2001 Honda Insight 5 Speed Hatchback Reliable With Grid Charger Installed on 2040-cars
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
|
A video and additional pictures are below the description. 2001 Honda Insight 241,xxx miles (the mileage has increased slightly due to continued driving) 5 speed 47-50 mpg Has some cosmetic issues. Prior Salvage Title *When the requirements to clear a salvage title in Minnesota have been met, the vehicle may be subject to branding, and may be branded "prior salvage." Runs fine, drives straight, heat works, battery charges fine. Engine/Transmission: I didn't have time to detail the engine bay, if I am able to before the end of the auction I will post up a new engine bay picture. Sounds like valves need to be adjusted. Transmission shifts fine up-shifting, if you downshift to 2nd or 1st it will grind. New belt. Engine uses timing chain so you dont really have to worry about that. Engine has a slight leak at the drain plug, I believe a new drain plug or some RTV gasket sealant applied to threads will stop it. Interior: Carpet needs a good cleaning. Driver side seat has a tear in the fabric. The seat covers are Dickies brand and are a pretty strong material. Dashboard has scratches, has a Velcro thing on the dash. Hatch area carpet is dirty, but the original optional netting covers it up fine. Some marks on the roof lining. All weather floor mats. Aftermarket radio (USB connection, Aux connection) Exterior: It has scratches throughout the body from normal wear. The roof had a guitar decal on it, when it was removed it left a mark (or residue). Roof has clear coat peeling. Upper right corner under the bumper has a tear in it, not even noticeable unless you look below the car. Some of the black trim is flaking off. Front tires are less than a year old and have great tread. Rear tires are fine but may need replacing in a year. Has tint on the side windows. Battery pack: Its in pretty good condition. Im not sure if its been replaced or not. To be safe I picked up a battery grid charger (trickle charges the battery to re-balance the battery cells). Cons worth noting: Check engine light comes on periodically (P0420), as in it will stay on for 3 days and itll disappear for a month. Very random and it can be ignored or I believe it to be a faulty ECM as that was a common issue with these models. Driver side when you roll it down and roll it up it will lean towards the front. What I've been doing is simply grabbing the front of the window and guiding it when it goes up. Maintenance light is stuck on. This is due to a faulty button. There is someone providing a free fix on InsightCentral. Salvage Title: The impact appears to have been in the rear right quarter panel, but it looks fine. When I was purchasing the car I inspected everywhere besides pulling panels off. When I was installing the grid charger I had to pull the panels off. I could see where some of the fixes were done in that area. Didn't not look like a major damage. Body lines all appear great and the car itself drives straight down the road. Overall: I had intended on keeping this car for a few more years but my wife and I are moving to Japan in January so this has to go. Not a whole lot to the car. Its a basic car that has treated me good. After winning the auction: Has to be picked up in person. I can pick buyer up from the MSP airport, Minneapolis train station, or a Minneapolis bus (Greyhound/Mega Bus) station. If buyer is located within 8 hours from me I could deliver/meet for a fee ($50 first hour, and $25 every hour after) plus fuel cost of the Insight and my wife's car (for there and back). Full payment+estimated fuel cost/fee needs to be made for anything over an hour prior to delivery. Buyer is expected to make a non-refundable deposit of $100.00 using Paypal. This is just to let me know you are serious about picking it up. I can hold the car for 1 week extra. If I need to hold it past a week then I will require full payment otherwise it will be re-listed. Here is a video of the car: Sorry for the dirty engine bay. Deterioration on the steering wheel. Marks on the dashboard. Marks on the roof liner. This is showing the AutoStop working properly. This is showing how the window leans forward when rolling all the way down. |

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
Honda reveals XR-V crossover in Chengdu
Thu, 04 Sep 2014Global automakers have been moving largely towards global products, but that doesn't mean it can't tweak them for local tastes. Take Honda, for example, and its new compact crossover. Unveiled late last year as the Vezel, the crossover is expected to arrive in Europe and North America as the HR-V. But in China, it's being called the XR-V and adopts the form you see here.
Presented by Dongfeng Honda at the Chengdu Motor Show, the new XR-V is based closely on the Vezel but adopts some unique bodywork for a more rugged look. The front end gets a more SUV-like grille and bumper, while the side flanks are less swoopy but with more muscular wheel arches. The result may not be as bonkers as the Mugen version that debut at the Tokyo Auto Salon tuner show, but reminds us more of the similarly named and ruggedized Subaru XV Crosstrek.
Though technically billed as a concept, the Chinese-market XR-V looks just about ready for production as it is. Both 1.5- and 1.8-liter engines are specified, and while there may not be a wealth of other details available, you can read what there is in the press release (presented in original and translated forms) below.
NHTSA investigating 343,000 Honda Odyssey minivans
Sat, 06 Jul 2013The 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.
