2000 Honda Insight Dx 5-spd From Mass./ 1 Owner / Clean Carfax / New Battery ! on 2040-cars
Gasport, New York, United States

If you want a very well cared for, one owner (prior to myself,) original, true survivor, 5-speed Honda Insight, read on! I have owned many First Gen Honda Insights over the last 6 years or so. I am not a dealer. I am an obsessed insight fanatic (private owner.) This particular Insight has spent it's whole life in Massachusetts (except for me over the last 10 months.) It is a very clean example! This is further evidenced by it's super clean carfax report. I have done a ton of work to get this car where it is today. Mechanically: here's just some of the list (using all honda parts:) high voltage battery pack (6 months ago,) new egr valve, transmission rebuilt, new upper and lower o2 sensors, catalytic converter and exhaust gaskets, new windshield, new brake rotors and ceramic pads, both drive axles, both hubs/bearings, new spark plugs, cleaned egr plate, transmission mount, new fuel injectors, new wipers and wiper arms, trip meter button, new trunk actuator, hatch struts, new window switches (including operable auto-down,) grid charger harness, clutch interrupt circuit, regenerative braking circuit, throttle smoothing circuit, etc, etc. Cosmetically: rear view mirror, heater knob, antenna, A-pillar trim clips, pedal covers, steering wheel, rear hatch carpeting, rear net, both driver's and passenger's seats (bottoms and backs,) wipers and arms, new door to window outside trims (both left and right sides,) floor mats, middle mat netting, interior door handles, correct 165/65/14 Bridgestone re92 low rolling resistance tires, all 3 front underbody panels, all new decals, etc, etc. This car is equipped with the rare 4-speaker stereo option, and sounds great! I totally steam cleaned the car's interior (as I do all my insights, but it hardly needed it.) All the rubber is perfect, (around the doors, rear hatch, hood, etc.) The battery pack charges, discharges, and performs flawlessly. I recently replaced the HV battery pack and it performs exactly as it should (in March.) While replacing it, I wired the HV pack for my digital grid charger (as I do all my insights,) and cycle the pack regularly. 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 greatly. To read more about my grid chargers, see my ebay item # 301253131748. The car has the factory owner's manual, key and the remote. Transmission-wise, it shifts perfectly with no synchro grind or bearing noise issues whatsoever (rebuilt 7k miles ago.) The clutch and slave cylinder are perfect too. I recently did a full oil and filter change with the correct Mobil1 0w-20 oil, and a full transmission fluid change, as well. Accessory-wise, everything works exactly as it should; ice cold a/c, heater, 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, (rare 4 speaker option, with great sound,) rear trunk release actuator, rear trunk lock, hatch struts, wipers, squirters, etc, etc. Super clear, non-fogged headlights, etc, etc. There are only small cosmetic imperfections (as would be expected on any car.) Nothing major. No check engine lights at all! I recently had the car fully New York State inspected (includes all safety equipment, lights, brakes, emissions, computer, etc.) It passed all with no problems whatsoever. I have brand new floor mats for the car too! This car is a super nice example, with all the highly desirable mods (clutch interupt, regenerative braking, throttle smoothing circruits, and I'm including one of my brand new digital grid chargers with the car, too! (A $700 value!) All jack equipment and spare tire are in place and nice. I have the clean and clear transferable title, with no liens, in my name. I have done a lot of work to this car to get it exactly where it should be, and as you see it now. It has been my daily driver for the last 10 months, and I planned to keep it. I am only selling it because my wife likes the color of our blue one better! I know these fist gen Honda Insights like the back of my hand, have owned 33 of them now, and do all my own work on them (over 30 years of automotive schooling and experience,) and do not scrimp, always using correct factory Honda parts, right down to the last correct Honda screw. There in nothing missing or inoperable, and NO surprises with this car! You can drive it from N.Y. to CA. 10 times over if you want; it is that reliable. So, if you want the best first gen 5-speed 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, both mechanically and cosmetically (believe me, I know!) This is where the old saying, "You get what you pay for" holds quite true! Any questions at all, feel free to call me directly at 716-946-6070. Thanks for your time and consideration! Respectfully, Chris in Gasport, N.Y. (14067) PS: I also have a couple other very rare first gen 5-speed Honda Insights I'll be selling as well, if you're looking for a true collector/investment insight: 2000 Citrus Metallic 5-speed w/80k original miles, fully redone inside and out, new paint, wired for grid charger, new battery, and new matching citrus & grey seats. Tons of work (like the above listed) to get it as perfect as can be! I build and offer other extremely useful mods for these 2000-06 first gen Honda Insights cars, as well. Some of which include: Honda Insight Grid Charger / New Internal LED Meter w/ Lifetime Warranty & Free Installation (see ebay item # 301253131748.) Clutch Interrupt Circuit (see ebay item #301232998985.) Regenerative Braking Circuit (see ebay item # 301232999246.)

Honda gets weirdly R-Rated with new Civic Type-R launch video
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Honda is still about a year away from bringing back the Civic Type R to challenge Europe's hot hatch ranks, but the wait isn't stopping the brand from starting its promotion in the UK with a truly strange ad campaign.
Titled R-Rated, the marketing plays with the idea of Honda's Type R badge not being something for every driver, and its 60-second short film Disruption definitely isn't for everyone. The teaser video is meant to personify the spirit of the hot Civic by combining aggressively weird imagery with a glimpse of the new model. It cycles through things like a pack of wolves, androgynous models, a lady with a samurai sword and a flaming speed camera before getting to what we all want to see - the car. It's a weird, by turns creepy, video that feels like it's trying to be outlandish without always showing there's much thought behind the madness.
Perhaps the most frightening thing about the Civic Type R is that there are still major doubts about whether its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with an estimated 280 horsepower will make it to North Ameircan showrooms. We understand the business case may be tough, especially when the CTR's hatchback bodystyle isn't sold in America at all, but we think Honda's North American showrooms could use a bit more performance edge, and an affordable halo car like the Type R could do just that.
Honda asking used-car buyers to sign liability document [w/poll]
Thu, 31 Jul 2014
New cars under recall must be repaired before a dealer can sell them but used cars are under no such mandate.
When it comes to informing the car-buying public about potential safety hazards on used vehicles, there are two emerging schools of thought among used-car dealers.
Honda favoring turbo over hybrid for US-market Vezel
Fri, 20 Dec 2013While Honda gears up to unveil the new Fit to the US market at the Detroit Auto Show next month, back in its home market, the car's crossover cousin is just going on sale. The Vezel was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show last month and already has a three-month waiting list in Japan, where Honda projects that 90 percent of customers will opt for the hybrid version. Not so in the United States, however.
When the Vezel reaches American showrooms, there'll be a number of key differences. For starters, it will carry a different name, though Honda isn't saying what that will be. For another, it will be built for North American consumption at Honda's new plant in Mexico, roughly half of whose production capacity is reportedly being allocated to the new crossover. And finally, it'll have a different engine.
In Japan the Vezel is being offered with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, with or without electric assist. Honda won't offer the hybrid version here - at least not initially - but it is preparing to offer a turbo option. Although it has yet to announce US specifications and options, the 1.5-liter turbo four (also unveiled at the Tokyo show) is considered a stronger likelihood than the 1.0- or 2.0-liter versions.
