Hello... We're expecting our second baby next month so time to let this rare gem GO. I don't have any more time nor the funds to take care of her and need to focus on more family expenses, so better to pass it on to someone who truly appreciates this classic. Acquired this beauty in 2009 from second owner in West New York, with 38,000 miles, garaged kept. Good running condition Honda Accord LX Hatchback 5 Speed Manual shifts smoothly with good tight response; NY State Registration and Inspection valid until May 2016. Gently used and well taken care of; occasionally driven mostly on the weekends for pleasure only and not for commuting to work. Alternate-side parked on the street daily, now 44,700 miles on it. Drives solid and straight, suspension good. Normal wear and tear for its age (36y/o)...some small surface dents and rust as pictured; some rust underside noted. All the electronics work, even the clock keeps accurate time; both front/rear wipers and washers, lights/ high and low beam/ brakes (and in reverse), L/R signals/hazards, horn, heat, defrost, stock original radio, alternator good, blows out strong heat, A/C works but needs recharge, windows roll smoothly, doors work correctly, clean interior (non-smoker), original spare tire, original owner's manual included. Only known leak is power steering fluid minimal; rebuilt carburetor 3 yrs ago, new clutch 2 yrs ago, new muffler/exhaust 3 years ago, brake pads, emergency brake cable 6 months ago; tires are all matching Michelin with more than 60% tread left; maintained with scheduled 3-5 month Castrol oil changes @ the local CarWash Lube for the past 7 years. Starts up rough and stays on for about 20-30 seconds but shuts off after recent cold brutal winter; carburetor needs tuning adjustment or rebuilt; currently garaged for the past few weeks. Drivable, but a tow or shipping arrangement advised. This 3-door model orange metallic exterior/ tan velour interior color combo is very rare, and for its age and overall good condition; sold as-is and described to the best of my knowledge...let the photos do the justice.
