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 confirms 2014 Odyssey and Acura MDX for New York
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Look beneath the seats of a Honda Odyssey and you'll likely find a handful of that iconic loop cereal loved by toddlers nationwide. And to show that Honda understands its minivan's target market, it is using the breakfast staple to announce its plans to reveal the updated 2014 model at next week's New York Auto Show. While the announcement is creative, it unfortunately lacks much in the way of information, leaving us with little more than a vague teaser alluding to "some innovative new features."
As expected, Honda has also confirmed we will see the production version of the 2014 Acura MDX in New York. We expect the 2014 MDX to look very much like the prototype we saw in January at the Detroit Auto Show with only slight differences. The 3.5-liter i-VTEC V6 will be offered with all-wheel drive or, in a first for MDX, front-wheel drive.
You'll find the official press snippets for both below, and we'll have live images and details on both from the New York show. Until then... Cheerio!
Toyota raises Japanese base wages for first time since 2008
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Toyota is on track for record profits, and in return, its Japanese workers are receiving their first increase in base wages since 2008, plus higher pay based on seniority and a larger bonus for 2014. The Japanese automaker predicts the average laborer will net a 2.9 percent income gain.
The average Toyota employee will earn 2,700 yen ($26.28) more each month, a 0.8 percent increase from last year. Workers will also receive about 7,300 yen ($71.09) more monthly based on seniority and promotions. Finally, the company's union pushed through a median bonus of 2.44 million yen ($23,768) for 2014, the highest in 6 years.
The pay boost comes as Toyota forecasts a record 1.9-trillion yen ($18.5 billion) profit for the fiscal year ending on March 31, according to Bloomberg. It has been helped by the Japanese government's efforts to weaken the yen on international markets and expand inflation. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been asking businesses to increase compensation to end years of deflation and offset upcoming higher sales taxes. Honda and Nissan have also raised their wages there in recent months.
Honda launches Project Drive-In to save these American icons
Mon, 12 Aug 2013Honda wasn't really a major player in the automotive industry when drive-in movie theaters were popular in the US, but the automaker is doing its best to preserve the place where automotive and cinema histories collide. Using Project Drive-In, Honda is helping bring awareness to a story we brought up last month, where we saw how a move away from 35-millimeter film could put some of the few drive-in theaters remaining in the US out of business.
As production studios switch to digital film, theaters are required to upgrade to digital projectors, which Honda says will cost about $80,000 for drive-ins. While Project Drive-In asks people to donate money to the cause or pledge to go to a drive-in theater, Honda will also be donating projectors to five of the remaining drive-ins based on votes received on its website. Scroll down to watch a short video describing Project Drive-In, and be sure to vote, pledge and even contribute to save the drive-ins.
