Hopewell Junction, New York, United States

Hopewell Junction, New York, United States

PLEASE READ ALL DISCLOSURES BELOW BEFORE BIDDING.  (ADDITIONAL PICTURES BELOW SCROLL DOWN)  

I am an honest Ebay seller and up for auction is my personal one owner 2004 Honda Accord EX-L V6.  THE CAR HAS SOME ISSUES that may or may not need to be addressed.  There is no reserve and highest bid takes the car home along with decision to address any existing issues or drive it as is.  DO NOT BID if you do not have the CASH or BANK CERTIFIED CHECK to complete the transaction.  Any other form of payment will need to clear my bank account before I give up the title.  $300 Paypal deposit due within 24 hours auction end and you must pick up the vehicle with full remaining payment within 7 days of auction end.  Title is Clear NYS with one recorded lien and I have the letter from the bank showing the lien bing satisfied quite a few years back.  

THE BAD:

1)  The car has 167,000 miles on it (still being driven around town so mileage may be +/- 200 miles of that number).  It's USED with expected parking lot dents and dings scratches.  I also tried to repaint the front end 2 yrs ago with DUPLI-color Nighthawk black pearl spay paint a few years ago as the car had front end stone chips and cracking from exposure to sun.  It looks like crap now and could use a nice front end paint job as the existing front end paint does not match rest of the vehicle. AND ther is spot on front of hood with minor rust starting to show.  SEE Pictures.
2)  The engine's #5 cylinder had a spark plug come loose.  This is a common problem on Honda v6's.  We had to re-tap the spark plug threads and re-threaded with a TIME-SERT copper sleeve.  Also replaced the #5 ignition coil.  Car runs and idles fine...I have video of the car idling. (google timesert and honda v6 to read about common issue yourself)
3)  When starting the car and on occasion while driving, there is a drone type noise present.  It feels like a engine mount going bad or some other type of hum.  I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE CAUSE IS and as such, this will be up to the winning bidder to decide whether to address (fix) or not.  This may be a MAJOR issue or not, however, the car drives fine as is.
4)  The ABS system light is on (Pictured).  I brought it in to Friendly Honda in Poughkeepsie, NY when the car recently had it's power steering hose recall service performed and they diagnosed it as a bad drivers side seat belt harness.  The car still passes NYS inspection, however the cost for the wiring harness, per the service manager is $185 and the seat belt buckle replacement is covered by Honda warranty.   I would advise the new owner to have this addressed, however as I stated, the car will pass NYS inspection, as is.
5) The door on the storage cubby, in front of the shifter is broken and does not stay closed.  It is stuck in the open position and that's fine by me, but you may want to fix this
6) The pasenger side sunvisor mirror has a broken cover.  No need to replace, but want to disclose.
7)  The car could use a good interior detail, the driver side seat has cracks in the leather and is understandably worn with 167K miles of use.  The carpets and truck could use a good shampoo.  I have vacuumed the interior.
8) Car has aftermarket Ipod adapter connector installed, but stopped working a few months ago.  no time to fix it.

The Good

I have religiously maintained the engine and transmission of this car.  Outside of the spark plug issue on the #5 cylinder, this car has been the best car I have ever owned and all minor maintenance was done by me.

1)  Engine oil and filter changed every 5K miles with Mobil-1 fill synthetic 5W-20 in it since it had 10k miles on odometer
2)  Transmission fluid has been drained and filled every 15K miles with OEM Honda ATF Fluid
3)  Timing Belt and Spark plugs replaced at 105K miles, as recommended by Honda.  The shop owner showed me the belt and it looked new at 105K, but it was replaced along with a new water pump installed.
4)  Brake rotors and pads were replaced about 10K miles ago.  I only drive highway and my brakes usually last 70-80K miles, so assume at least 50% life left.
5)  NO ACCIDENTS - the car looks rough up front, but it is collision free.  I have owned it since it had 7 miles on it and it's about 90% highway use... NY roads and salt did in the front end paint job.
6) Includes rear wing and fog lamp options installed by dealer.  Spare tire was never used.
7) INCLUDES extra set of matching HONDA rims and tires.  The spare set has the all seasons on it right now.  I can help you swap it over from the winter that are on the car now.
- The all seasons may have another 10k miles of thread left on them and the winter set is about 50% worn
8) Includes WORN but still useable beige weathertech floor mats for front driver and passenger side floor.

THAT's it.  What you see pictured is what you are bidding on.  Please do not bid unless you are sure you are going to buy it.  If you have any questions, please contact me via ebay or at 845-243-0060 BEFORE bidding.

This is a great car for a mechanic or someone that is handy around cars to fix any existing issues.  I am selling it as I have bought a new commuter car with better gas mileage to replace it

Good luck...no reserve, and if you have less than 10 feedback, please contact me first with your name and number, before bidding.  Otherwise your bid will be cancelled.

Thanks

US Honda Civic to get Type R engine

Mon, Dec 15 2014

Honda is bent on kicking butt and taking names with its upcoming new Civic Type R, but since the Japanese hot hatch is based on the European model and isn't slated to come to the United States, it's been of little consolation to American enthusiasts. But if you're one of them, we've got good news for you. According to Spanish site Motor Y Racing, a US version of the Civic Type R is in the works. The salient part of the Type R that would make the oceanic voyage to US showrooms would be the 2.0-liter turbo four that's said to produce between 276 and 320 horsepower, but we could expect upgraded suspension, rolling stock and other equipment to come as part of the package as well. Just what form it would take we don't know. Currently American Honda offers the Civic as a coupe or sedan - not as a hatchback or wagon like it does overseas - so chances are that it'd be one of these betrunked body-styles that would get the upgrades. We're hoping for something more than an upgrade of the current Civic Si. Competing rumors suggest that Honda could offer that same engine in a revised version of the CR-Z hybrid hatchback, which has long been begging for a more potent powerplant. But that's not to say that Honda couldn't offer both with the new turbo VTEC engine. Having driven prototypes for more performance-oriented versions of both the Civic and the CR-Z at Honda's R&D center in Japan a little over a year ago, this writer could tell you that either prospect bodes well for the return of the red H badge to the high-performance arena.

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.

Acura NSX prototype gets back on track

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

Developing a new vehicle is not without its complications, we're sure, but usually things follow a fairly predictable progression: you develop a prototype, you test it, test it and test it again, then you put it into production. What you don't expect is that your prototype will burn to the ground, but that's what famously happened to the NSX which Honda engineers were testing a few months ago.
Fortunately, the Acura NSX prototype is back on track, both literally and figuratively, as you can see from this latest batch of spy shots snapped at the Nürburgring. This camouflaged prototype looks pretty much the same as the last one, only, you know... less crispy. Which is to say, it looks pretty much ready to hit showrooms.
The naysayers may point out that Honda chose colder and damper weather to put the NSX back into testing - thereby mitigating the risk of another fire - but we're sure the Japanese automaker has been working hard to fix the flammability issues, whatever may have caused them, over the past few months. At least, we hope they have.
