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.

Average transaction prices climb to a record $36,270 in January

Sat, Feb 3 2018

The automotive sector made a hash of the numbers last month, a mess of pluses and minuses clogging the transaction-price charts according to Kelley Blue Book. The overall industry rose one percent, even though buyers bought fewer cars and light vehicles in January 2018 vs 2017 using the selling-day adjusted rate. Due to January transaction prices rising to $36,270, a record for January, the value of new vehicles sold climbed more than $1 billion compared to January 2017. KBB's transaction prices don't include customer incentives, which changes the complexion slightly; average incentive spending rose to just over ten percent. The average transaction price in December 2017 was $36,756, so January dropped a bit - nothing unexpected, with the month annually blamed for "January doldrums." More revealing is the fact that the average transaction price in January 2017 was $34,910. This year's plumped-up figure came courtesy of the continued shift to crossovers, SUVs, and light trucks, which shouldn't surprise anyone who's read an automotive blog in the past 20 years. That category comprised nearly 70 percent of new vehicle sales for the month. Some manufacturers profited more than others, though. Fiat Chrysler managed 12.8 percent fewer sales in January compared year-on-year, but the company's vehicles sold for $1,300 more. The Ford brand suffered a 6.3-percent dip in sales, but brand transaction prices increased $2,000, while a Lincoln sold for $8,700 more on average. General Motors sold more cars and sold them for more money; overall GM transaction prices rose four percent, or $1,270, while a GMC traded hands for seven-percent more than in January 2017 and a Cadillac got $2,300 more on average. Of KBB's listed automakers, the Volkswagen Group got the most of out its customers, transaction prices rising at the German automaker by 5.6 percent to $42,243 in January 2018 compared to a year earlier. American Honda followed with a 4.3-percent increase to $28,991, GM in third at 4.1 percent to $40,313. Find your next car at Autoblog using our new and used car listings or the Car Finder tool. Broken out by segment, minivans rocked the table, transaction prices leaping by 7.9 percent to $35,380 compared to January a year earlier. Luxury cars boasted the next-highest rise, at 3.6 percent to $58,533.

Honda tunes HR-V, shows Baja Pilot pre-runner at SEMA

Wed, Nov 4 2015

Honda has a lot more at the SEMA Show than just it's tough looking, Baja-prepped Ridgeline, but the automaker isn't really saying a whole lot about them. Even though the company has a massive gallery of photos showing off these aftermarket creations, Honda has kept details about their mods quite sparse. While the Ridgeline Baja Race Truck guns for the checkered flag, the Pilot Baja Chase Vehicle is going along for the ride in case any assistance is necessary. The crossover wears a similar Honda Racing livery as its turbocharged sibling, and the company outfits the machine with an LED bar, bumper guards, and off-road tires to get through the desert. Honda also wants buyers to know that there's tuning potential from their new HR-V. To show what's possible from the little crossover, tuners like Bisimoto Engineering, MAD Industries, Tjin Edition and Fox Marketing have some wild creations on display. The weirdest of the bunch definitely is the bizarre pink example above. The little CUV tries to look tough with a wide-body kit, new front bumper, big side sills, and a lowered suspension over metallic gold wheels. Other takes on the model make it ready for the track or to haul Honda's Grom motorcycle. Finally, the 2016 Pilot Elite Concept "Black Edition" wears production and concept components from Honda Genuine Accessories. Darkened parts for the wheels, grille, and trim give the crossover a handsome, monochromatic aesthetic. You can check out the whole SEMA cavalcade in the gallery above. Vehicles on Display in the Honda Booth at the 2015 SEMA Show Nov 3, 2015 - LAS VEGAS In additional to the Ridgeline Baja Race Truck announced today, Honda also showcased accessorized and customized versions of multiple new Honda models, including: Pilot Baja Chase Vehicle – a specially tuned 2016 Honda Pilot, in desert racing livery, which will operate as a support vehicle in Honda's SCORE Baja 1000 campaign. Pioneer 1000 – Honda's newest and most powerful side-by-side offering, also in custom desert raving livery, will accompany the Pilot Baja Chase Vehicle on the Baja peninsula to assist in the racing effort. 2016 Honda CR-Z hybrid sports coupe – making its North American debut and boasting new styling, upgraded equipment and features and a new EX-L Navi trim. 2016 Honda HR-V -- four custom-designed HR-Vs from top U.S.

Honda Accord, Civic are America's most stolen cars

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

The National Insurance Crime Bureau has released its latest Hot Wheels study on the most popular stolen cars and trucks for 2012. The study has changed a bit from past years, with the new findings listing only the make and model of each vehicle, while taking into account all model years in its totals. Previous iterations only focused on the most stolen vehicles of a particular model year, with that make and model not appearing anywhere else on the list so as not to appear to call out a particular car. Confusing, eh? Said another way, in previous studies, if the three most stolen vehicles were the 2006, 2007 and 2008 Belchfire Turbo from Fictitious Motors, only the model year with the highest number of thefts would make the list.
The new study takes all model years into consideration while breaking down the number of vehicles stolen per model year in a full, in-depth report. Separately, the NICB is also listing the top 25 new vehicles stolen in 2012. That list is limited exclusively to model year 2012 entries.
Honda took the top two spots in the most stolen vehicles list, with 58,596 Accord models stolen and 47,037 Civic models stolen. The study is interesting, though, in that the most recent model year for the Accord is 1997, while the most recent the Civic is 2000. In fact, Hondas from 1990 to 2000 make up 16 of the top 20 cars stolen in 2012, according to the NICB. Compare that with the MY2012 list, where Honda's vehicles are eleventh and fifteenth, and it looks like the Japanese brand has been beefing up its theft control.
