If you want the lowest original mile, true survivor, citrus-colored 5-speed insight available in the country, read on!  I have owned many, many First Gen Honda Insights over the last 6 years or so.  I am not a dealer.  I am an obsessed insight fanatic (private owner.)  The citrus colored insights were only made in the first model year (2000.)  The number produced was very low (estimates of 300 total.)  A true collector car.  The car is from Florida, and has only 88k original miles on it.  The body is not flawless, but it is nice, as seen in my pictures!  Every body panel has the correct VIN tag on it (both front fenders, hood, both doors, both quarter panels, rear hatch, front and back bumper covers.)  So no panels have ever been replaced.  The car has never been in any kind of major accident, or this would be appearent with replacement panels lacking the correct vin numbers.  This is further evidenced by it's clean carfax report.  The usual trim items that get sun baked are not (rear wing, steering wheel, headlights, exterior moldings, emblems, decals, etc, etc.)  Interior-wise, again, the car is real nice.  The seats are great and not worn through (in fact they show very little wear at all,) the steering wheel, dash, headliner, door panels, trunk carpeting, etc have no stains at all, and are all perfect.  I totally steam cleaned the car's interior, as I do all my insights, but it hardly needed it.)  All the rubber is perfect, (around the doors, rear hatch, hood, etc.  It has the correct size 165/65/14 tires (Like brand new Michelin Green X, low rolling resistance tires, with 100% tread.)  I just had these mounted and spun balanced, so you'll be good to go for the next 80k miles.   The car runs, drives, and shifts very well.  It does not leak or burn any fluids at all, and is a super smooth rider.  I also put brand new brake rotors and ceramic pads on the car, so the brakes are brand new too.  You shouldn't have to touch them for another 80-100k miles.  I've wired the car for my digital grid charger (again, as I do all my insights,) and cycle the pack regularly (considering the car is stored in my heated garage and not being driven.)  For those not in the know, grid charging the pack peaks and equalizes the cells within the pack.  This is extremely good for the battery, and prolongs it's life and health greatly.  To the buyer, I will offer a brand new grid charger for half the price I normally sell them for (my cost to build, basically.)  To read more about my grid chargers, see my ebay item # 301002355166.   The car has all the manuals, key and remote, too.  Transmission-wise, it shifts perfectly with no synchro grind or bearing noise issues whatsoever.  The clutch and slave cylinder are pefect too.  I also just did the full oil and filter change with the correct Mobil1 0w-20 oil, and the transmission fluid change, as well. Accessory-wise, everything works exactly as it should; heater, blower fan, power windows and switches, power locks and switches, turn signals, every bulb inside and out, all the dash including the trip meter, horn, turn signals, stock Honda am/fm/cassette stereo, (rare 4 speaker option, with great sound,) rear trunk release actuator, rear trunk lock, hatch struts, wipers, trip meter, squirters, etc, etc.  This car is THE nicest citrus you'll find for sale in the country.  All underbody panels are in place and nice, too.  All jack equipment and spare tire are in place and nice.  I have the clean and clear transferrable title, with no liens, in my name.  I have done a ton of work to this car to get it exactly where it should be, and as you see it now.  I do all my own work (over 30 years of automotive schooling and experience,) and do not scrimp, always using correct factory Honda parts, right down to the last correct screw.  NO surprises with this car!  So, if you want the best citrus for your money, look no further.  Can you buy an insight cheaper?  Yup.  Maybe you can even find a high mile citrus.  But what you save in initial costs, you'll put back into the car fixing the stuff it needs, both mechanically and cosmetically!  This is where the old saying, "You get what you pay for" holds quite true!  Just look at the pics....Any questions; call me directly at 716-946-6070.

Thanks for your time and consideration!

Respectfully,

Chris in Gasport, N.Y. (14067)

PS: I also have 1 other first gen 2000 silver 5-speed Insight I'll be selling as well, if this one does not suit your exact wants.  It is a true, documented 49k mile car from Massechusetts.  Feel free to call!

I build and offer other extremely useful mods for these 2000-06 first gen Honda Insights cars, as well.  Some of which include:

Clutch Interrupt Circuit (see ebay item # 290990607482.)

Brake Regen Circuit (see ebay item # 291048200804.)

Brand New OEM Honda Insight Citrus & Grey Seat Covers (see ebay item # 300932249369.)

Stainless Steel Dead Pedal / Footrest) (see ebay item # 291039568254.)

Honda Insight Spun Aluminum Moon Disc Set (see ebay item # 300951306290.)

And soon to come; another round of Throttle Smoothing Circuits! 

Thanks again!

Chris

Honda rolls out new Step WGN in Japan

Mon, Apr 27 2015

First introduced back in 1996, the Honda Step WGN (originally styled as Stepwgn) is now entering its fifth generation of hauling families around the Pacific island nation, and packs a number of innovations into its tall and boxy form. For starters, this latest minivan does away with the conventional 2.4-liter engine from its predecessor and replaces it with a new 1.5-liter turbocharged VTEC, driving either the front wheels or all four through a continuously variable transmission. More innovative though is the "Waku Waku Gate," borrowing its name for the Japanese term for "exciting." We're not sure we'd go that far, but it is intriguing: the tailgate can either be opened fully for maximum aperture, or partially split and opened to the side for tighter spots. That ought to make ingress and egress from the seven-passenger cabin that much easier, but once inside it promises to be a more pleasant place as well thanks to Scandinavian-inspired design. It also packs the latest safety features, including pedestrian detection, to keep everyone safer and make the new Step WGN more appealing to Japanese families. Honda to Begin Sales of All-New Step WGN - Equipped with a newly-developed 1.5-liter direct injection VTEC TURBO engine - TOKYO, Japan, April 23, 2015 - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. will begin sales of the all-new Honda Step WGN on Friday, April 24, 2015, at dealerships across Japan. Equipped with a newly-developed 1.5-liter direct injection VTEC TURBO engine, this fifth-generation Step WGN was designed to be a fun-to-use minivan that features a functional cabin space much like a living room at home, as well as a revolutionary tailgate mechanism named Waku Waku Gate ("Waku Waku" is a Japanese expression for "exciting"). Honda's first 1.5-liter VTEC TURBO engine realizes not only powerful and smooth acceleration with its torque equivalent to that of a 2.4-liter engine but also excellent fuel economy and quietness, achieving the type of leisurely drive people expect from a minivan even with multiple passengers and on hilly roads. Moreover, the all-new Step WGN realizes top-in-class level*1 fuel economy of 17.0km/liter (JC08 mode*2). Furthermore, the all-new Step WGN features the largest cabin space in the class*3 as well as the Waku Waku Gate*4, Honda's original design that functions as a wide tailgate that opens up or as with a sub-door that opens to the side.

Question of the Day: Ever consider driving a minivan?

Thu, May 12 2016

Since I'm supposed to know something about cars, it happens all the time: friends and relatives ask me advice about what kind of vehicle they should get. Very often, the only type of vehicle that can check every item on their wish list (e.g., hauls lots of people and stuff, gets good fuel economy, has great crash-test ratings, can take four Great Danes camping, and so on) is a modern minivan... and, of course, nobody wants to hear this. I'm not a minivan person, they will wail, and so they end up with a cramped, fuel-swilling SUV or a not-so-space-efficient minivan-in-disguise CUV. So, is it worth becoming one of those minivan people in order to get the incredible usefulness of these masterpieces of vehicle engineering, or do you hold your head high and drive something that doesn't quite meet your needs?

Honda delays JDM Legend over quality concerns

Tue, Dec 30 2014

Honda has been having some quality issues lately, to say the least. Most of those have revolved around the airbags supplied by Takata, but not exclusively. The new Fit Hybrid, for example, has been subject to five consecutive recalls in the year since it launched. And now the Japanese automaker is reportedly delaying the launch of its new Legend sedan. The Legend, for those unfamiliar, is what Honda calls the Acura RLX in the Japanese Domestic Market – a model that has been subject to a handful of recalls in the United States, affecting components ranging from headlights to seatbelts to suspension bolts. Such quality control issues have prompted Honda to delay the introduction of its flagship sedan in its home market, pushing its arrival in Japanese showrooms back from the fall (when the model was revealed) initially to January 22 and now to February 20, according to the report from Bloomberg. The extra time is earmarked the give Honda engineers the opportunity to look into potential problems with the vehicle's radar safety system and its advanced hybrid powertrain, before introducing it to the local market. Hopefully further recalls can be avoided once deliveries have commenced.
