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 recalls 2012-13 Fit Sport models over stability control issue

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Honda is recalling 43,782 examples of the 2012 and 2013 Fit Sport in the US and close to 2,000 more in Canada. During federal compliance testing it was discovered that the software for the Vehicle Stability Assist allows an excessive tilt angle before applying the brakes to prevent a crash. The issue only affects Fit Sports equipped with a certain kind of tire.
Honda will notify owners in mid-May, at which time owners can take their cars to dealers to have the stability control software updated free of charge. There's a press release from Honda below with more details.
