1983 Honda Accord Base Sedan 4-Door 1.8L

Description for Honda Accord 1983

1983 Honda Accord

Hello Honda lovers! I am listing my 1983 Honda Accord 5-speed sedan. I bought this accord from a local owner who bought in new in 1983. My parents bought a new accord in 1983 as well and I had pleasant memories growing up as kid with that car. I bought this accord as a commuter car though priorities changed and want to pass it on to a Honda enthusiast rather than trying to sell it on CL where somebody will destroy it. The accord is way too clean and original and survived 34 years....it deserves to be preserved.

_I have a ton of service records the original owner kept that go with the Honda including original sales invoice,dealerbrochure and shop manual.

_Runs and drives smooth, carb was rebuilt a year or so back though idles high at times when cold though does not affect driveability. I drive it to work 40 miles round trip daily and has been more reliable than my newer Acura :(

_No smoke, oil and coolant stays clean though battery light comes on at times though starts fine every time.

_Body in decent shape with a rust area below the passenger side rear bumper (valance area) and a spot on the rear wheel well (see pics). Rest of Honda is in good shape including floor pans, trunk etc. If you want more pictures just let me know.

_Newer clutch and engages perfectly and transmission shifts smoothly with no noise.

_New front tires, fuel filter and thermostat along with cap and rotor

_Timing belt and water pump replaced at 160,000 and now has 193,000.

_Has newer CD player and speakers though antenna mask need repaired (pics up local stations though)

The BAD:

_Trunk leaks water under heavy rain, was told it was the tail lamp gaskets which I could not find to purchase.

_Some dings and scrapes (see pics) not too bad for a 34 year old car

_Every now and then underhard acceleration on the freeway the accord bogs a bit though clears up. Has not done it for the past few months after I replaced the fuel filter and cap/rotor.

Please contact me for any question at all. If you want anymore pics just let me know . If you have any friends or family in the Seattle area that wants to inspect the accord before purchase just let me know and that can be arranged. The Accord is sold AS IS and WHERE IS. Buyer is responsible for shipping and transport, if planning to drive long distance I cannot guarantee or cover repairs that might incur. As stated before, the Accord runs and drives great though is a 34 year old car also. I require a $300.00 non refundable deposit within 24 hours after auction ends via paypal. The rest of the balance I would require either a money order or an authorized bank cashiers check within a 7 days after auction ends. If paying by cashiers check, it would have to clear before the Honda and title leave me. Again, please contact me for any questions before you bid, thank you.
