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

2023 Japan Mobility Show Mega Photo Gallery: All the highlights and reveals from Tokyo

Fri, Oct 27 2023

The 2023 Japan Mobility Show managed to serve up a surprise heap of exciting and futuristic designs and production reveals. Our staff was on the ground in Tokyo for this year's show, where we captured not just all of the latest automotive trends, but some genuinely weird and fascinating stuff.  Browse: Some Delightful Oddities of the 2023 Japan Mobility Show But on to the cars. This year's show featured introductions from Daihatsu, Honda, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota. Some are weird; some are wild; most are probably destined to change significantly before production or merely fade into the void with the rest of the industry's vaporware, but if even a few of these make it to showrooms, we'll consider it a win. Scroll on down for our live galleries of each of the show's major debuts (and cars we're only now seeing in person for the first time).

Honda HR-V could spawn Acura variant

Thu, Feb 5 2015

We've been saying it for months now, but the compact CUV is the next big thing. Everyone, and we mean everyone, is at least considering getting in on the action, if they aren't already actively designing or selling, and that's true whether they're a premium or mainstream automaker. That, of course, includes Acura, whose parent company, Honda, has a compact CUV of its own coming to market very, very soon. With the arrival of the Fit-based HR-V, that begs the question of whether the near-premium marque will join this burgeoning segment. The idea of building a car below the company's entry level CUV, the RDX, is an appealing one to Honda Executive Vice President John Mendel, who called it "potentially the only place you could go," and would occupy the "white space" the company is looking to fill. While we might chuckle about the idea of a luxurious, Fit-based CUV, it's fair to say it could do well for Acura. It could certainly provide a foil to the very hot selling Buick Encore, and may even capture some sales from the luxuriously outfitted Jeep Renegade Limited/Fiat 500X Lounge. It remains to be seen, though, if Acura could build an HR-V capable of tangling with the new entries from Lexus, Audi and Mercedes-Benz.

Honda planning sub-NSX S2000 successor

Tue, 13 May 2014

Nine years separated the arrival of the original Acura NSX and the Honda S2000. By that time, the NSX was closer to the end of its fifteen-year production cycle than it was to its beginning. The latest word has it that not only is Honda planning a successor to the S2000, but it's not about to wait that long after the new NSX arrives before it's rolled out.
While the S2000 was a front-mid-engined roadster, its successor will, according to the latest from Auto Express (which we are taking with a grain of salt), be a mid-engined coupe - closer, in other words, to the NSX than the S2000. Power would come from a more potent version of the 2.0-liter turbo four developed for the upcoming new Civic Type R, possibly as part of a hybrid system derived from Honda's upcoming Formula One powertain to develop over 400 horsepower.
Whether the new sports car would revive the S2000 nameplate, and whether it would wear the Honda or Acura badge in the United States, remain to be seen. As does its potential production site: while the previous S2000 was built at the same Takanezawa plant in Tochigi as the original NSX, the new NSX will be built at the new Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio. The new S660 roadster, meanwhile, is set to be assembled at the same Yachiyo plant in Yokkaichi as the original Honda Beat.
