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.

Car Club USA: CleanMPG Northwest Rally

Tue, May 19 2015

Car Club USA heads to Los Angeles for the CleanMPG Northwest Rally, where a group of like-minded hypermiling enthusiasts led by Wayne Gerdes attempts to drive from Los Angeles, CA, to Bend, OR, on one tank of fuel. For this challenge, Wayne tapped some of the most accomplished hypermilers in the world, including Guinness World Record holder Bob Winger and Mike Sefton, "the most fuel efficient driver in all of Canada." It doesn't take long for the competition to get heated. "They're not aggressive enough, and it's not going to save them anything by being soft right now," says Gerdes as the group attempts to navigate the Interstate traffic. "Driving in Los Angeles is a hyper miler's nightmare," says Winger. The trip will challenge both car and driver, while putting the latest fuel-efficient tech to the test. Wayne is piloting the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen TDI, Sefton drives the Audi A3 TDI, and Winger attempts the trek in a Honda Accord Hybrid. It's diesel versus hybrid tech on this fuel-efficient trip of a lifetime. Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog.

Honda Civic Type R Concept is the shape of hot things to come

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

Soon, kids. Soon. The next-generation Honda Civic Type R is finally coming, and we're getting another preview of the hot hatch here at the Paris Motor Show. Of course, this one probably won't be headed to the United States (boo!), but it doesn't mean we can't get excited. After all, we're big fans of little turbo hatches, and from what we know right now, this one sure sounds sweet.
Underneath that new blue paint and red decals is a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, reportedly good for 276 horsepower. Honda tells us there's a "steer axis" system with adaptive dampers, and with the push of its +R button, the suspension, steering and torque mapping are all altered to make this Type R even more Type R-ier than before. In fact, Honda says this Civic will surpass every Type R that came before it - that means every Integra, Accord, Civic and even the NSX. Hot diggity.
We've got a fresh batch of images of the Type R Concept up top, and Honda's press release is available below. Hopefully it won't be long before the production car is finally revealed.
