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

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video

Mon, Dec 7 2015

With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.

Snapshots from Acura NSX prototype run at Mid-Ohio

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

Acura's achingly slow showing of the new, hybrid NSX saw yet another step yesterday, as we reported late last week. A powder-blue prototype ran ahead of the open-wheelers at the Honda Indy 200 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Why show the NSX Prototype at Mid-Ohio? Honda's Ohio research and development center, which has taken the lead on NSX development, is just 60 miles from the track. And as race sponsor, Honda must have figured it would give the spectators a glimpse of the new supercar it's been teasing for the better part of a decade.
With a planned launch in 2015 (special emphasis on the "planned" part, considering the NSX's history), the NSX Prototype shown here sports graphics that "speak to Acura's intention to go racing with the new NSX." That's great news for fans of endurance racing, although it remains to be seen when a motorsports program for the new NSX will get off the ground.
Take a look at the fresh gallery of images, and be sure to head over to our original Mid-Ohio post for the video footage of the NSX Prototype on track.

Honda CR-V updated for 2015

Mon, 22 Sep 2014

The CR-V was first introduced way back in the mid-90s, but Honda has done a good job of keeping it fresh. Now four generations in, the CR-V has been replaced every four or five years. And though the latest version just arrived on the scene a couple of years ago, Honda's giving it a refresh for the 2015 model year.
We've already spied these changes, but now, the Japanese automaker has officially released the image you see above, showing the updated 2015 CR-V with some cosmetic enhancements. The chrome bar at the bottom of the grille integrates smartly with the LEDs outlining the projector-beam headlights, capping a reshaped front bumper with new fog lamps.
Of course, the wheels and mirror caps have been redone as well, but we'll have to wait until Honda releases the full monte to see what the new CR-V looks like around back, inside and under the hood. All Honda is confirming at the moment is that the revised styling "portends the significant enhancements made to the 2015 CR-V" and that it will release further information on September 30 before the updated model goes on sale October 1, so watch this space for more.
