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 'Hands' ad is a worthy successor to 'Cog'
Mon, 08 Jul 2013The 2003 Cog commercial from Honda may have been named one of the best car commercials of all time, but an all-new spot called Hands looks to be even more entertaining even if it's digitally enhanced. The two-minute video - which starts and ends with a nod to Cog - highlights just about all facets of Honda's universe of products from passenger cars to racecars, the HondaJet to leaf blowers, motorcycles, ATVs and even Asimo.
Celebrating 65 years of innovation, the advertisement is as informative as it is amusing, and it even injects a little humor, too, like a glass of water being squeezed from the FCX Clarity. We just hope that the 1:10 mark of the video isn't hinting at a CR-V Convertible. We're not sure when Hands will air or if we'll see it on television here in the US, but the video is posted below; as an added bonus, we've also included the video for Cog.
2015 Honda CR-V
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Predicting the future direction of Honda's compact CR-V would have been difficult based on the Civic-derived model that first arrived on our shores for the 1997 model year. The newcomer, selling alongside the body-on-frame Passport (a hastily rebadged Isuzu Rodeo), was a cute compact crossover with four doors and an awkward curb-side hinged tailgate thanks to its Japanese home-market design. The five-passenger CUV offered generous interior room, but its wheezy 2.0-liter four-cylinder, with an output of just 126 horsepower and 133 pound-feet of torque, required 11.7 seconds to bring the 3,153-pound vehicle to 60 miles per hour. Rear drum brakes didn't help much in the stopping department, but Honda offered safety-minded consumers optional anti-lock brakes on the premium trim.
Nearly two decades after its introduction, the CR-V has matured in spectacular manner. The refreshed 2015 Honda CR-V, now in its fourth generation, is dimensionally within two inches of its ancestor in overall length and nearly identical in height and wheelbase. That consistency of dimension is impressive in this age of size and segment creep, and it stands as a testament to how 'right' Honda engineers got the model's original packaging. Of course, the CR-V hasn't stood still - nearly everything else about the best-selling compact CUV has improved in leaps and bounds.
But Honda is not the only player in this hotly contested segment today, so the automaker has taken the unusual step of updating its fourth-generation model just a few years after its introduction in an effort to keep it seated on the podium. To learn more about the automaker's improvements, and form our own impressions, we spent a day driving the CR-V in sunny Southern California.
