We are selling our beloved 2004 Honda Accord (EX with leather seats/front seats have seat warmers). I must say, we really don't want to, but we have a new member in the family and find that we need something a little bigger. We purchased this vehicle new from the dealership and have cared for it since it's purchase. This car runs great, and looks great. The car is 9 years old, and has several small door dings, which I tried to include with the pictures, but they are so small I don't know if they can be seen. There is also a small crack in the front bumper, from when a car in front of us kicked up a small metal plate. It didn't puncture the bumper, but did crack it. If it were not so cold out when it happened, I don't think it would of cracked at all. The car handles great in the winter and in the rain. It is fully loaded (with the exception of a navigation system). Here is the history of our car.

Several years (I believe 2006) after we purchased the vehicle, the head liner began to sag in the bag seat. The car was taken back to the dealership for repair. After the repair, we found they had dripped glue on the rear seat and the seatbelt straps, which faded the color. Of course we took it back for repair, which they fixed (I believe they died the material to match).

In roughly 2009, we had approx. 65000 mile on the car. While driving to work, the engine began making a funny noise. I pulled over and had it towed to our repair shop. We learned that we had a piston seized. Needless to say we were upset. We had the oil changed every 5,000 miles. Come to find out (we believe), the place we were having it done was using recycled oil. The business that had been doing our oil changes went out of business.  We had to decide what to do, rebuild the engine or replace the engine. We decide that replacing the engine was the best choice. We purchased an engine that had about 47,000 miles on it. We have had no issues since then. We have the oil changed every 5,000 miles and use synthetic oil. 

We put a new battery in roughly March of 2012, and had new brake/rotors in 2012. The oil was just changed 2 weeks ago. I just had the tires rotated this week at the Goodyear Center (the tires are Goodyear Assurance, P205/60R16). I have the paper work showing the tires have 7/32" tread (which they said was about 70% tread left). While washing the car, I saw that there was a small paint chip on the lower left front bumper. I bought some touch up paint and touched it up. You can barely see it. I also touched up several small stone chip on the hood and bumper.

The last issue we have had is the airbag light has came on several times, then goes off. I have taken it in to the dealer twice to have them figure it out. And of course the light turns off, so they can not read the code. Last week, while it was on, I researched this on-line. On a forum it suggested that I buckle the driver seatbelt before starting the car, and if the light goes off, then it has something to do with the seatbelt. It also said that if you unbuckle the seatbelt while it is running, and the light comes back on, it is a faulty seatbelt. So I tried this, and sure enough the light went off and back on when unbuckled. I headed to the dealership to have it fixed. And of course, the light is back off so they can not code it. I have been told by several people to not try to repair the system myself, it is easy to cause more damage. And frankly it is something I wouldn't want to try and fix myself. I have been assured by several people that if the airbag light is off, that the airbag will deploy when needed. If the light comes back on prior to selling it, I will again try and get it to the dealership for repair. The forum I read stated that there is a federal mandate for lifetime warranty of seatbelts.

I may have to use this vehicle a few times until it is sold, so the mileage will be a little higher, but no more then 250 miles. You are welcome to have the vehicle inspected, and you can test drive the vehicle. The dealership offer we had was STUPID, and they told me  "to be honest you can get more if you sell it yourself". Please know this is a used car, 9 years old. There is no warranty, and is sold as is. But remember this is the flagship for Honda, and after all it is a HONDA. I will assist with having it shipped, which will be the buyer responsibility to arrange. I will work with the buyer if they decide to fly in and drive it home. I would not hesitate to drive this car to South America. We average about 26 mpg (combine city/highway).

The car comes with 2 sets of keys/key pads, and the valet key. The car has a remote start installed, and we have 2 remote starts pads as well. Please ask any questions. A $500 deposit is requested within 48 hrs. after close of auction. Deliver/possession can be made after funds have cleared the bank. We have a clear Michigan title. We reserve the right to end the auction early, due to vehicle be available for sale locally. Please do not send funds FED EX or UPS. I will only except payment by (if certified check is mailed)  the United States Postal Service, which helps protect the buyer and seller.


On Jun-10-13 at 12:37:38 PDT, seller added the following information:

I have the car at the dealership and they have ordered the parts to fix the problem, which was the seatbelt. Will be ready tomorrow. Also the sunroof is a power operated moonroof.

New Land Rover Defender aces Euro crash tests

Wed, Dec 9 2020

While the 2020 Land Rover Defender has not yet been crash-test by U.S. safety agencies such as NHTSA or IIHS, we do now have results for Europe's NCAP crash tests and accident-avoidance tests, where the Defender earned the top rating of five stars. The Defender model used for NCAP testing was the 110 variant with right-hand drive. The NCAP regimen includes several different crash tests: an offset front crash test into a moveable barrier with both the vehicle and the barrier traveling at 50 km/hr (31 mph), a front crash test into a full-width fixed barrier at 50 km/hr (31 mph), a side-impact crash test with a barrier traveling at 60 km/hr (37 mph) hitting the driver's door, and a side-impact test where the car strikes a pole at 32 km/hr (20 mph). The Defender's scores for the adult occupant and for a child occupant were both 85%. Additionally, the agency looks at the severity of injuries of the vehicle striking a pedestrian, taking data for a pedestrian's head hitting the hood, and their upper and lower leg being hit by the front of the vehicle. There is also testing of the vehicle's automatic emergency braking system's ability to avoiding hitting a pedestrian and a cyclist under various scenarios. The efficacy of active-safety systems for avoiding collisions with other vehicles is also tested. The Defender's score for protecting pedestrians and cyclists was 71%. The driver assists scored 79%. Results for several European-market cars were released together with those for the Defender, the most noteworthy of which was for the Honda E. The electric city car fared less well than the big Land Rover, garnering a score of four stars overall. In the same battery of test, the Honda E scored 76% for adult occupant protection, 82% for a child occupant, 62% for protecting pedestrians and cyclists, and 65% for its driver assists.

Honda, Top Gear working on 130-mph lawn mower

Wed, 12 Jun 2013

We're not even sure they've got a blade of Kentucky Bluegrass to cut, but the folks at Top Gear have gone ahead and started building what will become, if they're successful, the world's fastest lawn mower. Actually, it appears Top Gear is not doing much of the design and assembly work at all, instead having solicited help from experts at Honda and Team Dynamics, which oversees the automaker's touring car efforts.
What the three are working on is a riding lawnmower with a 110-hp engine that can reach 60 miles per hour in four seconds and trim turf at speeds up to 130 mph. If they succeed, such a maximum velocity would put them well ahead of the current record for the world's fastest lawnmower, which is 96.529 mph set by Bobby Cleveland and his Snapper race mower at the Bonneville Salt Flats in September of 2010. Top Gear hasn't said whether or not it will officially go after Cleveland's record, but the build will be featured in an upcoming issue of the Top Gear magazine and is scheduled to be completed by June 17, so we may learn what this maniacal mower's true purpose is then.
According to TG's report on how the build is going, as well as the video of it being fired up (literally) for the first time below, there aren't many actual mower parts left on this machine. What started out as a Honda HF2620 mower now sports wheels and tires from a racing quad, a back axle from a go-kart, a steering rack from a Morris Minor and a 1000cc engine from a Honda VTR1000F sport bike. All that remains from the original mower are the pedals and body panels; even the steel cutting deck has been replaced with a lighter fiberglass version. And blades? This mower will be bladeless, instead using two electric motors to spin lengths of brake cable like a weed whacker.

2015 Honda Fit configurator will let you have it your way

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

Honda has released the online configurator for the all-new, 2015 Fit - a vehicle that was scheduled to launch earlier, but was delayed until this month. As is the case with the rest of the Japanese manufacturer's builders, there's not a lot to this one - pick a trim, transmission (where applicable) and a color, and you're all set.
The 2015 Fit will come in three grades, with the base LX offering up both manual and continuously variable transmission, air conditioning, Bluetooth, USB connectivity, a 60/40 split-rear seat and a four-speaker stereo, among lesser items. The LX starts at $15,525, not counting a $790 destination charge. Next up is the $17,435 EX, which adds 16-inch wheels, push-button start and a seven-inch display audio system complete with Pandora and text-message functionality. Like the LX, the EX can be had with either a manual or CVT, with the two-pedal setup commanding an $800 premium, regardless of trim.
The top-of-the-line EX-L, however, cannot be had with a manual. Getting the king of the Fit line will lock you into the CVT, although it adds an assortment of cow-based products, in the form of heated leather seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Heated wing mirrors are also included in the $19,800 starting price. Navigation is an optional goodie, which tacks $1,000 onto the price and is only available on the EX-L. HD Radio and satellite radio are also included on the EX-L.
