2001 Honda Insight 5 Speed Hatchback Reliable With Grid Charger Installed on 2040-cars
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
|
A video and additional pictures are below the description. 2001 Honda Insight 241,xxx miles (the mileage has increased slightly due to continued driving) 5 speed 47-50 mpg Has some cosmetic issues. Prior Salvage Title *When the requirements to clear a salvage title in Minnesota have been met, the vehicle may be subject to branding, and may be branded "prior salvage." Runs fine, drives straight, heat works, battery charges fine. Engine/Transmission: I didn't have time to detail the engine bay, if I am able to before the end of the auction I will post up a new engine bay picture. Sounds like valves need to be adjusted. Transmission shifts fine up-shifting, if you downshift to 2nd or 1st it will grind. New belt. Engine uses timing chain so you dont really have to worry about that. Engine has a slight leak at the drain plug, I believe a new drain plug or some RTV gasket sealant applied to threads will stop it. Interior: Carpet needs a good cleaning. Driver side seat has a tear in the fabric. The seat covers are Dickies brand and are a pretty strong material. Dashboard has scratches, has a Velcro thing on the dash. Hatch area carpet is dirty, but the original optional netting covers it up fine. Some marks on the roof lining. All weather floor mats. Aftermarket radio (USB connection, Aux connection) Exterior: It has scratches throughout the body from normal wear. The roof had a guitar decal on it, when it was removed it left a mark (or residue). Roof has clear coat peeling. Upper right corner under the bumper has a tear in it, not even noticeable unless you look below the car. Some of the black trim is flaking off. Front tires are less than a year old and have great tread. Rear tires are fine but may need replacing in a year. Has tint on the side windows. Battery pack: Its in pretty good condition. Im not sure if its been replaced or not. To be safe I picked up a battery grid charger (trickle charges the battery to re-balance the battery cells). Cons worth noting: Check engine light comes on periodically (P0420), as in it will stay on for 3 days and itll disappear for a month. Very random and it can be ignored or I believe it to be a faulty ECM as that was a common issue with these models. Driver side when you roll it down and roll it up it will lean towards the front. What I've been doing is simply grabbing the front of the window and guiding it when it goes up. Maintenance light is stuck on. This is due to a faulty button. There is someone providing a free fix on InsightCentral. Salvage Title: The impact appears to have been in the rear right quarter panel, but it looks fine. When I was purchasing the car I inspected everywhere besides pulling panels off. When I was installing the grid charger I had to pull the panels off. I could see where some of the fixes were done in that area. Didn't not look like a major damage. Body lines all appear great and the car itself drives straight down the road. Overall: I had intended on keeping this car for a few more years but my wife and I are moving to Japan in January so this has to go. Not a whole lot to the car. Its a basic car that has treated me good. After winning the auction: Has to be picked up in person. I can pick buyer up from the MSP airport, Minneapolis train station, or a Minneapolis bus (Greyhound/Mega Bus) station. If buyer is located within 8 hours from me I could deliver/meet for a fee ($50 first hour, and $25 every hour after) plus fuel cost of the Insight and my wife's car (for there and back). Full payment+estimated fuel cost/fee needs to be made for anything over an hour prior to delivery. Buyer is expected to make a non-refundable deposit of $100.00 using Paypal. This is just to let me know you are serious about picking it up. I can hold the car for 1 week extra. If I need to hold it past a week then I will require full payment otherwise it will be re-listed. Here is a video of the car: 
 Sorry for the dirty engine bay. 
 Deterioration on the steering wheel. 
 Marks on the dashboard. 
 Marks on the roof liner. 
 This is showing the AutoStop working properly.  This is showing how the window leans forward when rolling all the way down.  |

Honda reveals updated rest-of-world Civic hatchback
Thu, 14 Nov 2013The rest of the world's most recent Honda Civic was introduced for 2012, and it looks much the same as the 2014 model Honda will release in January to European and Asian markets. In fact, not much has changed, but a retuned power steering system, revised front and rear damping rates and rear wheel toe and camber adjustments are touted to make the hatchback drive better, World Car Fans reports.
There are some small visual changes, such as privacy glass for the lower rear window, a piano-black front bumper that previously was dark gray and piano-black trim replacing body-color pieces around the license plate area, tailgate and lower bumper. Inside, white stitching adorns the seats, steering wheel and knee pad along with aluminum and gloss-black accents placed around the center console area.
Of course, Honda won't be exporting this particular Civic to the US (or the recently unveiled Civic Tourer), so check out the photo gallery to see it in all its not-for-you glory.
Wagon Attack's crappy Civic Wagon meets its end in Iceland
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Several years ago, we posted a video on a dumpy, all-wheel-drive, turbocharged Honda Civic Wagon that starred in a film called Wagon Attack II. The video showed the rusty, red five-door tackling terrain that no Civic has any business driving on, and doing it with flair and style.
Now, the team that produced the original video are back, with Wagon Attack III. The latest video is packed full of goodness for wagon lovers of any stripe. Where the last video saw the turbocharged wagon in Michigan, though, this time it's been shipped to Iceland, where it's flung about on the beaches and dirt roads of the volcanic island.
The video has a bit of a sad ending, though. You'll need to watch it and see what we mean. We've got the entire video down below. Take a look.
Honda invests $215M in Ohio Earth Dreams production
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Honda has announced a $215 million investment in a pair of its Ohio operations, taking its total tally for North American operations up to $2.7 billion in three years. The announcement was made at the 2013 Center For Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City.
$180 million of the investment is earmarked for Honda's Anna, OH engine plant. The money will allow the facility to increase its aluminum die casting and increase production of Honda's Earth Dreams Technology engines. Think of Earth Dreams as sort of like Mazda's Skyactiv line, only ED is limited to a new line of engines, rather than a full suite of automotive components. Anna will also be getting a new technical center to train engineers, techs, and line workers on powertrain technology.
The remaining $35 million is slated for Honda's main Ohio operations in Marysville. A 160,000-square-foot facility will be constructed near Honda's current properties, which will house another technical training center to focus on automotive manufacturing. The new building will also house Honda's North American Services group, as well as a new heritage center.
