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

Takata airbags linked to seventh death

Wed, Jun 10 2015

A seventh fatality may be linked to Takata's faulty airbag inflators, based on a recently filed lawsuit in Louisiana. The case alleges that a 22-year-old woman there died in April following injuries from an accident while driving in a 2005 Honda Civic. She reportedly received the mailing about the airbag safety campaign two days after the crash, according to Bloomberg. The accident occurred on April 5 when the vehicle hit a utility pole. The driver's airbag deployed but allegedly sprayed metal shrapnel at the woman. "When she was in the hospital, they did exploratory surgery and found no other injuries," said Kenneth D. St. Pe, the lawyer for the driver's mother who filed the lawsuit, according to Bloomberg. "Her sole injury was that her throat was cut open." In a portion of a statement from Honda to Autoblog, the automaker says: "Honda is now in communication with representatives of the family in an effort to gather further information in order to better understand the situation." The Takata airbag inflator recall was expanded in May to cover 34 million vehicles in this country from 11 automakers. Up until now, the faulty parts have been potentially linked to six deaths, including five in the US and one in Malaysia, plus many injuries. Honda and Takata are facing at least two dozen lawsuits in Florida for claims related to the bad components. So far, the evidence suggests that exposure to moisture causes the propellant to ignite too quickly and cause these ruptures. However, many people aren't getting the problem fixed. Honda Statement: Honda was recently notified of the crash of a 2005 Honda Civic in Louisiana on April 5, 2015 that later resulted in the death of the driver. The crash may have resulted in the rupture of the Takata driver front airbag inflator. Honda is now in communication with representatives of the family in an effort to gather further information in order to better understand the situation. Related Video:

Honda issues second Fit window recall, this time for 143k units

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Honda has announced it is recalling certain 2007-2008 Fit models in the US to fix what could have been faulty repairs made in a previous round of recalls. The vehicles may have been manufactured with a master driver's window switch that could allow rain water or spilled liquids into the switch. If that happens, the liquids could cause the switch to overheat, melt and potentially damage the vehicle's wiring or cause a fire. Honda says no accidents or injuries have been reported due to the problem, but warns owners to park their Fit hatchbacks outside until a dealer can inspect the switch.
All told, the recall covers 143,083 Fit units. Back in 2010, Honda recalled the 2002-2008 model-year Fit for the same issue. That recall covered some 646,000 units worldwide after a two-year-old child in Cape Town, South Africa burnt to death while sleeping in a Fit. Honda says the repair made during that round of recalls may not have been sufficient, and the latest fix should take care of the problem for good.
You can read the full press release on the latest round of recalls below for more information.
