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 Concept B Hybrid production version coming to China in 2016

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

At the Beijing Motor Show this weekend, Honda took the wraps off of the Concept B Hybrid, a "new-value concept" that will apparently do its level best to get the Japanese automaker back into the entry-level gas-electric game. Powertrain details for the five-door concept hatch are noticeably absent, so we are assuming that what Honda wants with this concept is for us to focus on the looks. Honda says the car's exterior design is "advanced and cool-looking." We like the shape, but think a few changes will do wonders for the production model.
If the busy front end gets turned down a bit in production (it's especially glaring from the front), we can see this becoming a darn good replacement for the Insight at the lower end of the hybrid price spectrum. Sadly, for now, Honda is saying that the mass-production model that uses the Concept B as a foundation will be available "exclusively" on the Chinese market in two years.
Speaking at the Beijing show, Honda president and CEO Takanobu Ito continued to look for ways to green his company's line-up, and said Honda, "will strive to become number one in complying with Chinese CAFE regulations, which are the toughest in the world, and offer a new lifestyle for Chinese customers." Come 2016, that new lifestyle could look like the car you see in the gallery above. Think it's a good one?

Honda, SolarCity expand sun-powered partnership with new $50 million fund

Wed, Oct 8 2014

It must be solar-power announcement time. The DOE is ready to throw $25 million at concentrating solar power and New York State just announced $94 million for solar projects. At the broadly green-minded South By Southwest Eco festival in Austin, TX this week, Honda announced an expansion of its work with SolarCity to include a new fund that could finance up to $50 million in solar projects for dealerships and homes. Well, the homes of people who have purchased a Honda or Acura vehicle, at least. Stop us if this all sounds familiar. Honda and SolarCity announced back in early 2013 that they would work together on a $65-million fund to partially subsidize the installation of solar-panels at Honda dealers and on homes of Honda and Acura drivers. The new $50 million will be used to pay for not only the equipment but also the installation, which means that if you can get access to the money, you're looking at a pretty sweet 20-year lease deal to get solar energy for your home and could make it a bit more like the Honda Smart Home in Davis, CA (pictured). How sweet a deal? Well, there's zero down payment required and a 3-kW system starts could cost you just $25 a month, according to the fine print. Rates will vary, for sure, but if that sounds like something you're interested in, check out the Honda SolarCity site. The new fund builds on the previous work that, the two companies say, created enough solar capacity to offset "more than 400 million pounds of CO2 over a 30-year lifecycle." There's more in the press release below. SolarCity and Honda Announce $50 Million Commitment to Provide Solar Power to Honda and Acura Customers and Dealerships SAN MATEO and TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 8, 2014 – Today, at the SXSW Eco conference in Austin, TX, SolarCity® (Nasdaq: SCTY) and Honda have renewed their partnership with a new fund expected to finance $50 million in solar projects. The new commitment will make solar power more affordable and available to Honda and Acura customers and dealerships in the U.S. The companies have completed or initiated a range of solar projects for homeowners, dealerships and corporate facilities that total more than 12.5 MW of solar generation capacity. The two companies have already brought enough solar capacity online to offset more than 400 million pounds of CO2 over a 30-year lifecycle . The $50 million fund is a follow-up to a $65 million fund the companies created in 2013.

NHTSA investigating 343,000 Honda Odyssey minivans

Sat, 06 Jul 2013

The recall bug could strike Honda again as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened another investigation concerning the Odyssey minivan. Honda has already recalled 59,000 Odysseys from the 2012 and 2013 model years due to a shift interlock issue, and another 320,000 of the minivans from 2003-04 are being investigated for faulty airbags. Now, TheDetroitBureau.com is reporting that NHTSA is taking a look at the 2007-08 Odyssey for a problem associated with the brakes.
This investigation reportedly includes 343,000 Odysseys that could be suffering from an unexpected application of the brakes. According to the article, at least 22 people have reported such an issue, and in five cases, dealers found a trouble code associated with the steering angle sensor - part of the anti-lock brake and stability control systems. There is still no indication as to whether or not this will become a recall, but Honda has already recalled more than 1.8 million units this year.
