RARE FIND! PROFESSIONALLY SERVICED SINCE NEW; ALL RECEIPTS ARE AVAILABLE!

I am assisting a family friend with the sale of her incredibly well-maintained sedan. I have sold on eBay for 15 years, and have a perfect feedback score. I recently sold my own vehicle on eBay sight unseen to a very satisfied buyer. I tell it like it is so there will be no surprises. This Honda EX is so nice that I am confident even an out-of-state (sight unseen) buyer will be pleased. As the owner was buying her new car, the dealership, two salesman, and one mechanic were all trying to get this Honda from her!

This Honda Accord EX was purchased brand new in Dublin, CA by the current owner, a retired woman. Car was mostly garaged since new. All maintenance services were completed at the dealer, or at local Honda specialists, since new. She has every single service receipt since 1999 (see picture). Every recommended service has been completed on schedule, plus additional services above and beyond factory recommendations were done to provide the current owner peace of mind. Engine oil changed every 3,000 miles! Transmission oil, antifreeze coolant, spark plugs, filters, and other items have been changed multiple times. Tires frequently rotated. Brakes replaced early. Battery replaced early. The car received a $378.52 full service and inspection in preparation for sale and found no defects. This inspection was completed only one hundred (100) miles ago.

Too many services to list (see photo of receipts), but these are some of the larger items completed:

Factory 7.5K service @ 7,610 miles. Factory 15K service @ 15,219. Factory 22.5K service @ 24,087. Factory recommended 30K service @ 29,358. Factory recommended 37.5K service @ 35,852.

TIRES ONLY HAVE 13K USE; FULL SERVICE COMPLETED LAST MONTH.

The car drives nice, like you would expect. No noises, squeaks, rattles, pulling to one side, steering wheel shake, or anything along those lines. If you are looking for a good commuter or family car, this is the one. Non-smoker interior. No cat, dog, pets, or kids. The car has only been washed, not detailed, so the center console has some soiling. Otherwise, interior looks excellent, except for two cosmetic defects in the driver's door panel. One of these is hardly visible with the door closed. A/C blows cold. Factory 6 speaker AM/FM/CD player. Cloth interior. One rear electric door locks stick on occasion, but works manually OK. Ignition key needs a little jiggle to turn. Factory front & rear floor mats included. Original keys & original remotes included.

Clean title. Not salvage. Original steel and paint, with the exception of the rear bumper cover. The rear bumper cover was replaced in 1999 due to a minor incident and repainted. The bumper cover paint color is slightly off from the rest of the body, and also the bumper cover clearcoat is starting to flake. There are a few golf ball size dents due to the owner living in a golf course community (see photos). There is a scrape on the rear driver's wheel opening (see photo). A few other light scratches that you would expect from normal use.

Winning bidder must make contact within 24 hours of the end of the auction to make payment arrangements. Full payment due by Friday following auction. Car will not be released until funds are received and cleared. Buyer is responsible for vehicle pick-up or shipping. If you are a California buyer, allow time for a DMV or AAA visit to ensure a proper transfer of ownership. California License Plate Registration is current to 2/20/2014. California Smog Certificate (if needed) will be provided to buyer.

Please send any questions along with your phone number. The vehicle owner will contact you. This is a private party sale and vehicle is sold in "as-is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied from original owner to winning bidder.

Honda invests $215M in Ohio Earth Dreams production

Fri, 09 Aug 2013

Honda has announced a $215 million investment in a pair of its Ohio operations, taking its total tally for North American operations up to $2.7 billion in three years. The announcement was made at the 2013 Center For Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City.
$180 million of the investment is earmarked for Honda's Anna, OH engine plant. The money will allow the facility to increase its aluminum die casting and increase production of Honda's Earth Dreams Technology engines. Think of Earth Dreams as sort of like Mazda's Skyactiv line, only ED is limited to a new line of engines, rather than a full suite of automotive components. Anna will also be getting a new technical center to train engineers, techs, and line workers on powertrain technology.
The remaining $35 million is slated for Honda's main Ohio operations in Marysville. A 160,000-square-foot facility will be constructed near Honda's current properties, which will house another technical training center to focus on automotive manufacturing. The new building will also house Honda's North American Services group, as well as a new heritage center.

Honda demonstrates driverless valet parking system with special Fit EVs

Sat, 26 Oct 2013

There are many challenges that will need to be sorted out before full autonomous driving becomes a reality, but automakers are taking small steps toward this advancement with semi-autonomous technologies. Nissan, Toyota and Ford have already revealed various automated driving systems, and now Honda is getting into the game with an automatic valet parking system that was unveiled recently at the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) World Congress in Tokyo.
Unlike Ford's recently demonstrated self-parking Focus, which is fully operational on its own, Honda's new system requires input from the parking lot via cameras. Combining information provided by the car's rearview camera as well as cameras positioned around the parking lot, drivers are able to drop their car off at a central location, and using a touchscreen display, the car can park itself and return when the driver is ready to leave. The benefit of this is that multiple cars can be parked at the same time and no additional sensors (other than a backup camera) are needed for the car, but the downside is that it can only operate on properly equipped parking lots. According to Honda's demonstration, this system can be practical by 2020.
Honda also showed off some semi-autonomous driving and non-contact electric vehicle recharging technologies at the ITS World Congress, although information is limited and there are no demonstrations available. Scroll down to read more about Honda's latest tech, including a video demonstration of the automatic valet parking system.

Honda issues bizarre non-recall on Odyssey over badge placement

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Without looking under the hood or at a vehicle history report, one of the easiest way to tell if a car has had body work done is to check the location and placement of the exterior badges. A crooked, misplaced or missing badge can be a telltale sign that there has been some sort of body or paint work. For this reason, Honda is suggesting that some owners of the 2014 Odyssey take their vans into the dealership for a little rebadging.
The topic was brought to light after Consumer Reports received a notice from Honda saying that the "Odyssey" badge on its test vehicle was incorrectly installed at the factory. The badge is supposed to go on the driver's side of the liftgate (as shown above), but the customer vehicles had it placed on the passenger side of the car. Not a huge deal unless an owner is trying to sell the vehicle and the improperly installed badge leads potential owners into believing the vehicle may have been damaged in some way. Here's what Honda said in its letter:
On some 2013 Odyssey vehicles, the Odyssey emblem was incorrectly installed on the passenger's side of the rear tailgate. The emblem should be installed on the drivers' side of the rear tailgate. American Honda Motor Company highly recommends that you participate in this Product Update. The placement of the emblem may indicate that the vehicle has had repairs performed that are consistent with it being in a crash. This could affect the resale value of the vehicle.
