2002 Honda Insight 1 Owner Socal Car, Ima Battery Replaced Less Than 20k Ago on 2040-cars
Monrovia, California, United States
|
We are listing our very
clean 2002 Honda Insight (First Generation) that has approximately 71,930 miles
(see odometer picture). The body panels are very straight with some
rock/debris chips, which is visible to the eye upon close inspection.
This Insight has never been in an accident or had any touch-up done to the
original factory finish. We are the original owners, purchased new in 2002 in
Monrovia CA. The only major work done to the car since new was to have the IMA
battery replaced by Honda, last done on 9-28-2010, when the car had 52,693
miles. The same Honda dealer we purchased the car from has performed all
regular oil changes and service checks.
The car is a joy to drive
and as you can see in the pictures has averaged 45.1 MPG for the life of the
car. We are confident this number would be higher if we did not live at the
base of the foothills. At times we have seen average trip MPG calculations in
the high 60’s.
A Kenwood stereo replaces
the original radio so you can connect your iPhone or iPod to the car. The original factory radio is also included
with the car.
All systems work,
including the factory A/C that will keep the occupants cool on the hottest day.
As you can see in the pictures the underside of the car is very clean thanks to
the warm and dry climate the car has spent its entire existence in. Even the
exhaust system is rust free and looks and performs like new despite being 12
years old now. The spare tire has never been used.
The car is being sold
as-is, where-is - the car is located in Southern California and buyer will
assume all responsibility for pick-up and shipping. We can assist you in
your efforts to have it shipped anywhere in the Continental US. Payment
criteria is a $500.00 deposit upon winning the auction (within 2 days) via
PayPal with the balance to be paid by certified bank check within 7 days
following the deposit. ??Thanks for your interest and please ask if you have
any questions. ??

Honda exec says US market near capacity, could hurt subprime buyers
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Is there a point in the US auto industry where companies should start considering the welfare of their customers ahead of selling more cars? American Honda Executive Vice President of Sales John Mendel thinks that level exists, and we may be getting very close to it.
According to Automotive News, Mendel believes that finding more customers in the market could require pursuing subprime buyers and offering longer-term loans. However, he refuses to use those tactics. While selling models this way can improve things briefly, the strategies hurt resale prices and lower vehicle profits over time. The company won't do "stupid things in the short-term that damage the person who bought yesterday," he said to Automotive News. "It's a very, very short-term tactic especially in the subprime area."
American Honda, which combines the Acura and Honda brands, has seen market share decline from 9.7 percent to 9.1 percent through July 2014, according to Automotive News, and Autoblog's By the Numbers stats showed it posted falling sales in five of the seven months with data this year. Though, Mendel claims that was partially because the company focused on retail sales over fleets. The delays of the launches for the Honda Fit and Acura TLX likely didn't help either.
Honda Civic losing ground to Toyota Corolla, sales crown threatened
Wed, Dec 17 2014Oh, what a difference a year has made. When the numbers were tallied for 2013, the Honda Civic was riding high by claiming its segment's sales crown in the US despite being challenged by the latest generation of the Toyota Corolla for part of the year. However, with just a month to go in the battle for C-segment supremacy in 2014, it looks like Toyota gets to hoist the trophy this time. Looking at November sales numbers, Honda moved 300,644 Civics through the first 11 months of the year, down 2.1 percent in volume. Furthermore, for the month alone, the company sold 23,060 Civics, a 12.3 percent drop. Meanwhile, on Toyota's side, business has been booming comparatively. Through the first 11 months it sold 309,373 Corollas, a 10.6 percent jump, and for November alone it moved 25,609 examples, a 14.2 percent improvement. With fewer than 10,000 cars between them, it would take quite a December slump for the Corolla to lose this fight. According to The Truth About Cars, the Civic actually started out the 2014 somewhat positively with 5 percent growth over the previous year, though still behind the Corolla's figures. However, the Honda has seen a slide since then with five consecutive months of sales drops. Meanwhile, the Toyota has generally kept showing growth. Being the newer model of the two, the Corolla comes to this fight with an advantage. Honda hasn't let the Civic languish; it gave the model a CVT in 2014 to boost fuel economy. That's nothing like the Toyota's thorough recent rethink, though. According to TTAC, Honda does have reason to crow about the Civic, just not necessarily in the US. The model is on track to be the bestselling vehicle in Canada for the 17th consecutive year and have its best sales since 2008 there.
NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
