Here it is! Our 2000 Honda Insight Hybrid car! We purchased this from the original owner, an older woman from Oklahoma about 2 years ago. Prior to our purchase, she had the transmission rebuilt, which as all you Insight fanatics know, is a bonus that has eliminated the grind when downshifting from third to second and from second to first. It also had a new battery put in in the last 3-5 years. The upholstery has also been redone. The former owner, as well as current owners…me) was very particular about this car, its upkeep and repair. It really shows! There are NO ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS on in the dash. Auto stop works correctly. Radio works. A/C IS ICE COLD!!! The battery charges and discharges well. Has a good boost. It is a 5 speed which gives better mileage (in my opinion) than the automatic. The lifetime is 54.9. My wife drove this for the last two years and gets mid 40's. She also loves the A/C, and driving quickly shall we say? On my way home from Oklahoma when I bought this, I was getting 72 mpg!!! This is our third Insight and I took great pride in trying to squeeze out every mile I could. These cars are very mpg sensitive, as you know, depending on use of a/c, wind, temperature, speed, additional passengers and extra weight in the hatchback area.

Here are some things you will want to know. Car will need new tires. Evenly worn, but down to the wear bars. Will need a new windshield. Has a crack in it which I showed in the pics. Only has one hatch lift and it is not quite enough to keep the hatch up. Needs another hatch lift. HEADLIGHTS ARE CLEAR because after the last buffing, the former owner put clear packing tape and they are still clear now.

These are desirable little cars and this one can be purchased at your price! This is a no reserve auction starting at one penny! Lasts only five days. If you have any questions, email me with your number and I can call you and we'l talk. I've been on ebay for 14 years and have sold several vehicles as well as other items with a 100% feedback. Thanks for looking out my listing and good luck in the auction.

2015 Honda Civic Type-R benchmarks the cream of the hot hatch crop

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Honda 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.

Honda fielding 11 entrants at Pikes Peak, including 532-hp Odyssey

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

Is it possible for a minivan to be more exciting than an Acura NSX? Well, Honda is trying to find out by entering a 532-horsepower Odyssey into the 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with IndyCar racer Simon Pagenaud behind the wheel.
Starting with a stock Odyssey, Honda dropped in a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 producing an estimated 532 hp and 460 pound-feet of torque as well as racing suspension, tires and brakes and one of the biggest roll cages you're likely to ever see. If this van looks familiar to you, you aren't alone - it's a veteran of the Tire Rack One Lap of America.
In addition to this super minivan, Honda will also be entering a first-gen NSX, CR-Z hybrid, Fit EV and Acura TL into the competition as well as five motorcycles and an all-terrain vehicle. Scroll down for the full details on Honda's comprehensive assault on Pikes Peak.

Analysts say Honda's growing woes in Europe not just the economy

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

There is no denying that the European auto market is taking its lumps right now - just ask Peugeot - but Honda might be taking this downturn on the chin a little harder than some of the other Japanese automakers doing business on the continent. Automotive News Europe is reporting that things have gotten so bad for Honda that it will be cutting 800 workers from Swindon, England plant that builds the CR-V, Civic and Jazz (a.k.a. Fit). This will be the first time Honda has made such cuts in more than 20 years.
Despite an increase in output last year over 2011 (165,607 units compared to 97,459), the Swindon plant is still running well below its full capacity (250,000/year), and its 66 percent capacity is less than the expected breakeven point of industry analysts (75 to 80 percent). Unlike in the US, however, Honda's new CR-V and Civic aren't selling well, and the similarly sized Nissan Qashqai is outselling the CR-V at a rate of more than five to one. Slow CR-V sales are blamed on a relatively high price and the crossover's conservative styling. On the complete opposite side of the spectrum, the report notes that Nissan continues to experience growth at its UK operations, leading analysts to suggest that Honda can't blame the sour economy for much of its woes.
