Known issues with car:

• Front passenger side subframe rusting - told by mechanic that finger diameter size hole exists - known issue with Honda Accords of this generation (see youtube “honda accord subframe rust”)
• Failing radiator - coolant leaks from radiator and has to be topped off - when engine is warmed up, steam will come out of the radiator - engine still operating normally - no engine and coolant lights are lit
• Car pulls to the right while driving - had alignment performed but did not fix pull - could be caused by “radial pull” due to one of the tires
• Cosmetic exterior paint issues - Paint in rough shape and assorted scratches/door dings all over car
• Hood rod clip and grommet are missing; hood rod still works to keep hood open during engine inspection
• Car rear-ended - no airbag deployment - bumper repaired professionally
• Small amount of power steering fluid goes missing in extremely cold weather - top off required - unknown if leak from a hose and/or power steering pump
• Lost valet key
• Passenger side fuse cover no longer securely attaches
• Tire life tread less than 50%
• Numerical button #2 on radio/CD changer sticks
• When starting car in really cold weather (less than 30 deg F), engine sometimes makes “chirping” sound when starting and not start right away. Could be idler/pulley issue. Timing belt last changed April 2014 along with water pump.

• Car sold “as-is” and for parts only.
