Up for sale is an EXCELLENT ONE OWNER, NON MODIFIED ACURA INTEGRA!!! Whomever wins this auction will be the SECOND OWNER of this fine vehicle. I JUST performed MANY MAJOR Service items on this car PERSONALLY!!! Every Integra you see here on Ebay will eventually need the items I installed on this vehicle...The Integras out here will need these things and are being SOLD BECAUSE they haven't been done yet, and WILL NEED THEM...THIS ONE HAS ALL THE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ALREADY PERFORMED THAT A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC DEEMED PRUDENT!!! I was asked to perform any and ALL services I thought the car would need to be as trouble free as possible. SO I DID... This Acura has a BRAND NEW CLUTCH, Brand New Flywheel (Instead of Resurfacing the Original), A FULL TIMING BELT SERVICE with New Idler Pulleys, Water Pump and Front Main Oil Seal as well as a New Valve Cover Gasket. A FULL TUNE UP...New Distributor Cap, New Rotor and Spark Plugs. The Engine oil has JUST BEEN REPLACE with FULL SYNTHETIC...as usual. The oil can be utilized for the next 5-7000 MILES without worry, this is a conservative estimate of what Full Synth Motor oil can withstand and is DOUBLE what normal oils are rated for...The Oil has just been serviced. While I had the Transmission Out...I installed a NEW REAR Main Oil Seal!!! Because you would be a total Idiot if you didn't do that seal at that time. What Else? Brand New Front Brakes, Brand New Rear Brakes, New Front ROTORS, New Rear ROTORS.....NEW TIRES ALL AROUND... Honestly I performed every service Item I could think of to make this vehicle ready for the next 100K MILES... While the auction is running I may replace the battery if it doesn't pass a few of my tests. The winter was hard on this little battery so I think I will swap it out. My Goal was to ensure that the Female owner would not have to worry about any surprises or be nickle and Dimed to Death as parts eventually wore out one by one. She had the money...and told me to go to work. The interior is in GREAT SHAPE, no issues to note. It has always been clean and well maintained inside. The seats are Beautiful Blue Patterned Velvet Fabric. It also has the Factory floor mat set purchased when new. This Integra is the LS version...It has almost every option available at the time Except Leather Seats. It has Power Everything except seat control. Power Windows, Door Locks, Sunroof, Cruise Control, CD AND Cassette player from the factory. What else? I cant think of anything...if I do I will update the Ad in due time. This car is TURN KEY READY TO DRIVE ANYWHERE AND AS FAR AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. It is in EXCELLENT MECHANICAL CONDITION BY ANY AND ALL MEASURE. I am a Professional Mechanic with OVER 27Yrs in the business and I do an awful lot of Honda vehicles, Honda Motor Swaps and Simple Routine maintenance as well...this Integra is by far one of the nicest, Well Kept ORIGINAL INTEGRAS I have had the pleasure to work on. If it does not sell...I WILL KEEP IT AS MY OWN and this is a PROMISE! Currently I have too many toys so its not a good time for me to take on another vehicle...SO...Sadly to me, she is for sale. You are looking at a vehicle that will be TROUBLE FREE for MANY MANY THOUSANDS OF MILES... I welcome ANY AND ALL to come out to see and drive her. It WILL NOT DISAPPOINT. I am an HONEST GUY and a PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC and I personally Guarantee NOTHING LESS THAN TOTAL SATISFACTION. I am PROUD of this vehicle and honestly I'm sad to see her go...like I said...If she doesn't sell PROPERLY here on Ebay or from private Adverts....SHE WILL BE MY NEW VEHICLE. I have no qualms with that at all... I would sell this vehicle to my mother if she wanted it and could drive a Manual Transmission. It Honestly IS that good. It has NOT been modified with Wheels or Body Ground Effects, Wings or Fart Can Mufflers. It is in STOCK condition as Honda Intended it to be....they did a WONDERFUL job designing this vehicle and I don't presume to be able to out-do Honda when it comes to Engineering. If you do NOT know how to drive a Manual Transmission....I WILL GLADLY TEACH YOU...I have literally taught over 75 people how to drive a manual transmission!!! When you know WHY you are using the clutch and what is happening inside the Transmission you will VERY QUICKLY learn to drive a manual...IT IS NOT DIFFICULT and IN FACT provides you with A LOT more CONTROL of the vehicle, Longer Vehicle Life (BY FAR), and one hell of A LOT MORE FUN actually!!! This Integra RUNS, DRIVES AND HANDLES ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESSLY...I DARE ANYONE TO DISAGREE....It CANNOT be argued. ITS MECHANICALLY PERFECT...IT IS THAT SIMPLE. Like I said I am an HONEST GUY and VERY PROUD of this car. No TRICKS, NO GIMMICKS...NO BULLSHIT. I don't have time for BS so I assume you don't either. You might want to know the REASON this is being sold? The Original ADULT Owner fully intended to be driving this the next 100K that is why she invested all this money in her baby and it really was Her BABY, she loved and STILL LOVES this vehicle, she bought it off the showroom floor in 98' to be exact. There was an issue within the family and her mother was suddenly unable to drive her NEW BMW until she takes a vehicle license Retest, which may happen and negate the need to sell this vehicle... So...guess who got to take over the wheel of said BMW? You guessed it...the owner of THIS vehicle... She had me do all of this work BEFORE all of this happened...and unexpectedly she fell into a new BMW to drive. So with nowhere really to store this safely...she is up for sale. I hope someone buys and enjoys this Integra...it will NO DOUBT make one of you VERY VERY HAPPY. If you don't buy this car...ITS MINE quite Frankly a part of me wants this endeavor to FAIL, but she needs to recoup some of the LARGE INVESTMENT she has in this car...So I agreed to sell it for her. I will simply MAKE ROOM for it. I'm not ready to do this...but I will make an exception in this case. A LOT HAS BEEN INVESTED HERE AND IT IS QUITE EVIDENT IN THE WAY IT PRESENTS ITSELF. It RUNS, DRIVES AND HANDLES ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESSLY. Quite a statement and one that I DO NOT MAKE LIGHTLY. Its rare that you get to sell something THIS SOLID Something you KNOW will appease the TOUGHEST CRITIC...BUT...HERE IT IS. Its nice to be representing something that is HONESTLY SOLID, Something this Reliable and Stout. Prepare to be PLEASANTLY SURPRISED PEOPLE...NO GAME PLAYING NO BULLSHIT...AS YOU WILL SEE. The previous owners ONLY Complaint on her beloved vehicle? She wanted to get her painted eventually...The paint is in NO WAY bad or Ugly AT ALL!!! It is just starting to show its age in one or two small areas. I think it looks GREAT actually and you might as well, but she wanted to get her resprayed at SOME POINT, maybe not right away but she did mention it to me...I told her she was nuts. I took MANY PHOTOS to display this vehicle in ALL OF ITS HONESTY. There is a small area on the back quarter near the window that has paint fading...but I believe I can buff this out, its not big or bad but I think this is what bothered her to a degree to want to get her painted. There is also a small area on the rear bumper that has been rubbed off...either that or it has had material left on the bumper that needs to be removed...I will inspect this further shortly. Personally I'd buff it out the area on the Rear Quarter and call it a day...You might agree to do the same thing since it really isn't a major issue in any way. In fact I may do Just That while the Auction Runs and then re-post the results on the Auction. You might notice on the interior photos the shifter boot is hanging down in the front? I disconnected the boot on purpose while I was cleaning that area...I will put it back the way its supposed to be in a moment...its not broken, I forgot about it and then saw it in my photos. Its a NON Issue...and will be corrected momentarily, Ignore it. ANYWAY, I tried to show you EVERYTHING as though you were standing in front of the vehicle. Not trying to hide a DAMN THING...WHY? BECAUSE THIS CAR IS SOLID SOLID SOLID...It will NOT DISAPPOINT...AS I HAVE SAID 2X PRIOR. It's EASY to sell a vehicle like this...in this condition...Because Honestly ...IT WILL SELL ITSELF!!! I'm offering an honest to goodness MECHANICALLY SOLID INTEGRA HERE...ANYONE WHO KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT CARS WILL QUICKLY SEE THIS. No need for me to go on and on any more than I already have. Its RARE that you find a vehicle with ALL of this Preventive Maintenance already Performed, well YOU JUST FOUND ONE. This is NOT a typical used vehicle with all sorts of future part failures looming in the background waiting to Nickle and Dime you to death. This is what PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE IS ALL ABOUT PEOPLE...THIS ACURA INTEGRA IS "LIVING PROOF" of this Philosophy. NO BS. I reserve the right to end this Auction AT ANY TIME due to Word of Mouth and Local Adverts. I DO have A "BUY IT NOW" Price in mind HOWEVER DUE TO EBAY JOKERS who like to hit the "Buy it Now" Button and then run away, I am UNABLE to offer this option on the Auction. If you want the vehicle...MAKE ME A SOLID NO BS OFFER and we can talk. The car is for sale...the intent is to find a new driver for her. You will be the SECOND OWNER of this car!!! I encourage anyone interested to come and see her...You WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. This is a SERIOUSLY NICE INTEGRA... YOU WILL NEED NO MECHANICAL ITEMS FOR QUITE SOME TIME....Honestly I couldn't tell you what it might need next, I covered the most important areas to be concerned with on a vehicle like this. I tried to cover ALL the Major Areas and believe me, I know what I'm doing. Hands down this Integra FAR OUTSHINES ANY other stock Integra out here. I say this with CONFIDENCE because I have read every single Integra Ad out here and on other sites and NONE OF THEM HAS HAD THIS LEVEL OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED....NONE OF THEM. So in time those vehicles WILL NEED EVERYTHING THAT I ALREADY DID ON THIS CAR AND IT WILL COST YOU A FORTUNE TO HAVE THE EQUAL WORK DONE...TRUST ME, I KNOW WHAT THIS COSTS OUT THERE. I've been doing this OVER 27 years and I know how to PROPERLY maintain nice vehicles. SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!! THIS IS THE REAL DEAL...NO BS INVOLVED...TIME WASTERS AND LOW BALLERS NEED NOT APPLY. If you cannot recognize what is in front of you I honestly don't have time for that either. You just found the most reliable and mechanically Honest Acura Integra out here...I say this with the UTMOST Confidence. I DO NOT PLAY GAMES WHEN IT COMES TO CARS, TRUCKS or MOTORCYCLES...I say what I mean, and I mean what I say. You will quickly know this to be true when you meet me. I do NOT suffer FOOLS...If you do not know cars I would be happy to teach you as I have done countless times. Bid WITH CONFIDENCE HERE...THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY ROCK SOLID VEHICLE...READY TO DRIVE ABSOLUTELY ANYWHERE AND TO BE ENTRUSTED TO ANYONE YOU CARE ABOUT...THIS CAR WILL NOT DISAPPOINT...THIS WILL BECOME QUICKLY APPARENT TO ANYONE. This Integra is already Inspected for use in PA. If you are located OUT of the State of PA I will ASSIST in getting the vehicle to a local shipper who will take the vehicle to you, as I have done many times before. The BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE for ANY AND ALL shipping arrangements and PAYMENTS if there is need to ship the vehicle to your location. I will assist in any way I can to make the shipping as smooth and painless as possible. LIKE I SAID... I DO HAVE A BUY IT NOW PRICE IN MIND, HOWEVER due to Ebay Jokers, I am unable to provide this option on this auction. Some idiots out here just LOVE to hit your "Buy It Now" Button and then RUN AWAY...thus closing and also Ruining your Auction. NO THANKS...Been there, Done that. I require a NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT/DOWN PAYMENT of $300 within 24 Hours of AUCTION CLOSE. This is to ensure me of the buyers integrity and INTENT to buy. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION AT ANY MOMENT DUE TO LOCAL SALE...The first one with the CASH BUYS THIS VEHICLE...ITS A SIMPLE CONCEPT.

SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO BE VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR NEW VEHICLE. On Apr-21-15 at 13:05:22 PDT, seller added the following information: I forgot to mention the very first of the repairs that I performed on this Integra. I replaced BOTH front Axles and Front Wheel Bearings. The CV Joint dust boots had both cracked and the passenger side Wheel Bearing had begun to make noise. So I decided that instead of replacing only the boots on the front Axles I would simply replace both of them to be cost effective. Replacing the CV Boots alone costs as much if not MORE than buying new Axles with the new boots already installed. I am sorry that I forgot to include this information but I forgot about this because it was the first of all the repairs that I performed on this vehicle. It looks as though I may be ending this auction in a few days, the bidding is nowhere near covering even the parts invested in this vehicle and I have a very strong local interest from the local adverts running. It may be prudent to end this auction and take the sale of this vehicle off the net and into the Old Fashioned way of selling a nice reliable vehicle. I have showed the vehicle to two parties thus far and they are currently in their own version of a private auction. I may simply end this online bidding. I just wanted to warn those interested. Its time for serious offers, and I dont see them here. I will inform you before ending this listing just to be polite. If anyone has offers they would like to make prior to this, please feel free. Well thats about it. Thank you to all interested parties. On Apr-23-15 at 11:15:55 PDT, seller added the following information: LET IT BE KNOWN....BIDDERS WITH A ZERO FEEDBACK RATING....OR OTHERWISE BRAND NEW EBAY MEMBERS NEED TO CONTACT ME PRIOR TO BIDDING ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD MANY MANY INSTANCES OF ZERO FEEDBACKERS AND OR NEW MEMBERS COMPLETELY RUIN A VALID AUCTION...EITHER BECAUSE THEY ARE PLAYING GAMES, LIKE TO RUIN AUCTIONS, ARE DREAMING, OR WHAT HAVE YOU. I WILL BE CANCELLING BIDS FROM EBAY MEMBERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK UNLESS I HEAR FROM THEM VIA EMAIL AND OR PHONE. SORRY BUT THATS HOW ITS GONNA BE... IM NOT INTO WASTING ANYONES TIME...I WONT WASTE YOURS SO DONT WASTE MINE. THIS IS AN HONEST AUCTION FOR AN ABSOLUTELY SOLID ACURA INTEGRA. PLEASE DONT RUIN MY AUCTION...ID APPRECIATE IT
