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

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 'Hands' ad is a worthy successor to 'Cog'

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

The 2003 Cog commercial from Honda may have been named one of the best car commercials of all time, but an all-new spot called Hands looks to be even more entertaining even if it's digitally enhanced. The two-minute video - which starts and ends with a nod to Cog - highlights just about all facets of Honda's universe of products from passenger cars to racecars, the HondaJet to leaf blowers, motorcycles, ATVs and even Asimo.
Celebrating 65 years of innovation, the advertisement is as informative as it is amusing, and it even injects a little humor, too, like a glass of water being squeezed from the FCX Clarity. We just hope that the 1:10 mark of the video isn't hinting at a CR-V Convertible. We're not sure when Hands will air or if we'll see it on television here in the US, but the video is posted below; as an added bonus, we've also included the video for Cog.

Honda HR-V Prototype looks awfully familiar

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

Is there anything quite so exciting as seeing a brand-new vehicle for the very first time? Part of the allure of auto shows is the chance to see new ideas, just before they're fully baked and ready for public consumption. "Prototypes" you might say, of production models that are just around the corner. Or, in the case of the Honda HR-V, already down the block a ways.
Here in Paris, Honda has unveiled its HR-V Prototype, a nearly production-ready version of a "new SUV for Europe." Before we take umbrage with that SUV designation - as far as we can tell the Fit-based crossover isn't much of a mudder - we should address the fact that at this year's New York Auto Show in April, Honda handed over just a few images and specs of the actually production-read HR-V for the US. Presumably this is a "prototype" for Europe, where the NYC car is US-specific, but we're still scratching our heads a bit.
No matter! Here in France, Honda tells us that the utile little hatch will be available powered by both a 1.5-liter gasoline engine (the one American customers will see), and a 1.6-liter diesel unit, both wearing the company's Earth Dreams Technology label and presumably running cleaner and more frugally than ever. In Europe, a standard six-speed manual will come with both mills, while the 1.5-liter will offer the option of a continuously variable transmission.
