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.

Honda launches Project Drive-In to save these American icons

Mon, 12 Aug 2013

Honda wasn't really a major player in the automotive industry when drive-in movie theaters were popular in the US, but the automaker is doing its best to preserve the place where automotive and cinema histories collide. Using Project Drive-In, Honda is helping bring awareness to a story we brought up last month, where we saw how a move away from 35-millimeter film could put some of the few drive-in theaters remaining in the US out of business.
As production studios switch to digital film, theaters are required to upgrade to digital projectors, which Honda says will cost about $80,000 for drive-ins. While Project Drive-In asks people to donate money to the cause or pledge to go to a drive-in theater, Honda will also be donating projectors to five of the remaining drive-ins based on votes received on its website. Scroll down to watch a short video describing Project Drive-In, and be sure to vote, pledge and even contribute to save the drive-ins.

Honda Tourer BTCC car lavished with photographic love

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Back in December, Honda Yuasa Racing gave us one image of the Civic Tourer entrant it's fielding in the 2014 British Touring Car Championship. Thanks to media days at Brands Hatch and a few photos from Oulton Park, we've got a whole photo album of the elongated Civic that will attempt to continue Honda's BTCC winning ways and shots of drivers Gordon Shedden and Matt Neal.
This is the first wagon to race in the BTCC since 1994, when Jan Lammers and Rickard Rydel had just one year to throw the Volvo 850 Estate BTCC between the kerbing. The following year, the rules were changed so that rear wings couldn't extend above the roofline or beyond the rear bumper, which meant the end of Volvo's blue and white "pizza delivery wagon."
The season begins on March 30 at Brands Hatch, when Shedden and Neal will begin trying to wrest the driver's championship crown from Pirtek Racing. We don't know anything more about the manufacturer entry go-fast Civic Tourer, however, which means this is just an easy feast for the eyes. Because racing wagon.
