1996 Honda Accord Ex 2.2 4 Cylinder Vtec Automatic 4 Door Sedan 96 Low Reserve ! on 2040-cars

Hello, and thank you for looking at my item on Ebay. This item is for a 1996 Honda Accord EX, automatic, cloth interior, 4-cylinder 2.2 VTEC, front-wheel drive 4-door sedan. I have had this car for almost 5 years now and it never broke down on me even after 35,000+ miles. This Honda drives straight and quiet, shifts smoothly, and is fuel efficient, about 26 MPG average. When I bought the car almost 5 years ago at 175,000 miles, I had the timing belt, water pump, alternator belt, power steering belt, A/C belt, platinum spark plugs, distributor cap and wires, coolant flush, thermostat, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, brake pads all around, new tires, new exhaust, transmission fluid changed, front two side marker lights, headlights, A/C compressor, CV axles, and battery all replaced new. I recently installed a new battery just about a year ago. The first battery failed prematurely. Basically all major tune-up parts were changed. During that time, I kept the throttle body clean, cleaned once a year. Some poor-performance issues can be resolved by keeping the throttle body clean as far as I know and have experienced. Earlier this year, I had the front right wheel bearing explode on me while I was driving to New York City. I had the car towed back to New Jersey, and then had both front wheel bearing replaced with new ones. I also installed new upper control arms and new outer tie rod ends too during this time as they were showing signs of age. THIS WAS THE ONLY TIME THIS HONDA LET ME DOWN and it was my fault. I heard the wheel bearing noise for a few thousand miles and I just ignored it. Never again will I ignore a wheel bearing going bad. I drove from Philadelphia to Niagara Falls New York and back during a hot summer weekend for 4 hours straight and it did not break down on me or complain or showed any signs it was stop working. I went and came back in total peace knowing this Honda would not fail me. I drove it back and forth to Philadelphia and New York City for work, never a problem and getting stuck on the road. This car looks terrible because of the front hood. The hood got damaged while I was driving at 50 MPH one day. The hood latch released the hood due to lock failure and it popped open while I was driving and hit the top of the windows just one inch above the front windshield. Talk about getting the hell scared out of you. The hood did not rip off, just slammed onto the front roof of the car. The windshield and sunroof glass were not damaged. This happened 4 years ago, just a few months after I bought this car. I noticed a chip on the windshield that happened just about a month ago. This might be able to be repaired or may need to replace the windshield. Most of the body is in good shape, an easy paint job for sure. The A/C is not working, fans and heater work. I tried to get the A/C to work, but failed. This may be a simple fix by someone that knows how to fix automobile A/C systems. It does leak a little motor oil, only about 1 quart every two months or so. I think it is on the valve cover bolt gasket, not the valve cover gasket. All windows, cruise control, radio, sunroof, power mirrors, interior lights, dash lights, brake lights, headlights, speedometer, heater, and brakes all work. Front and rear brake pads changed in February, along with one new front caliper. The other calipers were cleaned and serviced. New rear rotors too. Parking brake works. Power steering works. Everything works except for the A/C, thermostat, muffler, and driver side window (sticks a little). Charging system charges at 14.5V+. Rear main seal is tight and not leaking at all. CV axles are in good shape. For more pics and to see a couple videos, please visit http://www.tnemicro.com/accord96. Please allow a few minutes for the videos to download. It is not a new car, but it sure runs like one. I have another car that I want to fix up and use from now on. I had this Honda for almost 5 years and I was very happy with it, but it is time for her to have a new owner. There is a very low reserve. Happy bidding!
