2002 Honda Insight 1 Owner Socal Car, Ima Battery Replaced Less Than 20k Ago on 2040-cars
Monrovia, California, United States
|
We are listing our very
clean 2002 Honda Insight (First Generation) that has approximately 71,930 miles
(see odometer picture). The body panels are very straight with some
rock/debris chips, which is visible to the eye upon close inspection.
This Insight has never been in an accident or had any touch-up done to the
original factory finish. We are the original owners, purchased new in 2002 in
Monrovia CA. The only major work done to the car since new was to have the IMA
battery replaced by Honda, last done on 9-28-2010, when the car had 52,693
miles. The same Honda dealer we purchased the car from has performed all
regular oil changes and service checks.
The car is a joy to drive
and as you can see in the pictures has averaged 45.1 MPG for the life of the
car. We are confident this number would be higher if we did not live at the
base of the foothills. At times we have seen average trip MPG calculations in
the high 60’s.
A Kenwood stereo replaces
the original radio so you can connect your iPhone or iPod to the car. The original factory radio is also included
with the car.
All systems work,
including the factory A/C that will keep the occupants cool on the hottest day.
As you can see in the pictures the underside of the car is very clean thanks to
the warm and dry climate the car has spent its entire existence in. Even the
exhaust system is rust free and looks and performs like new despite being 12
years old now. The spare tire has never been used.
The car is being sold
as-is, where-is - the car is located in Southern California and buyer will
assume all responsibility for pick-up and shipping. We can assist you in
your efforts to have it shipped anywhere in the Continental US. Payment
criteria is a $500.00 deposit upon winning the auction (within 2 days) via
PayPal with the balance to be paid by certified bank check within 7 days
following the deposit. ??Thanks for your interest and please ask if you have
any questions. ??

Acura NSX GT3 racecar bares all in raw carbon
Thu, Jul 7 2016Acura slowly and dramatically revealed the NSX over a period of years. There were previews, concepts, and lots of teases before Acura finally showed us the whole thing. It's a different story for the racecar. And today, the wraps come off the FIA GT3-spec NSX to show all of its bare-carbon glory. The NSX GT3 strips away more than just the paint from the standard road car. The racecar comes sans hybrid system, meaning all the power from the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 is sent solely to the rear wheels. Modifications to the body include a large rear wing, underbody diffuser, and bigger hood vents for engine cooling. While the hybrid system may be gone, the NSX GT3 uses the same block, heads, valvetrain, crankshaft, pistons, and dry sump lubrication system as the road car. Power is sent through a six-speed sequential gearbox instead of the road car's nine-speed. The NSX GT3 will be built alongside the street version in Ohio. Honda engineers in Japan and North America shared in the development. Final GT3 homologation will be completed by the company's Honda Performance Division in Santa Clarita, CA. Related video:
Honda, Subaru airlifting parts to bypass port labor diputes
Fri, Feb 6 2015It should be abundantly obvious that a vital element in building cars is actually having the components on hand to assemble them. A labor dispute on the West Coast between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and management is not making that quite so easy for some Japanese automakers. Work slowdowns at the ports have pushed Honda and Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries into flying some parts into the country. The two automakers began shipping by airplane late last month to avoid production delays, according to Bloomberg, but it has been an expensive solution. Subaru's chief financial officer said the decision cost around $60 million more per month than sending components by cargo ship. They aren't the only companies dealing with the problem, either. Toyota reportedly stopped overtime assembly at some of its factories here because of the delays in getting parts, according to Bloomberg. The dockworkers have been negotiating on a new contract since May 2014, and the current offer on the table to them has offered a 3 percent raise, according to Bloomberg. Although, the union is reportedly considering another slowdown at 29 ports along the West Coast in the coming days.

Acura built just 91 examples of the ILX last month, here's why
Thu, 18 Apr 2013The short life of the Acura ILX has been vexed by one glaringly odd standard equipment choice, mediocre reviews, getting outsold by its competition as it posted slower-than-projected sales and a pledge by Honda to upgrade its supposedly upgraded offering. Therefore, when Automotive News reports that just 91 of the Civic-based Acura sedans were manufactured last month - after a string of production months in double-digits - it would be easy to press the button for the alarm bells.
But that would be hasty, because it is actually the 2013 Honda Civic that is crimping the production pipeline of the ILX. The vastly higher sales numbers of the Honda meant that all three North American plants that produce it needed to crank up output to satisfy dealer inventory needs, including the Greenburg, Indiana plant that makes both the Civic and the ILX. As the classic guns-vs-butter Economy 101 lesson taught us - in which making more of one necessarily means making less of the other - well, the Civic is the gun.
Honda prepared for this eventuality by cranking out the Acuras while it got ready for Civic production. The ILX has held steady at about 500 units shy of company projections every month, and the current inventory represents about 90 days worth of sales. That makes Greenburg's ostensibly low numbers in line with the realities of the ILX, and the situation probably won't change much as Acura gets ready for the improved 2014 ILX.
