2001 Acura Mdx Wrecked Pass. Side Clear (not Rebuilt/salvage) Title Good Parts on 2040-cars
Elizabethton, Tennessee, United States
|
2001 Acura MDX , clear (last accident never reported) "clean" title. Not salvage, rebuilt or rebuildable.
Passenger side glanced down utility pole, no visible frame damage. Rt Front axle and wheel broken. You COULD buy an axle for $60.00, bring a spare tire, battery, fusible link, and gallon of gasoline and drive it up onto your trailer, otherwise it will need to be hauled on a rollback, or you'll something that will bring the broken axle up onto your trailer. Transmission was working fine at time of collision. I have no doubts that it works, but because the vehicle won't drive in its current condition, I won't stick my neck out on that one, but it was working at time of accident (Otherwise it wouldn't be wrecked, correct? just sitting there with a bad tranny); I had just returned to TN from Cincinnati shortly before. Local tire-kicker hooked battery up backwards week of 01/25/14, promptly removed horn relay (the WARNING that he had hooked it up wrong), and proceeded to burn fusible link out, but I guarantee engine to run, it was running right before the "expert" (also read: idiot) came along. Trip computer, instrument panel, CD player, all worked 100% before the link was blown, I'll assume all is still a-ok. Running boards included Exhaust removed. Radiator okay AC system okay Rear Air Okay Hood no damage, just cracked lid for photos. Photos detail interior and exterior condition. Dash, headliner, seats. Airbags deployed. Where this truck has been parked over a year facing due south, the only part of the interior I would consider non-usable would be the wood-grain trim between the gear-shifter and the console, it has "rippled" from sun exposure. Shocks and struts replaced 30K ago. Vehicle always meticulously maintained until time of accident. Other than obvious rust where paint is missing any discoloration you see on the metal is just dirt and pollen...the vehicle is beside a tree farm in the Cherokee National Forest; lots and lots of pollen! At opening bid of $1000 (roughly the cost of the engine, used), this is one heck of an opportunity for a salvage or body shop to make a tidy profit, and with the recent storms from TX to New England, the parts demand should definitely be there. IMPORTANT: SHIPPING is 100% the buyer's burden; vehicle is in 37643, TN. I would prefer to receive cash in person opposed to Paypal, but winning bidder may deposit $500 at time of auction's close if they wish. All sales final ; ask any questions before you bid, and at the risk of appearing harsh - PLEASE do not waste your time and mine by requesting and making offers for parts. Should I determine to part the vehicle out myself, I will post the parts on eBay, but please respect that it's MY determination to make. |

Watch an Acura NSX prototype lap the track at Mid-Ohio
Sun, 04 Aug 2013As promised, Acura trotted its NSX prototype out to the mass of waiting fans ahead of today's Honda Indy 200 IndyCar race at Mid-Ohio. The hybrid supercar took to the track for a fast lap, and Acura was kind enough to attach a score of cameras to the car in order to share the event with the rest of the world.
The blue-wrapped NSX looks pretty darn good on a race track, if we do say so ourselves, and its V6 engine, coupled with its three electric motors and lithium-ion battery pack, sounds awfully sweet at full song. The automaker is promising to release its new NSX in 2015, which is still quite a ways away, so we don't expect this exhibition lap to be the last time we see a prototype in action ahead of a production debut.
Want to see the video? Of course you do. Scroll down to see the NSX take to the track like a fish takes to water.
MotorWeek remembers retro icons, Supra and NSX
Thu, 16 Oct 2014It's easy to poke a joke here and there about John Davis, the long-time host of MotorWeek. His voice is so monotonous that, from time to time, if you closed your eyes, you may think it's generated via a computer. But you have to give him and the rest of the show a lot of credit. The program has been on the air for decades, giving people direct, straight-down-the middle automotive reviews.
MotorWeek's massive back catalog of reviews are slowly making their way onto YouTube, and they provide a fascinating chance to look back on how performance cars rank against their contemporaries from back in the day. Two recent additions include the show's old looks at the 1986 Toyota Supra, the dawn of the third-generation model, and the now-iconic 1991 Acura NSX.
Both reviews are interesting in their own way. These days you hear nary a negative word about the original NSX, but MotorWeek isn't afraid to point out a few flaws. And the Supra really shows the progress of suspension tuning in the intervening decades because it has some serious body roll in the corners. Scroll down to check out both videos and get a blast from the automotive past.
Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
