1999 Honda Accord Lx Coupe As Is on 2040-cars
Southington, Connecticut, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1999 Honda Accord LX Coupe (2 Door) with approximately 198,000 miles. I recently purchased a newer Accord and do not have the time (or desire) to fix the issues with thiscar. I will try to describe the car as best I can so everyone knows exactly what they are bidding on. I have been driving the car as a daily driver (mostly highway miles during my ownership), and it is fully operational - you can drive it home. The car drives and runs fine, with only the minor issues noted below. I have owned the car for about 2 years and have put on about 50k miles. I have the title in hand, and it is a clear title.
The car has a manual transmission, a 2.3 Liter 4-cylinder engine and is front wheel drive. The car has A/C, power windows and power locks. The exterior of the car is in overall good condition. The clear-coat was peeling off a few years ago and I had it repainted blue, as you can see. The only minor issue on the exterior is some paint missing on the front bumper due to me pulling too far forward when parking into some icy snow. There are no major dents, dings, scratches, etc on the car. The interior of the car is in great, clean condition. There are no stains, rips, tears, etc on the upholstery and the dash is in very good condition. The only known issues on the inside of the car are that the bulbs that backlight the clock and radio are burned out, which doesn't really affect anything, it's just a little hard to see the buttons at night. Two of the rear speakers seem to be blown out as well. The manual transmission is operating great, there are no issues with the transmission that I have experienced. The car always starts and the engine runs good for the most part, except as follows. The check engine light is currently on (code P0171), which means the car is running lean (not getting enough fuel). Due to this, the car hesitates under hard acceleration, and when returning to idle, the car shudders. It does not really affect the drive-ability of the car, but it is a bit annoying. There also seems to be a small oil leak on the driver's side of the engine, which has been there since I bought the car (it has not gotten any worse since I've owned it). The CV joint also makes a clicking noise when I turn the car under full lock to the left. I replaced one of the CV joints a few months ago, so I'm guessing the other one also needs to be replaced now. The car has new all-season tires on it (maybe a few thousand miles on them). The suspension, alignment and balancing of the wheels all seem good to me. In summary, the car is in overall good condition, with a few minor issues that are easy to fix. It would be great for a daily driver or project car. Feel free to ask any questions prior to bid. If you want to see the car, I am located in central CT and could arrange for a viewing / test drive. Good luck and happy bidding! NOTE - I have described every issue that I know of on the car to the best of my ability - I am not a mechanic. I do guarantee that the car is perfectly drive-able at the moment, however I am selling the car in "AS IS" condition. |

New death linked to Takata airbag crisis, Honda recalls 170k vehicles overseas
Sat, 15 Nov 2014The safety crisis surrounding Takata's exploding airbags continues to expand. In the latest revelation, Honda confirms another death linked to the faulty parts, and the company is expanding its recall of the components. However, none of the newly added vehicles are in the United States.
With the confirmation of this report, there are now five deaths linked to the faulty airbags. According to The New York Times, a pregnant woman in Malaysia was killed on July 27 in a 2003 Honda City when she crashed into another vehicle, and the inflator ruptured. This was the first announced case outside of the US.
The faulty part in the woman's car was reportedly made at a now-closed Takata factory in Georgia, according to the NYT, and it's the first known example from that location. In response, Honda recalled about 170,000 vehicles in Europe and Asia to replace the potentially bad inflators. The latest campaign brings the total number of recalled vehicles worldwide to around 14.3 million units.
Honda recalls select 2013 Accords over fuel tank neck
Fri, 19 Jul 2013Honda and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have announced a recall for 1,659 model-year 2013 Honda Accord vehicles. The affected Accords are Low-Emission Vehicle II rated cars manufactured between January 15 and April 5 of 2013.
The recall is pursuant to a fuel tank neck that might be out of specification, and the variance could result in the fuel pump not properly sealing with the fuel tank. As you might guess, a bad seal here could result in a gasoline leak, posing a fire risk. As of this writing, there have been no reports of fires because of this problem.
Honda will reach out to owners of affected 2013 Accords, directing dealers to replace the cars' fuel tank, nut and O-ring gasket. Expect the notifications when the recall begins in earnest on August 1. FInd the full NHTSA press release below.
McLaren working on P15 supercar to slot between 650S and P1
Thu, 20 Mar 2014McLaren has been busy these past few years. It launched the MP4-12C in 2011, the 12C Spider in 2012, the P1 in 2013 and (most recently) the 650S in 2014. But it's not about to stop there. It's got an "entry-level" model in the works, set to take on the Porsche 911, and - according to information reported by Car and Driver and confirmed by McLaren in correspondence with Autoblog - a new flagship model, too.
The project is internally codenamed P15, and it calls for a new flagship that will cap the company's lineup once the P1 finishes its limited production run, but carry a price tag in the neighborhood of $500k to slot in between the P1 and the new 650S.
Just how, you wonder, can McLaren possibly develop another supercar each year? Simple: underneath, they're all essentially the same. (Only we're sure it's anything but simple.) That is to say they're all based on the same carbon monocoque structure and powered by the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission driving the rear wheels. What differentiates them is what the engineers in Woking build around that monocoque and how they tune the engine: +/- 600 horsepower in the 12C (depending on the year it was built), 640 hp in the 650S, or 727 hp in the P1 (with another 177 from the electric assist). The 911 fighter would likely develop in the 500hp range, and the P15 will probably land in the upper 600 (or lower 700) range.
