1996 Honda Accord Ex 2.2 4 Cylinder Vtec Automatic 4 Door Sedan 96 Low Reserve ! on 2040-cars
Wayne, New Jersey, United States
Hello, and thank you for looking at my item on Ebay. This item is for a 1996 Honda Accord EX, automatic, cloth interior, 4-cylinder 2.2 VTEC, front-wheel drive 4-door sedan. I have had this car for almost 5 years now and it never broke down on me even after 35,000+ miles. This Honda drives straight and quiet, shifts smoothly, and is fuel efficient, about 26 MPG average. When I bought the car almost 5 years ago at 175,000 miles, I had the timing belt, water pump, alternator belt, power steering belt, A/C belt, platinum spark plugs, distributor cap and wires, coolant flush, thermostat, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, brake pads all around, new tires, new exhaust, transmission fluid changed, front two side marker lights, headlights, A/C compressor, CV axles, and battery all replaced new. I recently installed a new battery just about a year ago. The first battery failed prematurely. Basically all major tune-up parts were changed. During that time, I kept the throttle body clean, cleaned once a year. Some poor-performance issues can be resolved by keeping the throttle body clean as far as I know and have experienced. Earlier this year, I had the front right wheel bearing explode on me while I was driving to New York City. I had the car towed back to New Jersey, and then had both front wheel bearing replaced with new ones. I also installed new upper control arms and new outer tie rod ends too during this time as they were showing signs of age. THIS WAS THE ONLY TIME THIS HONDA LET ME DOWN and it was my fault. I heard the wheel bearing noise for a few thousand miles and I just ignored it. Never again will I ignore a wheel bearing going bad. I drove from Philadelphia to Niagara Falls New York and back during a hot summer weekend for 4 hours straight and it did not break down on me or complain or showed any signs it was stop working. I went and came back in total peace knowing this Honda would not fail me. I drove it back and forth to Philadelphia and New York City for work, never a problem and getting stuck on the road. This car looks terrible because of the front hood. The hood got damaged while I was driving at 50 MPH one day. The hood latch released the hood due to lock failure and it popped open while I was driving and hit the top of the windows just one inch above the front windshield. Talk about getting the hell scared out of you. The hood did not rip off, just slammed onto the front roof of the car. The windshield and sunroof glass were not damaged. This happened 4 years ago, just a few months after I bought this car. I noticed a chip on the windshield that happened just about a month ago. This might be able to be repaired or may need to replace the windshield. Most of the body is in good shape, an easy paint job for sure. The A/C is not working, fans and heater work. I tried to get the A/C to work, but failed. This may be a simple fix by someone that knows how to fix automobile A/C systems. It does leak a little motor oil, only about 1 quart every two months or so. I think it is on the valve cover bolt gasket, not the valve cover gasket. All windows, cruise control, radio, sunroof, power mirrors, interior lights, dash lights, brake lights, headlights, speedometer, heater, and brakes all work. Front and rear brake pads changed in February, along with one new front caliper. The other calipers were cleaned and serviced. New rear rotors too. Parking brake works. Power steering works. Everything works except for the A/C, thermostat, muffler, and driver side window (sticks a little). Charging system charges at 14.5V+. Rear main seal is tight and not leaking at all. CV axles are in good shape. For more pics and to see a couple videos, please visit http://www.tnemicro.com/accord96. Please allow a few minutes for the videos to download. It is not a new car, but it sure runs like one. I have another car that I want to fix up and use from now on. I had this Honda for almost 5 years and I was very happy with it, but it is time for her to have a new owner. There is a very low reserve. Happy bidding!

Honda exec says US market near capacity, could hurt subprime buyers
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Is there a point in the US auto industry where companies should start considering the welfare of their customers ahead of selling more cars? American Honda Executive Vice President of Sales John Mendel thinks that level exists, and we may be getting very close to it.
According to Automotive News, Mendel believes that finding more customers in the market could require pursuing subprime buyers and offering longer-term loans. However, he refuses to use those tactics. While selling models this way can improve things briefly, the strategies hurt resale prices and lower vehicle profits over time. The company won't do "stupid things in the short-term that damage the person who bought yesterday," he said to Automotive News. "It's a very, very short-term tactic especially in the subprime area."
American Honda, which combines the Acura and Honda brands, has seen market share decline from 9.7 percent to 9.1 percent through July 2014, according to Automotive News, and Autoblog's By the Numbers stats showed it posted falling sales in five of the seven months with data this year. Though, Mendel claims that was partially because the company focused on retail sales over fleets. The delays of the launches for the Honda Fit and Acura TLX likely didn't help either.
Honda reveals new Civic hatch for WTCC
Tue, 03 Dec 2013If you thought the Honda Civic Type R prototype we drove in Japan looked cool, and that the Civic Tourer that Honda will race in the British Touring Car Championship next year looks even cooler, just take a look at this.
Possibly the ultimate race-spec Civic, this is the car Honda will field next year in the World Touring Car Championship. Like the Type R prototype (but unlike the BTCC-spec wagon) the WTCC challenger takes the form of Honda's latest Euro-spec Civic five-door hatchback.
It's the car with which Honda intends to defend its title and capture the driver's title in next year's championship. It'll face a tough challenge from the new Citroën team headlined by Sebastien Loeb in the new C-Elysee, not to mention the rest of the grid. Fortunately, Honda is entering a whole mess of these Civics in the series, with former champion Gabriele Tarquini and former F1 driver Tiago Monteiro driving the works entries (hence the mixed "Gabriago" tag on the window) and another pair to be entered by privateer teams.
Honda will build 2014 Accord Hybrid in Ohio
Thu, 10 Jan 2013Honda has announced that it will invest $23 million in its Marysville, Ohio facility to support production of the upcoming 2014 Accord Hybrid sedan. According to the manufacturer, this means approximately 50 new jobs will be created, and the whole investment will result in a 95,000-square-foot expansion of the Marysville plant.
The Accord Hybrid joins the decidedly homely Accord PHEV (pictured) this fall, using a 2.0-liter i-VTEC Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine mated to a 124-kilowatt electric motor. Honda has yet to release official power or fuel economy figures for the non-plug-in hybrid version of the Accord.
Honda currently operates four manufacturing facilities in Ohio, with the combined capacity to build up to 700,000 cars and light trucks each year. The Japanese automaker also has a facility in Greensburg, Indiana, where the Civic Hybrid and Acura ILX Hybrid are built.
