2000 Honda Insight Hybrid 5 Speed Manual on 2040-cars
Seward, Alaska, United States
|
You are looking at a 2000 Honda Insight Hybrid in excellent mechanical
condition. I purchased this vehicle in August of 2012 with 145,000
miles. The original owner drove it until 2011 and kept all maintenance
records since it was brand new. I purchased this vehicle from my dad
who typically owns two or three of these at a time; he was the second
owner. He had a new clutch put in during the short time that he owned
it. Throughout the two years that I've owned it, the only repair I've
had done is a brand new radiator, which was installed about six months
ago. I have also kept all maintenance records since I started driving
it.
I have absolutely no complaints about this vehicle. I did not intend to keep it as long as I did. But it was hard to get rid of a vehicle that gets 50 to 65 MPG. The worst city mileage I've gotten is 45. That was because I was using studded winter tires at the time. The best highway mileage I've gotten is 73 while using low rolling resistance tires. The mileage shown next to the odometer (53.3), is the lifetime mileage since the vehicle was brand new. Another unique thing about this car is its aluminum body panels. Overall, the vehicle is in good condition inside and out. The exterior shows typical wear for a vehicle of its age. The only major cosmetic issue is the weather stripping on the driver's side door. This only seems to be happening on the driver's side; the passenger side shows no evidence of wear at all. There are no rips or tears in the fabric. The interior dash and door panels are in great shape as well. Now that I am living in Alaska, I have decided to upgrade to a 4-wheel drive vehicle. I've considered keeping this as a summer vehicle, but I would prefer not to pay for insurance and maintenance on two vehicles. If you do not know much about these cars or hybrids in general, I would encourage you to do a bit of research. A good resource to check out is insightcentral.net. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. 907-491-1557. Due to the fact that I do not have any transactions in my feedback history, I will not require a deposit. Thanks for looking.

I have never had any issues with the battery charging or holding its charge. And it always seems to provide enough additional horsepower to get around with ease. The only person I wouldn't recommend this vehicle to is someone who is continuously driving through the mountains. It tends to struggle going up steep hills but downshifting has always helped here. I've also noticed that the fuel economy is not as great while driving through mountains. -All four tires were installed 9,000 miles ago. ***If you win the auction and decide you do not want the vehicle after seeing it in person and driving it, I will NOT require you to go through with the purchase. No negative feedback will be left. I will either relist it or offer it to the next highest bidder.*** |

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
Honda to present HR-V, updated Acura ILX at LA show
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Honda has already showcased its new Fit-based crossover around the world. We've seen it in Tokyo wearing the Vezel name and we've seen it in Paris in 'prototype' form. We've even seen photos of the US-spec version. We just haven't seen that North American model in the flesh, but that'll all be fixed next month at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
That's where Honda will, at long last, unveil the US version of its new HR-V subcompact. The Japanese automaker hasn't told us much else, save to say that the HR-V will, of course, slot in below the CR-V in US showrooms. It'll also feature the company's lauded Magic Seat system, "which allows for multiple seating configurations and the ability to fold the second row seat completely flat for added cargo space."
Alongside the HR-V, Honda's luxury division will also be showcasing a revised version of its ILX sedan at the LA show as well. Acura hasn't revealed precise details of what revisions are in store for its smallest sedan - or a more detailed photo than the teaser inset at right - but it is promising "a comprehensive update that include a potent new powertrain, more forceful, sporty exterior styling and a substantially upgraded interior design."
Honda announces 2015 Pilot Special Edition
Tue, 03 Jun 2014Honda doesn't have any exciting new mechanical or aesthetic changes for the 2015 Pilot eight-passenger crossover, but it is adding a new trim level to give families a compromise between the EX and EX-L models.
The new Special Edition trim is available on either the front-wheel or all-wheel drive versions of the Pilot, and it adds Pewter Gray aluminum wheels, a power moonroof, a rear seat entertainment DVD system and Sirius XM radio. Prices come to $33,950 for the two-wheel drive version, after the $830 destination charge, or $35,550 for all-wheel drive after destination.
Prices for the rest of the trims are up $200 over last year, and they all still come standard with remote entry, a rearview camera and Class III trailer hitch. Power is still provided by a 3.5-liter V6 with 250 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque with a five-speed automatic. Fuel economy is unchanged as expected with front-wheel drive models rated at 18 miles per gallon city, 25 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined, and four-wheel drive models make 1 mpg less at 17 mpg city, 24 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined.
