MD F/T - 1994 Accord EX 4 door - Reliable Daily - Skunk2/KYB/ROH/RSX-S
CLEAN AND CLEAR TITLE. PLEASE READ FULL AD. I'LL UPDATE AS I THINK OF THINGS. THANK YOU.
TRADES FOR:
- Older FULL SIZE Trucks - At least Ext Cab or Older Crew Cab trucks.
- Long bed preferred
- 4WD preferred but 2WD Ok
- Automatic preferred for my wife to drive too
- Older Diesels are a huge plus - Ford IDI's, GM 6.2/6.5's
- No major rust
- Nothing with too much of a lift, small lift is fine
F-150/250/350, FULL SIZE Bronco's, K5's, Jimmy's, Blazers with removable top, maybe Suburban.
LONG WINDED THREAD. Prepare yourself.
Just to give you a little background on myself - I'm 30 years old and don't beat on my vehicles. I'm also a GOD fearing Christian and a military veteran and I work for the Navy/Marine Corp as an Engineering Technician on PAX River NAS. I bought this car strictly for a nice reliable daily driver and had zero plans to sell/trade it... and even as I write this, I might regret it.
I have a 94 Honda Accord EX sedan. It can be tagged historic. It's an Automatic. Base traffic almost requires an automatic! It comes with power SUNROOF (works flawlessly with ZERO leaks!), power windows, locks, REMOTE START (Awesome in the winter!), A/C, Heat, Cruise Control (works perfect), and A LOT of new parts. I've spent around $1800+ in the past year and a half I've owned it to keep it daily drivable and reliable. I also have a 1 inch binder full of receipts and records dating back to 2003. I bought it off of my wife's good friend back in October 2012 (with 243,XXX miles) who had it in her family for a long time. Her Dad kept up on the maintenance regularly for her with paperwork to prove it. He then took it back after she bought a new car and he drove it occasionally to work until I bought it from him. I only bought it because of the history record he had on it and how well he kept it up. It has a good bit of miles on her (255,XXX miles now), but I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car on a moment's notice across the country. Honda, one of the few manufacturers that I would trust with this many miles besides a diesel!
THE GOOD, BRAND NEW:
Lower Ball Joints - July 2014
Outer Tie Rods - July 2014
Passenger side axle - July 2014
Both Front wheel bearings - July 2014
Passenger side hub replaced - July 2014
KYB GR-2 Shocks/Struts - June 2014
Skunk2 coilover kit - June 2014
Falcon Steering end link bushing kit - June 2014
Brand New SS cat back exhaust with slightly used RSX-S factory Honda muffler. Still as quiet as stock but looks better IMO - May 2014
F/R C/S rotors - June 2014
F/R pads - June 2014
Rotor-over-hub (ROH) swap - For those of you not familiar, it makes it so that you can change your brakes with ease yourself as the factory Accord brakes were Hub-Over-Rotor (HOR). Research it, a royal pain in the butt. - June 2014
Prelude Calipers and brake lines (Better than Accords) - June 2014
4 wheel alignment after suspension replacement. Zeroed the toe. - June 2014
MORE GOOD, KIND OF NEW:
Brand New Battery - Oct 2012
Brand New Radiator with coolant flush - Nov 2012
New Tires - 2012
AEM intake with AEM cone filter - Nov 2012
NGK plugs - Feb 2013
Spark plug wires (can't remember brand)- Feb 2013
Newer taillights - Nov 2012
Brand new front turn signals - May 2014
6000K Xentec HID's - Nov 2012
New Transmission from AAMCO - 2005 (Serviced regularly) Also have 3qts of Honda ATF for a fluid change when needed.
New Bridgestone Tires - 2012
Cleanly run 12" MTX Thunder Sub with MTX Amp. Nice sound, nothing obnoxious. Just for a little better listening pleasure. Will keep it in if it sweetens the deal.
Front Camber kit - Not installed, have it for buyer
FIXES:
Speedo/Trip fix - common issue.
Main relay fix - starts every time.
IACV/FITV Delete - Fixed the bouncy idle. This mod does cause the RPM's to drop some when a load is put on the engine i.e. A/C. The A/C still works flawlessly, just need to watch RPM's if A/C is applied while stopped. In motion, does not affect anything at all. I know, kind of ghetto, but worth it instead of paying $200+ for another IACV to go bad in a few years. I've been driving like this for 2 summers now.
EGR ports cleaned
TB/IM/Plenum cleaned
Injector O-rings replaced
Rear Camber mod with longer bolts and washers. Does the trick.
THINGS TO MENTION:
Paint isn't the best. It's not horrible by any means but the paint is faded/peeling/chipping (mainly hood, roof, trunk) but nothing horrible, and 2 minor rust bubble spots over rear wheel wells (infamous Honda issue), again nothing horrible. NO other rust AT ALL. There are a few small dents but no mangled panels or wrinkles anywhere. Never been in an accident. It used to have a factory spoiler, but it was in bad shape and blocked my view out of the rear window so I removed it. The holes are directly over the drain area of the trunk so water doesn't go inside of the trunk. Driver's side window works, but needs some help going up. All others work fine. The ABS is not in use. The ABS module was on its way out (making the whirring noise on start-up) and after I researched it, I wasn't forking out the ridiculous amounts of money to replace it. The brakes work perfectly fine with the ABS fuse pulled. The ABS light is on, but the brakes work flawlessly. I've driven like this for over a year without one single gripe. I've had to slam on the brakes multiple times and this car stops on a dime even more-so with the new brake set-up. Just want to mention it though! Valve cover gasket might need replacing in the future. Slight oil dripping out. No other leaks anywhere! Does not burn oil one bit! Headlights are hazed up but the HID's help with light output.
The interior....well, it's not perfect by any means, but it's not gross or smelly. The stains are from the previous owner(s). I couldn't tell you what they're from. All original Accord floor mats are included too. I normally steam clean any vehicle I purchase, but I didn't touch this one with the exception of vacuuming it and wiping it down with Lysol wipes. Everything is there and intact, but it could use a day's worth of good scrubbing. It gets me around and to work and back. It's no trophy winner, but there are no cuts or tears. 2 cig burns, again from previous ownership, I don't smoke. 1 on driver's seat and 1 on driver door panel. Nothing horrible, someone was just learning how to smoke I guess. IT DOESN'T SMELL AT ALL. Again, just want to mention EVERYTHING.
WHAT IT NEEDS RIGHT NOW:
Cracked windshield from this past winter - "V" shape kind of in the center of windshield. Never bothered me enough to replace.
SUMMARY:
The car starts every single time with zero issues. It gets 26-32 MPG's depending on driving habits. Takes $40-$45 to fill up and lasts a few weeks depending on how long your commute is and how often you drive it. It's an older but healthy and reliable Honda that's built to last. With the exception of the things mentioned above, it's a solid DD and will go many more miles. I've addressed a lot of the known issues already. Fun and good looking DD. I'm reluctant on even getting rid of it for the gas mileage alone, but I'm looking for a truck or something with some towing power. Clean and clear title ready to be signed over.
Please feel free to ask any questions and let me know if there is any interest of trading. I try to be as honest as I can and I have nothing to hide
