2000 Honda Insight 5-speed / 67k Miles / Garage Kept / Absolutely Beautiful ! on 2040-cars

If you want one of the lowest original mile, first gen 5-speed insights in the country, read on! I have owned many First Gen Honda Insights over the last 6 years or so. This is the lowest original mile insight I've been able to find! It is from Ohio it's whole life, and I keep it in my garage. And it shows! The body is very nice, and the paint shines! The usual items that get sun baked are not (rear wing, a-pillar trims, steering wheel, side mirrors, headlights, exterior moldings, door handles, emblems, roof pinch weld moldings, etc, etc.) The usual items that get corroded due to salt exposure are not (brake lines, brackets, nuts, bolts, trim pieces, suspension pieces, underhood items, etc.) Interior-wise, again, the car is very nice. Neither the seats nor the rug are worn through (both normal for these cars,) the steering wheel, dash, headliner, door panels, trunk carpeting, etc have no rips or heavy wear. All the rubber is intact, with no rips (around the doors, rear hatch, hood, etc.) It has the correct Bridgestone RE92 tires with a very good amount of tread remaining (they look newer and ride great!) Mechanically, everything works on the car. It performs flawlessly, gets into and holds lean burn perfectly, does not leak or burn any fluids at all, and is a super smooth rider. IMA-wise, the battery charges and discharges exactly as it should. It assists and regens exactly as it should. I've wired the car for my digital grid charger (again, as I do all my insights,) and cycle the pack regularly (considering the car is stored in my garage and not being driven.) For those not in the know, grid charging the pack peaks and equalizes the cells within the pack. This is extremely good for the battery, and prolongs it's life and health. The car has the owners manual, both keys and a remote, too. Transmission-wise, it shifts perfectly with no synchro grind or issues whatsoever. The clutch and slave cylinder are perfect too. Accessory-wise, again, everything works exactly as it should; heater, ice cold air conditioning, blower fan, power windows and switches, power locks and switches, turn signals, every bulb inside and out, all the dash including the trip meter, horn, turn signals, stock Honda am/fm/cassette stereo, speakers, rear trunk release actuator, rear trunk lock, hatch struts, etc, etc. This car is as nice as they come. All jack equipment and spare tire are in place and in good shape, too. It drives extremely tight with no rattles or squeaks, (as should be expected from such a low mile vehicle.) I have the clean and clear transferable title, with no liens, in my name. So, if you want the best car for your money, look no further. Can you buy an insight cheaper? Yup. But what you save in initial costs, you'll put back into the car fixing the stuff it needs. And you still won't have nearly as nice a car! These first gen 5-speeds are extremely fun to drive, and even more fun when you realise you only go thru about 10 gallons of gas, every 700+ miles or so! This is where the old saying, "You get what you pay for" holds quite true! I encourage you to come look at and drive the car yourslf, or have a 3rd party come check it out on your behalf! Any questions; call me directly at 716-946-6070. Thanks for your time and consideration! Respectfully, Chris in Gasport, N.Y. (14067) PS: I also have an all original Citrus-colored 2000 5-speed from Florida with only 88k miles, that I'll be listing within the next few weeks; feel free to inquire. Also, on any of my insights, I can add any of the desirable modifications (grid charger, clutch interrupt circuit, brake regen circuit, throttle smoothing circuit) all of which I build, sell and regularly install myself on my daily drivers and other's insights, at cost. If you do purchase an insight from me, I always offer the buyer one of my grid chargers at a discounted price. If you want to read up any of these mods, near the top right of your ebay home page, hit the "see other items" button. You can read up on these extremely versatile and widely used mods among the insight owners community. Or copy and paste the ebay numbers below in the search bar.... Thanks again! Chris

Honda CEO says we shouldn't expect any new sports cars
Tue, 19 Nov 2013It wasn't so long ago that Honda was known for its sporty two-door models, with models ranging from the Civic del Sol to the Prelude and from the Acura Integra and RSX to the Honda S2000. But look at its range today and all you'll see are the Civic and Accord coupes. Honda has essentially let competitors like the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ and Nissan 370Z take the place it once claimed as its own. But if you were hoping Honda would fight back with a new coupe or convertible of its own, we're afraid you're going to have to downgrade those hopes to pipe dreams.
While in Japan ahead of the Tokyo Motor Show, Autoblog had a chance to sit down with American Honda CEO Tetsuo Iwamura (pictured at right). When we asked about the potential for a new sports coupe or convertible in the Honda or Acura lineup, he pointed to the current Civic and Accord coupes - not to mention the upcoming new NSX - but said that Honda has no replacement for any of the aforementioned models (or a rival for the FR-S or 370Z) in the pipeline, saying only that the company is monitoring potential demand.
What Iwamura-san did note was that he's a personal fan of the new S660 roadster (pictured above) set to be unveiled tomorrow, and he is pushing (or at least hoping) that it will come to North America. Given that he's head of both Honda's American office and its global automobile operations, one might think that the only person he would have to persuade is himself (well... himself, and potential buyers), but the sporty droptop looks to be about kei-sized, which sadly suggests that it may be too small for American tastes and perhaps not designed with US crash-test standards in mind anyway.
Six 'shut up and take my money' cars
Tue, 11 Nov 2014Any time you see this iconic moment in pop culture - Shut up and take my money! - posted in response to a new car reveal, rumor for an upcoming model or even lip-service to a vehicle that should exist, you can bet there's some intrinsic good in the idea. Though depending on the person offering up the cash, that good could take the form of extraordinary form, functionality, weight savings, power, handling, etc. You get the idea.
In fact, when I first proposed this list, I reached out to the Autoblog staff to help me brainstorm. Here are some of the ideas they offered up that I ultimately didn't use: Jaguar XE Coupe, Pagani Huayra Roadster, Mercedes-Benz S-Class "parade car" (cabriolet), Morgan 3-Wheeler with Ducati V-twin, Ford Transit Connectamino (pickup), Mercedes CLA63 AMG, Ford Fusion 5.0, BMW i8 Spyder, Lexus RC-F Shooting Brake, Volvo XC90 Polestar. Oh, and things we collectively wanted to stick Dodge's Hellcat in were almost as numerous as models that Fiat Chrysler Automotive currently makes (though none quite so compelling as the Grand Cherokee you see above.)
Ultimately though, while I used a couple of ideas from my colleagues, the list of cars I'd shell out for unquestionably is very personal. Though it isn't complete, what follows is a selection of cars whose very existence would prompt me - or the trust-fund-baby versions of me - to utter without hesitation: "Shut up and take my money."
Honda motorcycles most stolen, just like Honda autos
Tue, 26 Nov 2013It comes as no surprise that Honda's Civic and Accord are the most stolen cars in America, but as it turns out, thieves like the company's motorcycles the most too, according to a study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). Out of the 46,061 two-wheelers stolen in 2012, 9,082 of them were Hondas. While that's bad news for Honda motorcycle owners, at least motorcycle theft went down slightly from 2011, which had 46,667 reported thefts. Motorcycle theft recoveries, on the other hand, were just 39 percent.
Yamaha is up next in the theft rankings (7,517), then Suzuki (7,017). The numbers drop a bit for fourth and fifth place, Kawasaki (4,839) and Harley-Davidson (3,755). These five brands are far and away the most stolen motorcycles: sixth place, apparently held by scooter, dirtbike and ATV maker Taotao, dropped to 914 theft reports.
California had the most reported thefts (6,082), followed by Florida (4,110), Texas (3,400), North Carolina (2,574) and Indiana (2,334). By city, New York City had the most reported thefts (903), followed by Las Vegas (757), San Diego (633), Indianapolis (584) and Miami (535.
