Very minimal normal nicks on paint consistent with a well cared for 13 year old car. No serious body scratches or damage. Original paint is excellent and not faded. Ice cold a\c."

VERY nice low mileage "first generation" Insight. I purchased it in November of 2011, and it had around 59000 miles on it. I looked high and low for a low mileage, original Insight, and most had 150,000 and more miles on them. This one was and still is, in almost mint condition. I have done the normal routine maintenance, and I actually have records to prove it. I always keep my cars running in top condition, and I also always keep meticulous records and receipts to document the vehicle maintenance history to a buyer. This car needs nothing. 


The battery pack was replaced under warranty at around 34000 miles in June of 2010. For those of you who don't know about these cars, there are after market battery packs available which are less expensive and superior to the factory original, so if in the future you need a new battery pack, it will be available at a reasonable cost. However, the battery light does not come on, and there is no indication that there are any problems with the pack or the charging system.  Since I have purchased the vehicle, I have of course changed oil with proper synthetic oil and  flushed and refilled the radiator,  Although they really didn't need replacing as a preventative measure I had the serpentine belt, air filter, rear wiper blade, upper and lower radiator hoses, front brake pads and rotors replaced. I also had the cabin air filter replaced, which as it turns out, was the first time it was ever replaced. I have receipts to document everything. 

I installed a very nice Sony stereo. It has blue tooth, USB, MP3, HD radio and a sub woofer. It is also wired for Sirrius XM, which can be activated anytime by the buyer.. All of the sound components work flawlessness.  

The car rides solid, and there are no serious rattles or odd sounds. It comes with original factory Insight floor mats, although they are showing normal wear for being 13 years old. Overall the interior can be described as almost perfect, if not perfect.  Both seats are covered with deluxe, thick, custom real sheepskin seat covers which cost me $300 each (not pictured, but I have the receipt and I can provide pictures).  The skins are thick, comfy and flawless. Some slight stain on the driver side interior door panel from a careless mechanic opening the door with dirty fingers.  Very minor, but I thought I'd mention it. All controls, switches and lights work perfectly. All functions of the digital dash work perfectly. All headlights and tail lights work perfectly.  The exterior paint is not faded and looks almost new. I don't know exactly how much tread is left on the tires, but I suspect a good 20,000 miles maybe a little less? 

The "auto stop" feature works as it should, and the car runs great. Original spare tire and jack are included and in perfect condition.  It's fairly hard to find low mileage, well maintained Insights, but this one is very, very nice and original. Depending on how you drive it, it can get more than 70 mpgs. The official EPA estimates are 70mpgs highway and 61 mpgs city. 

I have tried to be as transparent as possible regarding the condition of this car, however, it is a 13 year old vehicle, as as such, it is being sold as is with no warranty.  I will be happy to assist in any way I can with shipping, although I would not hesitate to drive this vehicle cross country.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, and I will respond promptly.

Honda concept dials M for minivan [w/video]

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Yes, it looks a bit, uh, toothy, but what you see here is a concept that previews a brand new small MPV specifically designed for the Chinese market. Called the Concept M, the swoopy Honda was designed in Japan and the automaker is currently aiming to launch a production version in China sometime in 2014.
Honda hasn't released many details about its small van concept, simply saying that it "offers the attributes of a passenger car while adding new value through the realization of a comfortable and spacious cabin space made possible by Honda's packaging technologies, and the fun of driving." Doesn't sound too bad to us.
Have a glance at the Concept M in the gallery above (full disclosure: we don't have live shots of this one), and take a look below for the official press blast direct from the MPV's Shanghai debut, as well as a promotional video showing the new concept from all angles. Oh, and be sure to turn your volume down before pushing the play button.

Andretti Autosport switches to Honda power

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

The IndyCar grid was split pretty evenly this season between Honda and Chevy power. Thing is, most of the front-running teams have been running Chevrolet engines. Except for Chip Ganassi Racing, the team that fields the likes of Ryan Briscoe, Scott Fixon and Dario Franchitti - but earlier this month Chip Ganassi announced it was switching to Chevy engines too, just like most of the other pack-leading teams.
Honda insisted it didn't need a flagship team to replace Ganassi, but that's exactly what it announced this weekend with the signing of Andetti Autosport. The team run by Michael Andretti won a few IndyCar Series titles under Honda power (in 2004, 2005 and 2007), and two Indy 500 wins (in 2005 and 2007), but switched to the Bowtie two seasons ago, winning the championship last season. But the vast majority of the team's victories - 39 out of 48 race wins - have been powered by Honda, and the two outfits undoubtedly hope they'll return to the winner's circle again with their new multi-year partnership that takes effect next season.
