2000 Citrus Honda Insight/ 88k Orig Miles/ Gorgeous/ Garage Kept/ Clean Carfax ! on 2040-cars
Gasport, New York, United States
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

Recharge Wrap-up: BYD unveils 60-ft electric bus, Honda sticking with hybrids in Europe
Thu, Oct 16 2014BYD has debuted a 60-foot electric bus at the American Public Transportation Association Expo in Houston, TX. The Lancaster bus, as it is called, has a 120-passenger capacity and can drive over 170 miles on a single charge. The articulated bus features low floors and no steps, thanks to in-wheel hub motors. BYD also displayed a 40-foot electric bus that drove the 1,500 miles to the show under its own power (recharging along the way, of course). Read more in the press release below. Honda says it will continue to sell hybrids in Europe, despite the fact that it has stopped selling the CR-Z and Insight due to slow sales. "Our focus at the moment is on our 1.6-liter diesel but we haven't forgotten about hybrid technology," says Honda Europe's Philip Ross. Honda will sell the next-generation Fit (badged as the Jazz) in Europe when it launches next summer, and will sell the next-gen hybrid version beginning in 2016. Honda sold 4,500 of the Jazz hybrid in Europe last year. Read more at Automotive News. XL Hybrids is selling its XL3 Hybrid Electric Drive System in California. The news comes after the California Air Resources Board issued an executive order allowing the aftermarket hybrid conversion for 2012-2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans. The XL3 Hybrid regenerative braking conversion increases real-world mpg by about 25 percent. Read more in the press release below. NRG eVgo has finished installing 60 charging stations at the Sony Pictures Entertainment studio lot and offices in Culver City, California. The Level 2 chargers, which will be managed by NRG eVgo, allow employees to charge their EVs during the workday. An average of 90 EVs and PHEVs park at the studio headquarters every day, thanks in part to Sony Pictures' Alternative Vehicles Incentive program for its employees. Learn more in the press release below. Pennsylvania's Public Utility Commission will allow operators of EV charging stations to set prices based on kilowatt hour usage. This change ensures that drivers pay for the actual energy they use, rather than the time they spend charging, since different cars can charge at different speeds. Car Charging Group has already begun using the per-kWh fee structure at its charging stations throughout the state. Other states that allow kWh pricing are California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Washington. Read more in the press release below.
Honda launches Project Drive-In to save these American icons
Mon, 12 Aug 2013Honda wasn't really a major player in the automotive industry when drive-in movie theaters were popular in the US, but the automaker is doing its best to preserve the place where automotive and cinema histories collide. Using Project Drive-In, Honda is helping bring awareness to a story we brought up last month, where we saw how a move away from 35-millimeter film could put some of the few drive-in theaters remaining in the US out of business.
As production studios switch to digital film, theaters are required to upgrade to digital projectors, which Honda says will cost about $80,000 for drive-ins. While Project Drive-In asks people to donate money to the cause or pledge to go to a drive-in theater, Honda will also be donating projectors to five of the remaining drive-ins based on votes received on its website. Scroll down to watch a short video describing Project Drive-In, and be sure to vote, pledge and even contribute to save the drive-ins.
2015 Honda Civic Type-R benchmarks the cream of the hot hatch crop
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Honda has something wicked up its sleeve, based on the latest batch of spy photos we've received. This is purportedly the next Honda Civic Type-R, out testing in Germany and on the Nürburgring. The last generation of the Type-R went out of production in Europe in 2010, and while we admired it from afar, it's 2.0-liter, four-cylinder produced similar figures to the American-market Honda Civic Si.
From the looks of both it and the cars Honda engineers are benchmarking, the next Type-R will be much more powerful. In the spy photos, we can see four meaty exhaust pipes along with what is quite clearly an intercooler hiding behind the rear bumper. That's right, the next Type-R will be turbocharged. It'll need to be, though, if it's meant to tackle cars like the Opel Astra OPC, Ford Focus RS500 and Renault Megane RS Trophy (not pictured, but there according to our spies).
300 horsepower from a 2.0-liter engine should be on offer, and would match the competition quite well. Other obvious tweaks from the ho-hum five-door Civic are mainly aerodynamic. It sports an aggressive body kit with a meaty chin spoiler, rocker panels and a big rear wing. Red Brembo brake calipers can also be seen behind the sporty wheels and low-profile tires.
