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's next-gen fuel cell concept will debut in LA, along with more Civic updates
Mon, 11 Nov 2013Honda is bringing a new concept to the this month's Los Angeles Auto Show called the FCEV Concept. "FCEV" stands for something, and no, it's not "funky chicken earns victory" or other such nonsense - it's short for fuel-cell electric vehicle, a market that Honda has played in, most recently, with its hydrogen-powered FCX Clarity.
The FCEV is nothing more than a styling exercise (click above to enlarge the sketch) for an eventual production fuel-cell vehicle set to hit US and Japanese dealers in 2015 (sorry Europe, you're stuck waiting). It's not heading to LA to tell us anything about the wider application of the technology used in the FCX Clarity, so fans of hydrogen power shouldn't get too excited. Still, the news that Honda is still pondering a wider-spread for its fuel-cell technology is quite exciting.
"The Honda FCEV Concept demonstrates the company's vision for the future of personal mobility and our commitment to developing advanced alternative fuel vehicles. As we work toward the introduction of our next-generation fuel-cell vehicle in 2015, our long-term experience with fuel-cell technologies will help us pave a way towards a zero-emissions future," said Mike Accavitti, senior vice president of American Honda.
NHTSA investigating 343,000 Honda Odyssey minivans
Sat, 06 Jul 2013The recall bug could strike Honda again as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened another investigation concerning the Odyssey minivan. Honda has already recalled 59,000 Odysseys from the 2012 and 2013 model years due to a shift interlock issue, and another 320,000 of the minivans from 2003-04 are being investigated for faulty airbags. Now, TheDetroitBureau.com is reporting that NHTSA is taking a look at the 2007-08 Odyssey for a problem associated with the brakes.
This investigation reportedly includes 343,000 Odysseys that could be suffering from an unexpected application of the brakes. According to the article, at least 22 people have reported such an issue, and in five cases, dealers found a trouble code associated with the steering angle sensor - part of the anti-lock brake and stability control systems. There is still no indication as to whether or not this will become a recall, but Honda has already recalled more than 1.8 million units this year.
Honda readying Veloster-rivaling concept for Beijing?
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Maybe the rumors of the CR-Z's death have been exaggerated. Honda has just released the first teaser of a new concept that it plans to debut at the Beijing Motor Show at the end of April. It shows off a sporty looking coupe that looks like the child of a CR-Z and Hyundai Veloster. However, the concept looks to be for the Chinese market, as it's a joint proposal with one of its domestic partners there, Guangqi Honda Automobile.
Unfortunately, we don't have any other details about the concept yet - not even a name. The teaser also doesn't give a very good indication of the car's size. It appears to be roughly the size of a small coupe, and if Honda hadn't already tried the idea with the CR-Z, you could almost see it as a modern CRX, but it could be a little bit larger, too.
In addition to the coupe concept at the Beijing show, Dongfeng Honda will premiere the concept for the next Spirior, which is the foreign version of the Accord. Guangqi Honda will also bring a mid-size SUV and the third-generation Fit. Acura will also be there and will have both the NSX Concept and a model of its powertrain.
