Up for auction is a 1986 Honda Accord with 35K original One-Owner miles, automatic transmission. This gem is a "lady-owned," well maintained vehicle that has spent most of its life garaged. It was used to drive short distances to work and around town on weekends. No long-haul road trips. In recent years, with work-on-internet, it has been driven only on weekends. 


The car has never been in an accident, has never had any major mechanical malfunctions, and has had routine maintenance and inspections. With normal use, there have been replacement batteries, bulbs, wiper blades, brake pads, etc., but nothing beyond that. There are no discernible leaks; not a single spot on the concrete floor of the garage.

The ONLY thing missing is: the trunk carpet. I removed it at a car wash, to vacuum it, and after cleaning the trunk, I drove away -- without the carpet! I didn't discover it missing until a day later . . . yes, I went back, but it was gone. In its place I have used a 4 x 5 grey synthetic rug, which fits well and protects the inside. The original white trunk liner remains, and underneath that is the original, unused, donut spare tire, and original jack and lug wrench.

NEW PARTS: There is a brand new battery (May 2013); all four tires are Michelin Radial Weatherwise Sport tires, 185/70 R13, purchased last year, with practically no wear -- less than 200 miles.

A NEW WATER PUMP and TIMING BELT, new in original packaging, not installed, are included with the car, (see photo), with original receipt, and are ready for installation by buyer. Receipts are included, and shown in photos.

Also included is a CD Repair Manual for Honda Accords 1986-1989. This is a pdf document with diagrams and instructions for any and all possible maintenance and repairs.

A passenger-side rear-view mirror has been added, which is adjustable from inside.

The AC, heat, defrosters, wipers, lights, original AM/FM radio and cassette player work fine.

Interior is all original, and is in fine condition. Seats, carpet, and all interior upholstery are soft and clean, no stains or rips. This has been a SMOKE-FREE, PET-FREE car for all its life.

NOTE: I am not a mechanic, and though I think it runs well, it could use a tune-up and may have issues I am not aware of. It's a very zippy little car to drive, with a low center of gravity, and handles like a sportscar. Gas mileage is excellent -- 30 mpg or better. 

As pictured, the flaws to this Accord are minimal: Small dimples and dings, mainly on the hood and rear fenders. The amount of rust is so tiny it was difficult to show in photos -- there are three approximately nickel-sized rust spots, shown in several of the photos. There is a small scrape on the right rear fender, by the tail light, a small dent in the left rear fender, and some dimples on the hood. None of these is deep enough to have progressed to rust. Most difficult to show in photos are extremely fine, spider-web-like lines beneath the finish, purely cosmetic -- see close-up photo near bottom of pictures. I will be posting additional photos by Monday, May 20.

The paint is all original. I was planning to give the whole car a going-over with rubbing compound and paste wax, which I think would do away with superficial scratches, but decided to leave that to the buyer, who may feel it's not needed.

Please refer to photos for details!!

Honda Vezel is the Fit crossover we've been waiting for

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

"Vezel" may sound like the latest miracle cure from Big Pharma, but in truth it's the long-awaited Fit-based crossover from Honda. Unfortunate name aside, this four-door CUV looks ready for production, because it is.
Shown here in hybrid guise, the subcompact Vezel looks quite sporty, with boldly upswept sheetmetal contours, an aggressively raked backlight, "hidden" rear doorhandles borrowed from the JDM Civic hatchback, and an expressive face with LED headlamps.
Honda is presently confirming that the Vezel will go on sale in both hybrid and gas-only guise in Japan, but it isn't offering anything in the way of specifications other than to say that both models will make use of a 1.5-liter direct-injected engine, the "Sport Hybrid i-DCD" powertrain of course getting a "high-output motor" of unspecified power and what could be a dual-clutch transmission. Honda has declined to make clear whether this is the new 1.5-liter turbocharged VTEC engine we told you about yesterday, but it's a good bet that it is indeed the same new Earth Dreams powerplant. Critically, there's no mention of whether all-wheel drive will be offered.

NSX Concept-GT is the world's hottest way to boil water

Sat, 05 Oct 2013

The Honda NSX Concept-GT is one sexy machine, and it looks to be a very effective tool on a race circuit. But Honda's latest web spot leads us to believe that it also can be used to make tea.
In the video, the racecar is hooked up to an apparatus that uses tubing to harness the energy from the car's 500-horsepower hybrid drive system, using it to boil water. The novel tea-making technique reminds us a bit of a couple other inventive Honda commercials, namely Hands and Cog.
Watch the NSX ad below, and be sure to turn the sound up to hear that glorious engine note.

Honda's slate for Tokyo Auto Salon includes S2000 revival, many Mugens

Thu, 27 Dec 2012

Honda has pulled back the covers on what we can expect to see at the 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon, including what looks to be an S2000 refresh some four years after the convertible left production. The S2000 Modulo Climax is an "exhibition model" based on the old roadster, but features updated front and rear fascias as well as an interior trimmed out in black and burgundy. Beyond that, details are scarce as hen's teeth.
Honda will also show off a number of vehicles based on the N-One mini, including the N-One Modulo Style, Mugen Racing N-One Concept and an N-One worked up by the Japan Nailist Association. That last creation features plenty of rhinestone decoration. (We wish we were joking.) Mugen will also display a tarted-up CR-V Design Study as well as the CR-Z Mugen RZ: a 300-unit specialty vehicle.
Meanwhile, the manufacturer's motorcycle arm will show off the Goldwing F6B, previously seen at EICMA 2012 as well as the CB1300 Super Four Special Edition and the NC700X. The automaker will also pepper its stand with a few of its racing machines for the public to enjoy. Check out the full press release below.
