Vehicle Detail
Summary: For sale is a Teal (green) 1993 Honda Accord LX with tan cloth interior, 4 door, manual 5 speed transmission, 196K miles. Asking $1,500 or best offer. Here are links to the value of the car on a couple of guides: Kelly Blue Book: NADA: Good points/parts that work: This is a very reliable car; it has served us well since we purchased it in 1996 (14 years ago). It has:good brakesnew windshield (8 months ago)no tears or rips in the upholstryAM/FM cassette works fine antenna goes all the way up / downclean Car Fax reportowner's manualmaintenance records3 keysgreat battery / startertires still have some life left in themeven tire wearsmoke free / pet freepower steeringtilt wheelcruise controlpower door lockspower windowsspare tire + jack and tools (mini spare)regular oil changes (every three / four months)no major body damageclear title (in hand)Major issue As you might expect, this car does have one significant problem; it appears to have a leak in the head gasket. The symptoms are that the car overheats after running for a while. After stopping, the car has a steaming / boiling sound coming from the coolent overflow container. A leak in the head gasket could cost about $700 to fix however, we had saved enough for a newer car so we decided that we would give someone else the chance to fix this or use it for a parts car. Currently you can drive it for about 10 miles or 20 minutes without danger of it overheating--further if you run the heater at full blast. Minor issues There are a few other minor problems that I feel it is important to report (so you know what you are getting)the rear driver's side window does not always roll up without some encouragementthe air conditioner does not blow cold air (it leaks freon)some rust by the rear wheels (pictured)the front bumper is partialy wired onone tire (front passenger) is losing air very slowly (about 5 pounds a week or so)one tire (rear passenger) was plugged after it caught a screw in itthe steering system knocks a bit when making tight turns (could be CV joints)the lightbulb for the passenger vanity mirror needs to be replacedone of the lightbulbs for the dash lights needs to be replaced Other Notes: The vehicle is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Check out my feedback rating! I pride myself on giving you an honest report of the condition of the car. Please email if you have any questions or would like to take a test drive; however, I will not be available for test drives on Saturday.
