1989 Honda Accord LX-i Black 4-Door Sedan Sunroof Not Running

Up for bid is a 1989

Honda Accord:

CONDITION

- The vehicle started

significantly smoking from the exhaust pipe in Mid May and was diagnosed with

either bad rings or head. which requires either an engine disassemble/rebuild

or replacement.

I am listing this as

"Not Running" but the car does start and runs but is unsafe on the

road and will most likely freeze up at any time.

It would have to be towed away.

There is also the possibility of a leak in

the power steering system.

The

reservoir was completely empty.

I knew

it but felt there was a leak because of liquid on the front of the engine (?)

being burned off and it was slowly becoming manual steering.

I left it empty until I could have it

fixed.

When the repair facility

diagnosed the engine problem. they put fluid in and the steering was working

fine.

PURCHASE HISTORY

- I purchased the

vehicle in January 2013. The prior owner was not the original owner. The

vehicle was purchased in California and driven to Washington. where I am now

residing.

STARTER

- The prior owner replaced the starter with a switch/push

button starter.

It requires the

ignition key to drive the vehicle.

I

have had no problems at all with the starter.

REPAIR HISTORY:

•

Prior owner stated

that he had recently installed a rebuilt transmission.

I have no paperwork for that.

•

October 2013 - I put

new tires on prior to my trip to Washington.

•

October 2013 (in WA)

- Replaced fuel injectors. replaced both front axles. remove and replace

valve cover gasket. remove and replace oil pan gasket. replace rear

shoes/adjust brakes. new wiper blades.

COSMETIC/OTHER DETAILS:

•

When I purchased the

car (CA). it had to have a smog check and it successfully passed.

Smog checks are not required in WA for

vehicles this old.

•

The sunroof. I

believe. is still weatherproof.

I made

it through a WA winter with no signs of leaking.

•

Paint is peeling -

worst spots are on the bumper. hood and roof.

•

There are some small

dents here and there - mainly on doors.

•

The prior owner put

in a JVC HD radio.

I don't know

anything about HD radios and I've not been able to figure out how it works or

adjusts.

There is no on/off so I just

turn the sound down.

But it does work

and has a nice sound.

The rooftop

antenna is held in place but some type of gum-type substance (prior owner).

•

There is no A/C - my

friend says it looks like the equipment was removed (?).

•

The seats and floor

mats are worn and have dirt spots - possibly with a good cleaning. they would

look nice.

•

The trip meter does

not work.

•

When rolled up. the

driver's side window leaves a small gap on the side at the top.

This can be resolved by simply putting one

hand on each side of the window and pulling it towards you.

•

The other (3) windows

seemed to be slowing down in returning them to a closed position.

•

Included is the

anti-theft device "The Club. "

I've loved driving this car.

It has run so nicely and so smoothly.

It's a fun little car if you want to invest in the engine.
