2002 Honda Insight 1 Owner Socal Car, Ima Battery Replaced Less Than 20k Ago on 2040-cars

Year:2002 Mileage:71930
Location:

Monrovia, California, United States

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. ??

McLaren F1 team sets deadline for engine decision amid Renault speculation

Mon, Jul 31 2017

BUDAPEST - McLaren says the next five weeks will be the key to deciding which engine it will use next season, with speculation mounting that the former world champions could ditch Honda and switch to Renault. Chief operating officer Jonathan Neale told Reuters at the Hungarian Grand Prix that "everybody is talking to everybody," but time was running out. "We've got to land those decisions in the next four or five weeks," he said, speaking from a design perspective and because drivers like McLaren's Fernando Alonso were waiting to see what engines teams had before committing to new deals. "I think there is a solution out there for everybody and I hope it's one that will be able to retain Fernando in this team." McLaren scored their first double-points finish of the season in Budapest on Sunday with double world champion Alonso finishing sixth, a day after his 36th birthday, and Belgian Stoffel Vandoorne 10th. The nine points lifted McLaren off the bottom of the standings just before the August break and factory shutdown, a result that Neale compared to scoring a goal before halftime. Alonso's future is a key concern, with the Spaniard out of contract and saying McLaren needs to provide a competitive car to keep him. Honda's power unit has been beset with problems since the partnership started in 2015, the engine neither reliable nor competitive. Hungary, the slowest permanent circuit on the calendar, reduced those shortcomings, but the next two races in Belgium and Italy are two of the fastest, where engine horsepower is of critical importance. McLaren is Honda's sole team in Formula One. A proposed partnership with Sauber terminated last week with the Swiss team choosing to stay with Ferrari. A split from McLaren could force the Japanese manufacturer out of the sport, but Neale hinted at an alternative. "You'll have seen the media speculation that there's discussions with Toro Rosso," he said. Toro Rosso use Renault engines, but a switch to Honda — which could bring welcome funding to a team whose Red Bull parent has considered a sale in the past — would free the French units for McLaren. The Renault engine has won a race this season with Red Bull and could satisfy Alonso, who won both his titles with the French manufacturer. The other alternatives to Honda are Mercedes and Ferrari, but Neale recognized that putting a Ferrari engine in a McLaren, the Italian team's historic arch-rivals, was highly unlikely.

Honda customizing Vezel to headline Tokyo Auto Salon lineup

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

With the Tokyo Motor Show now behind it, the Japanese automotive industry is gearing up for the next big event. That'd be the Tokyo Auto Salon, Japan's equivalent to SEMA or Essen, set to take place at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba. Subaru has already announced what it has in store for the tuner expo, and now Honda has followed suit.
Most interesting of all the tuner concepts Honda has lined up are a pair of modified Vezel crossovers. The one pictured above is kitted out with parts from the Modulo catalog, while a second one is being prepared by Mugen (similar to the one recently leaked). Both look pretty sharp and hint at the possibilities in store for the Fit-based crossover that'll come to these shores with turbo power.
Honda is also displaying Modulo and Mugen versions of a number of other vehicles, including its N family of Kei cars, the new JDM Odyssey and the Fit. There's an N-WGN kitted out like a cookie delivery truck, an N-Box+ modified to look like an Element, a series of Ninja Turtles-inspired Grom motorbikes and an array of racing machinery. Check 'em all out in the gallery above and the press release below.

Fred Savage wants to narrate your home videos to practice for Honda gig

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

Honda is getting ready to launch a new advertising campaign with Fred Savage of The Wonder Years (and The Princess Bride) fame, and in order to get his voice in game shape, Savage is taking to social media to get prepared. More specifically, he's apparently interested in adding some voiceover to fun videos provided by fans of the Honda brand, and all you have to do to be considered is to get his attention on Twitter using the hashtag #HondaPromo.
We have no idea how Savage or the Honda PR team plans to choose which videos will be turned into narrated works of art, but we do think it's a pretty fun idea. So, if you happen to have a video that could use some narration, and you think Savage would provide the perfect pitch, hit him up. Oh, be sure to read the terms and conditions first.
