1999 Honda Civic- Mechanics' Special - Fix Up/sell Off Parts-local Pick Up Only on 2040-cars

US $1,001.00
Year:1999 Mileage:250000
Location:

This vehicle blue books for approximately $5,000 minus the damage in the right quarter panel from an auto accident that took place on December 3, 2013; however, neither airbag deployed.The vehicle was a good and dependable daily driver until accident - which was due to severely thick fog and lack of visibility. I am devastated over the accident and that I have to let this car go, as it is the best vehicle I have had since I was a teenager (and I am 40 years old now, if that helps figure the time period I am talking about..lol) 

 In April, 2012 the following work was completed on the vehicle:

  • spark plugs,                                                        
  • plug wires,
  • distributor cap,
  • rotor button,
  • fuel filter,
  • air filter,
  • prevention pipe,
  • gaskets bolt kits,
  • pipe,
  • muffler,
  • clamp,
  • brake shoes,
  • brake rotors,
  • brake pads, and
  • brake drums. 

All 4 tires in above average shape. It's a 5-gear manual transmission. The ONLY damage is to the right quarter panel (came off due to the accident and the front right headlight and blinker are missing); however, everything else with the vehicle is in above average shape, including the interior. This vehicle would be a good fixer upper for a mechanic or someone that enjoys fixing cars as a hobby. It would also be good to sell the parts off, as I know a profit IS to be made. Are you asking yourself, "well then why isn't SHE fixing the vehicle or selling off the parts herself?" That's a very good question and I do, in fact, have a great answer. I simply DO NOT have the auto knowledge to do either of these things - which is what led me to eBay.

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions, as I WILL BE honest with you. Thanks for your time.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

2012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:

2014 Honda Accord V6 Touring

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

America's midsize sedan segment is one of the most crowded and fiercely competitive in the business. The Toyota Camry has long been our nation's best seller, while the Honda Accord has dutifully come in second place, like some sort of codependent Cal Naughton Jr. riding Ricky Bobby's back bumper.
There was that one year, 2001, when the Accord briefly broke the Camry's streak, marring what would today have been a 17-year-long run of best-selling car titles. The Accord pulled the opposite move in 2011, letting sales slip far enough to let not only the Toyota by, but the Nissan Altima and Ford Fusion, as well. Aside from those anomalies, the Camry and Accord have been first and second in this segment since before many of you readers could even drive.
It's 2014, and these frenemies have never before faced a threat to their world order as strong as today's class of family sedans. The aforementioned Altima and Fusion are perhaps the most capable challengers, but the Chevrolet Malibu, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, Volkswagen Passat and Mazda6 are all capable of convincing new buyers to walk their way.

Honda recalling 25k Odyssey minivans over side curtain airbags

Fri, 02 May 2014

Honda's refreshed 2014 Odyssey (now with 100-percent more vacuum power!) launched last year, but is now being called back for issues related to the side curtain airbags. According to Honda, 24,889 Odyssey minivans are affected by an issue that may cause the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light to illuminate or, even worse, cause the side airbags to not deploy in a crash.
What went wrong, exactly? We'll let Honda explain:
During assembly of the electrical coupler for the side curtain airbag on the passenger's side of the vehicle, it is possible that the shorting terminal, which is used to prevent deployment of the airbag before it is assembled into the vehicle, may have been damaged. A damaged shorting terminal may illuminate the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) indicator as well as prevent the side curtain airbag from deploying during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
