Update: This car is no longer for sale. It's my new daily driver. It's just too good to let go. You should have bought it!
 

2010 Honda Accord EX-L V6, 175k miles, GRM price: $5500 firm. Totally mine, completely affiliated.

271 hp at 6,200 and 254 lb-ft at 5,000! This is a fun car that drives very well.

You may have read about this car here.

I am the original owner. My wife drove this car for a few years and then we passed it along to my daughter. It has a clean title in her name. 

It's been living in the city and has been driven by a college student. Please look closely at the pictures. Every body panel is a little lumpy, but it is mechanically sound.
 

The timing belt was changed at 140k. The battery is less than a year old. Recent brakes and lots of other new stuff. Plugs, filters, oil change, etc all done recently.

The leather seats are among the most comfortable I've ever owned, and they have no tears or significant wear. 

A/C blows cold!

No codes or lights on the dash. Just passed CT emission inspection. That's good for the next year and transferable to the new owner.

Very willing to share every detail that I know about the car. The front bumper plus a fender and headlight were replaced after a hit and run driver made a left turn in front of it and took off. The car was driven home, but it would probably show up on a Carfax. I have photos from before the repair. Airbags did not go off as it was not a direct hit. There is a small spot of rust bubbles ahead of the passenger side rear wheel, which I think was due to a clogged sunroof drain (now cleared).

Very happy to answer any questions. I encourage you to come see and drive this car. I would not hesitate to drive the car across the country at this point. I can provide as many photos as you need. 

The car is in Connecticut.

I was telling my wife how I wasn't looking forward to dealing with FB Marketplace and CL people and she suggested that I just put a sign in the window. I told her that we don't get much traffic past the house but she said that we get so many deliveries that maybe one of the drivers would be interested. 
 

Yesterday, the security cameras showed an Amazon truck in the driveway at 3:01.

By 3:03 I had a text asking about the car, so maybe there's something to her theory.

FedEx driver just knocked on the door to ask about the car. 
 

Sign in the Window may be the new Craigslist!

Should be easier to identify the bots at least.

If the A/C was working I'd be pretty tempted, looks like a great daily.

A/C parts arrived yesterday. I'll probably start replacing them tonight.

It's Tuesday, so today's plan was to target the trash collectors. I pulled the car to the end of the driveway and put the sign on it. 
 

An hour later, I heard the truck rounding the corner. I don't have my trash picked up, but they stopped in front of my house and the phone was ringing within a minute.
 

Unfortunately, it's out of his price range, but my wife's strategy seems to be working. This car draws attention, and I still haven't advertised it anywhere else.

There are only five houses on our little dead end street, so it's easy to monitor traffic with the security cameras.
 

Literally 100% of the non-resident drivers who have been on my road since Saturday have contacted me about the car.

Right on. Keep us posted. If it holds a charge, I may have to come get it.

A/C has been repaired.  It blows cold and is holding its charge.

I'm in Western Connecticut.

It depends on how big of an airport you're looking for.
 

Danbury and Waterbury/ Oxford are small but close. Bradley, Tweed-New Haven and Westchester are all less than an hour away.

If it wasn't for the logistics in getting it to me, I would have bought it for a new car for my mother. But CT is just a long, long drive man. Enjoy your new daily!
