This 2000 Honda insight is looking for a new home, As I can not use it to its full potential any longer. I'm working from home. This insight has low miles and has had regularly maintenance like clock work. If your a commuter or someone that just loves to save money this is the car for you! This car makes the Toyota Prius a gas hog, as I can regularly get 65+ MPG on the freeway, usually with 55+ combined! I've gotten a few trips to avg 85 MPG. Please note this takes extreme concentration to NOT speed and use the cars natural momentum but it can be done. The cars lifetime avg is 54MPG. This car has had regular maintenance, the first owner took it to the same dealer to have all the work done, at university Honda in Davis, CA for nearly 10yrs. Under my care, I've performed the maintenance (I'm second owner). I've highlighted a little of that below:
- Clean Californian title!
- A/c is extra cold, and working great!
- 97,xxx miles

Please understand this is a 13 year old used car and it does have minor day to day scratches and dings. The only one that is notable is in the first picture on on the hood, from tree branch. This was professionally repaired but still noticeable. The car is not perfect but is in good condition for the age and millage. I'm trying to fairly represent the car. If you have any question feel free to ask. I do have many more pictures but E-bays picture rules will not accept more uploads.
Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to sell at any time. This is a used car being sold AS-IS, ask any questions you may have and I will answer them as honestly as I can.

Acura ILX headed for Civic-like early upgrades
Wed, 12 Dec 2012The not-yet-ready-for-primetime 2012 Honda Civic saw it quickly returned to sender for refurbishment, now the Acura ILX is headed in the same direction in its very first year. Automotive News reports that the small, Civic-based sedan from Honda's luxury brand isn't meeting sales expectations, with an annualized rate of 22,000 to 24,000 sales instead of the 30,000 the company is after. More telling is that the ILX "is being outsold by the Buick Verano, Volkswagen CC and Audi A4," and, except for two months since it launched, it has also been outdone by the Acura TSX it is meant to replace.
Part of the cause has been the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine: its 150 horsepower to motivate a sedan that can weigh up to 2,970 pounds doesn't offer the kind of performance or value experience that buyers in the segment respond to. Another big issue is that the top-level 2.4-liter engine is only offered with a six-speed manual even though most buyers of the highest trim don't really want to shift their own gears. Lastly, the ILX might not put enough space between it and its frugal underpinnings - our first drive review pegged it as "the world's nicest Honda Civic."
An automatic transmission is on the way for the 2.4-liter, but it isn't clear when. And while Honda admits that the 2.0-liter is underpowered and Automotive News says it's on the way out, the company hasn't yet said how that situation will be corrected.

Honda promises all-new Ridgeline within two years
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Despite an aging design and low sales, Honda has remained committed to its Ridgeline pickup truck. Now, in its first official confirmation of a next-gen Ridgeline, Honda has released a teaser sketch (click to enlarge) of the new truck and promised a debut within two years, as previously reported.
The sketch shows the direction that Honda is planning for its new truck, which appears to ditch the single-piece body in favor of a more conventional pickup truck design. Even with the new design, it's not clear if Honda will move away from the Ridgeline's car-based platform shared with the Odyssey, Pilot and Accord. Sales of the Ridgeline dipped to below 10,000 units in 2011 but have increased steadily over the last two years (including 29 percent so far in 2013) with slightly more than 16,000 units on the year.
As for the current Ridgeline, Honda will wind down production at the Lincoln, AL assembly plant sometime during the middle of next year. The press release for the announcement is posted below.
