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 opening first new motherland plant in almost 50 years

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Despite opening dozens of overseas plants in the past several decades in locations all over the globe, Honda Motor Co. has not expanded its car manufacturing capabilities in its home market of Japan since opening a facility in Sayama back in 1964.
But all of that is set to change this July when Honda opens the doors to a new assembly plant in Yorii, about two hours north of Tokyo. According to Bloomberg, the new facility has a projected annual capacity of 250,000 vehicles. The plant is part of the automaker's reorganization efforts, plans that include scaling back its older Sayama plant and bringing Yorii online with more efficient and innovative technology. There are additional benefits, too, as the Yorii plant is expected to create 3,800 jobs, both on-site and at its suppliers, and boost the local economy as other businesses ramp up to accommodate the influx of new workers.
While the automaker has not released specifics about which models will be produced at Yorii, Honda is expected to consolidate production of models including the Fit, a best-seller in its domestic market.

Honda Gear concept explored at Montreal Auto Show

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

Our friends at Autoblog Canada have just come away with a closer look at Honda's surprise Gear Concept at the Montreal Auto Show. The little three-door hatchback is arguably the automaker's first real shot at the North American city car market (the Gear is much smaller than the Fit) and may be an indication that Honda is getting serious about going after Scion on this side of the world after the CR-Z hybrid failed to deliver. Honda says the Gear Concept takes its inspiration from the fixed-gear bicycle scene, and should allow buyers an unprecedented level of customization. Designers also wanted to show that a car can be both fun and practical.
We're all for a compact stylish three door with functional room inside, but given Honda's propensity for draining the personality from its concepts on the way to production (at least the ones that don't look showroom ready), we don't hold much hope for the Gear. You can check out the full press release below for more information.

Honda Civic Type R Concept is the shape of hot things to come

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

Soon, kids. Soon. The next-generation Honda Civic Type R is finally coming, and we're getting another preview of the hot hatch here at the Paris Motor Show. Of course, this one probably won't be headed to the United States (boo!), but it doesn't mean we can't get excited. After all, we're big fans of little turbo hatches, and from what we know right now, this one sure sounds sweet.
Underneath that new blue paint and red decals is a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, reportedly good for 276 horsepower. Honda tells us there's a "steer axis" system with adaptive dampers, and with the push of its +R button, the suspension, steering and torque mapping are all altered to make this Type R even more Type R-ier than before. In fact, Honda says this Civic will surpass every Type R that came before it - that means every Integra, Accord, Civic and even the NSX. Hot diggity.
We've got a fresh batch of images of the Type R Concept up top, and Honda's press release is available below. Hopefully it won't be long before the production car is finally revealed.
