You have to charge the AC every other summer as it slowly stops getting cold

-The cruise control won't stay on sometimes; other times, it works fine

Quirks included, I believe this is a great deal for a car that is so well maintained - especially an 80s Honda. It may be old, but if you take care of it like I have, it's got another 128,000 on it! As you can see from online ratings (http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/1987-Honda-Accord-Overview-c4655) my reserve price is about on par for the average selling price for this car with this low of mileage.

In spite of all of this, please hear me out: you're buying a car from 1987. If you're looking for flawless, you should probably move on and buy something newer. While I personally believe this car has a lot of life left, (and is a cool little vintage machine!), I am not a mechanic and car professional, and am selling it as-is, with no warranties or guarantees, and by bidding on it, you release me from an indemnity, harm, or legal action as I have represented it to the best of my ability. The car is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time without notice should a buyer come along. Please bid carefully, but with confidence as my feedback rating is 100%.

If you are interested in shipping the vehicle, I am willing to work with you to get it to the appropriate local shipping company (Chattanooga, TN). Please be able to Paypal me the deposit within 48 hours of the auction's end.

If you are interested, please feel free to ask questions. Thank you!
John Mark

For an overview on the 1987 Honda Accord, cargurus.com says:

Many of those who bought the '87 Honda Accord when it was new are still driving it and have odometer readings from 162,000 to more than 300,000. It's no wonder then that many say it's a car that just can't die.

Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.

Honda reveals IndyCar aero kit

Tue, Mar 10 2015

The IndyCar Series is stepping into a new era of competition that won't quite see manufacturers building their own chassis like they do in Formula One, but it's inching closer. This season, participating automakers will provide their customer teams not only with engines as they have in the past, but with complete aerodynamic packages. Chevy revealed its new aero kit last month, and now Honda – the only other automaker currently in the series Â– has followed suit with its own. Like Chevy's package, the new Honda kit is designed specifically for road courses and short ovals with a high degree of downforce that would hamper high-speed running around super speedways. The lower-drag package will likely be revealed sometime before the Indy 500 that will be the first speedway race on the calendar when it kicks off in May. The design of the package is a result of what Honda describes as an exhaustive development process that borrowed from the company's experience with Le Mans prototypes. It started out using CAD and CFD software before being validated on simulators, tested in wind tunnels and run on track with participation from Andretti Autosport. The aerodynamic appendages will be affixed to the existing Dallara chassis and powered by Honda's V6 engines, allowing individual teams to tweak the elements to their own requirements. With the manufacturers now allowed a greater degree of participation, series organizers will undoubtedly be hoping for more of them to join in on the action. The last time there were more than two automakers participating was in 2005, before Toyota pulled out. Ford was the sole engine supplier in the Champ Car series from 2003 until the series reunited with the Indy Racing League to form the current IndyCar Series. Honda Unveils 2015 IndyCar Series Aero Kits Mar 9, 2015 - TORRANCE, Calif. - Road Course/Short Oval package shown - Efficient development utilized CFD and multiple simulation tools - Wide range of aerodynamic tuning options available to teams Honda today debuted the package of aerodynamic upgrades and components its teams will use in the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series, as the manufacturer seeks to add to an already impressive list of accomplishments in American open-wheel racing. The 2015 Honda Indy car "aero kit", produced by Honda Performance Development, Honda's racing arm in North America, includes nearly 200 individual pieces that can be fitted to the existing Honda-powered Dallara Indy car chassis.
