Up for sale is a 1999 Honda Accord LX Coupe (2 Door) with approximately 198,000 miles.  I recently purchased a newer Accord and do not have the time (or desire) to fix the issues with thiscar.  I will try to describe the car as best I can so everyone knows exactly what they are bidding on.  I have been driving the car as a daily driver (mostly highway miles during my ownership), and it is fully operational - you can drive it home.  The car drives and runs fine, with only the minor issues noted below.  I have owned the car for about 2 years and have put on about 50k miles.  I have the title in hand, and it is a clear title.

The car has a manual transmission, a 2.3 Liter 4-cylinder engine and is front wheel drive.  The car has A/C, power windows and power locks.

The exterior of the car is in overall good condition.  The clear-coat was peeling off a few years ago and I had it repainted blue, as you can see.  The only minor issue on the exterior is some paint missing on the front bumper due to me pulling too far forward when parking into some icy snow.  There are no major dents, dings, scratches, etc on the car.

The interior of the car is in great, clean condition.  There are no stains, rips, tears, etc on the upholstery and the dash is in very good condition.  The only known issues on the inside of the car are that the bulbs that backlight the clock and radio are burned out, which doesn't really affect anything, it's just a little hard to see the buttons at night.  Two of the rear speakers seem to be blown out as well.

The manual transmission is operating great, there are no issues with the transmission that I have experienced.  The car always starts and the engine runs good for the most part, except as follows.  The check engine light is currently on (code P0171), which means the car is running lean (not getting enough fuel).  Due to this, the car hesitates under hard acceleration, and when returning to idle, the car shudders.  It does not really affect the drive-ability of the car, but it is a bit annoying.  There also seems to be a small oil leak on the driver's side of the engine, which has been there since I bought the car (it has not gotten any worse since I've owned it).  The CV joint also makes a clicking noise when I turn the car under full lock to the left.  I replaced one of the CV joints a few months ago, so I'm guessing the other one also needs to be replaced now.

The car has new all-season tires on it (maybe a few thousand miles on them).  The suspension, alignment and balancing of the wheels all seem good to me.

In summary, the car is in overall good condition, with a few minor issues that are easy to fix.  It would be great for a daily driver or project car.  Feel free to ask any questions prior to bid.   If you want to see the car, I am located in central CT and could arrange for a viewing / test drive.  Good luck and happy bidding!

NOTE - I have described every issue that I know of on the car to the best of my ability - I am not a mechanic.  I do guarantee that the car is perfectly drive-able at the moment, however I am selling the car in "AS IS" condition.

Honda renews trademark for Acura CDX compact crossover

Wed, Jan 31 2018

Honda recently renewed its U.S. trademark for the name "CDX," which the Japanese carmaker first applied for in 2015. Back then, observers expected the name to apply to an Acura version of the Honda HR-V, and they were right — but no one expected the CDX would go on sale only in China, in 2016. For the past two years, the U.S. auto media has speculated on whether the CDX will ever make it here. "(We) have our R&D guys looking into the possibility," group VP of Acura U.S. Jon Ikeda told Wards Auto last April about the CDX. However, he went on to note that it's not as simple as just shipping it over due to regulation differences between China and the United States. The trademark application doesn't mean a green light, but it shows Honda's at least leaving the door open to the prospect. The Chinese-market CDX is a Honda HR-V after a wardrobe change. The only engine option is the 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the Civic, CR-V, and Accord, with 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet (our HR-V uses a 1.8-liter four-cylinder with 141 hp and 127 lb-ft). The only transmission offered is an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Drivetrains can be had in front- or all-wheel drive. We wonder how much longer Honda can sit on the sidelines. The CDX doubled Acura's sales in China in one year. Acura sells more crossovers than sedans in the United States, and in the past two years that the CDX has been on sale in China, the compact crossover segment here has got more crowded and more popular. The Cadillac XT4 is imminent, and we could see the new Lexus UX compact crossover at the Geneva Motor Show. Really, an American-market Acura CDX can't come soon enough.

Florida teens flee police, ram deputies with stolen car

Tue, May 3 2016

Three Hudson, Florida teens are in juvenile detention today after leading law enforcement on a dangerous high-speed chase in a stolen Honda. According to WFTS, the three unnamed youths were allegedly breaking into cars on the evening of Saturday, April 30 in the Bayonet Point neighborhood in Hudson, FL. Pasco County sheriff's deputies responded to calls about their activities, and when the deputies arrived on the scene, the teens hopped into a stolen Honda and sped off. This prompted a high-speed chase throughout central Pasco County involving both PCS deputies and officers from the Florida Highway Patrol. Bodycam footage released by law enforcement shows officers chasing the reckless teens, ages 13, 14, and 15, throughout the county at speeds approaching 100 miles per hour, where they crashed through barbed wire fences and hopped curbs in an effort to elude pursuit. Eventually, law enforcement cornered the teens on a dead end street, but they refused to give up. In an effort to escape, the driver smashed into four police cruisers before officers finally stopped them. The three alleged car thieves were cuffed and taken into custody on the scene. Luckily, no one was injured during the chase. This is not the youths' first run-in with police. According to the Pasco County Sheriff's office, the three teens, two of whom are brothers, are well-known serial offenders. They are facing a number of charges, including aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, and are currently being held at the Pasco Juvenile Detention center.

Honda pulling plug on slow-selling Insight hybrid

Wed, 26 Feb 2014



Insight hasn't amounted to even a tenth of Prius sales, and well over half of those sold were JDM.
It's been a rough ride for the Honda Insight, and now its journey appears to be at an end - word is that the five-door hybrid hatchback is going out of production.
