Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Excellent condition consistent with low original miles. Very minimal normal nicks on paint consistent with a well cared for 13 year old car. No serious body scratches or damage. Original paint is excellent and not faded. Ice cold a\c."

VERY nice low mileage "first generation" Insight. I purchased it in November of 2011, and it had around 59000 miles on it. I looked high and low for a low mileage, original Insight, and most had 150,000 and more miles on them. This one was and still is, in almost mint condition. I have done the normal routine maintenance, and I actually have records to prove it. I always keep my cars running in top condition, and I also always keep meticulous records and receipts to document the vehicle maintenance history to a buyer. This car needs nothing.

The battery pack was replaced under warranty at around 34000 miles in June of 2010. For those of you who don't know about these cars, there are after market battery packs available which are less expensive and superior to the factory original, so if in the future you need a new battery pack, it will be available at a reasonable cost. However, the battery light does not come on, and there is no indication that there are any problems with the pack or the charging system. Since I have purchased the vehicle, I have of course changed oil with proper synthetic oil and flushed and refilled the radiator, Although they really didn't need replacing as a preventative measure I had the serpentine belt, air filter, rear wiper blade, upper and lower radiator hoses, front brake pads and rotors replaced. I also had the cabin air filter replaced, which as it turns out, was the first time it was ever replaced. I have receipts to document everything.

I installed a very nice Sony stereo. It has blue tooth, USB, MP3, HD radio and a sub woofer. It is also wired for Sirrius XM, which can be activated anytime by the buyer.. All of the sound components work flawlessness.

The car rides solid, and there are no serious rattles or odd sounds. It comes with original factory Insight floor mats, although they are showing normal wear for being 13 years old. Overall the interior can be described as almost perfect, if not perfect. Both seats are covered with deluxe, thick, custom real sheepskin seat covers which cost me $300 each (not pictured, but I have the receipt and I can provide pictures). The skins are thick, comfy and flawless. Some slight stain on the driver side interior door panel from a careless mechanic opening the door with dirty fingers. Very minor, but I thought I'd mention it. All controls, switches and lights work perfectly. All functions of the digital dash work perfectly. All headlights and tail lights work perfectly. The exterior paint is not faded and looks almost new. I don't know exactly how much tread is left on the tires, but I suspect a good 20,000 miles maybe a little less?

The "auto stop" feature works as it should, and the car runs great. Original spare tire and jack are included and in perfect condition. It's fairly hard to find low mileage, well maintained Insights, but this one is very, very nice and original. Depending on how you drive it, it can get more than 70 mpgs. The official EPA estimates are 70mpgs highway and 61 mpgs city.

I have tried to be as transparent as possible regarding the condition of this car, however, it is a 13 year old vehicle, as as such, it is being sold as is with no warranty. I will be happy to assist in any way I can with shipping, although I would not hesitate to drive this vehicle cross country.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, and I will respond promptly.

McLaren pondering Honda-powered 911 killer?

Tue, 21 May 2013

As one of the premier sports cars in the world, the Porsche 911 is always driving around with a target on its rear-engined backside. If a new report is to be believed, the latest automaker with plans to build a 911-fighting sports coupe could be McLaren. Motor Trend is reporting that the recent news that Honda and McLaren are teaming up to build Formula One racecars could bear road-going fruit as well.
According to the article, the unnamed entry-level McLaren coupe may be powered by a Honda-sourced engine, but a detuned version of the 3.8-liter V8 from the MP4-12C is said to be more likely. All in, though, there is no solid information on the car just yet. As a reminder, M/T points out that the last time McLaren partnered up with a mainstream automaker, the world was introduced to the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.

Honda Civic Wagon Concept to debut at Geneva

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

Honda is getting warmed up for the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, with a sketch of some very Euro-flavored forbidden fruit. Seen above (click on the image to see an expanded view) is the Honda Civic Wagon Concept Model - a rather tentative name for a car that Honda claims "provides strong cues for the exterior design of the final mass produced version."
The sketch seen here is obviously very stylized, but we think that if Honda can stay true to its sleek rounded forms and aggressive silhouette, the final product could be quite fetching. Note that this is an image handed out by Honda of Europe, for a European auto show - we have every expectation that that any production-ready Civic wagon will be a Europe-only deal. Sorry, guys.
Find Honda's brief press release below, which also includes news of the European debut of the updated NSX Concept we saw at January's Detroit Auto Show, along with a diesel-powered CR-V.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
