Up for sale is my 2006 Honda Accord V6. This is a very rare package that includes Honda's smooth and powerful VTEC V6 engine, slick shifting 6-speed manual transmission ("6MT"), Honda satellite linked navigation, XM radio, and upgrades that Honda only put on the 6MT, including the great looking 5-spoke alloy wheels, carbon fiber-look interior trim and upgraded stereo. Very few of this particular combination were made, and Honda only sold these V6 sedans with a 6-speed manual for two years. Of those, very few included the Navi option with voice control, which is really a must-have.
I have all the original service records, purchase paperwork, window sticker, even the original marketing book. Clean title in in my hand and ready to transfer over. This car has been meticulously maintained by the dealer at which it was purchased (Brown's Honda in Arlington, VA), garage kept, highway driven by a mature adult, and has had ABSOLUTELY NO ACCIDENTS. We have no pets and the car has never been smoked in - I don't even eat or drink coffee in this car - just look at the photos and I think you will agree the condition reflects that level of care. Check out my 14 years on eBay with 100% positive feedback and bid with confidence!
This car was my baby and I did not plan to sell it, so I have just recently spent close to $3,000 to get it ready to go the next 100,000 miles. Here is a LINK to the recently completed timing belt, water pump and CV Boot replacement ($1,700), and another LINK to the recently completed 90,000 mile service ($1,100). The only recall that was open on this car was for the power steering pump, and you can see HERE that the work was completed by the dealer. Every light, switch, accessory and item of any kind on the car down to the smallest detail works exactly as it should. Front tires are nearly new; rears are at around 50%. Want to see the original window sticker? That's right HERE.
If you took a look at the window sticker I linked to above, you noticed the car puts out 244 HP on Regular Unleaded and is rated at 30 MPG Highway. The Nav system has a trip computer, and I can attest that 30 MPG and more is achievable when doing mostly highway driving. Car and Driver tested this car when it came out, and it delivered a sub-6 second zero to sixty time, faster than contemporary BMWs that were less efficient, smaller, required premium unleaded fuel, and cost a LOT more without delivering the legendary Honda reliability. Read the article HERE.
Just to be 100% clear, this car is in excellent condition and the pictures and descriptions tell the story. I am NOT trying to claim the car is mint, indistinguishable from new, or that it is in showroom condition - just a very clean, well cared for and unmolested example of a rare car that has the unique quality of being practical AND fun. Just passed VA inspection with flying colors. I'll answer questions other than "what's your reserve" (it's very reasonable). If you have negative or low feedback, email me before bidding - remember, your bid is a legally enforceable contract!
I require a $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end, refundable only if the car is not as described.
Thanks for looking and good luck!

Honda Recalling 900,000 Odyssey Minivans
Mon, Mar 17 2014DETROIT (AP) - Honda Motor Co. is recalling 886,815 Odyssey minivans in the U.S. because a fuel pump cover can deteriorate and cause a fuel leak. Odysseys from 2005 through 2010 model years are involved. The recalled minivans were made between June 23, 2004, and September 4, 2010. According to documents posted Saturday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the cover on the fuel pump strainer can wear down from exposure to high temperatures and acidic chemicals, like those found in fertilizers. Fuel leaks can cause a vehicle fire. Honda says no fires or injuries have been reported. Honda dealers will repair the vehicles for free, but the company says replacement parts may not be available until this summer. It will notify owners of the recall next month.

Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.
NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
