2003 Honda Insight With Custom Subwoofer And Recently Replaced Ima Battery on 2040-cars
North Hollywood, California, United States
You are bidding on a two-door 2003
Honda Insight hatchback that has approximately 73,056 miles on it (see picture
of odometer) with a recently replaced IMA battery. The car features an upgraded
sound system, including a limited edition custom-made subwoofer designed
specifically for this model of Honda Insight. Except for ordinary wear and
tear, and a few bumps and scratches, the car is in very good condition, with a
clean interior and exterior, as shown in the pictures of this listing.
I am the original owner and bought it from the Honda dealership in San Francisco in 2003. Maintenance has been performed exclusively at Honda dealerships in Hollywood and North Hollywood. Most of my driving has been back and forth from work on local roads which is why the mileage is so low. My wife and I are starting a family and I am selling the car because I need a four-door with more space room for babies, pets and stuff. This is a first generation hybrid that has obtained a lifetime average miles per gallon rating of 39.9 mpg (see picture). It is a Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV) and includes a regenerative braking system and other features to maximize its fuel economy. Were it not for years of bumper-to-bumper commutes in Los Angeles, the fuel efficiency might be even higher. On highways and road trips, the fuel economy hits 60 miles per gallon. Included with the car are three keys, one of which is new and has yet to be programmed by the dealership, plus a valet key and two original keyless entry fobs (never used or tested). NOTE: The picture of the driver's seat is washed out due to the Southern California sun. Without the glare of the sun, the driver's seat looks the same as passenger's seat (see picture). Apologies for the bad picture.
You can reach me at 510-393-2781 with questions from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. PST. I cannot allow test drives but you may request to schedule an appointment for inspection in North Hollywood during the bidding time period (keeping in mind that I have a day job).

DETAILS, SPECIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONAL PICTURES The remainder of this listing provides details about (1) the recently replaced IMA battery, (2) the upgraded sound system and (3) additional pictures. RECENTLY REPLACED HYBRID BATTERY UPGRADED SOUND SYSTEM Speakers Amplifier Stereo/CD
Player/Bluetooth Custom
"Shoebox” Subwoofer (Pictured) I'm no audiophile or expert but the upgraded speakers and custom sub give a very rich sound without taking away from the cargo space of the car. ADDITIONAL PICTURES http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll161/darkelfo/Honda%20Insight/IMG_5242_zps3754b258.jpg DISCLOSURES In 2011, the car was broken into. In the process of trying to take the stereo, the thieves destroyed some components of the dash. I had those components replaced with new parts at the dealership. And it was a good excuse to replace the stolen stereo with a new and better model (see upgraded sound system section above). When the car was broken into, the front VIN plate was either stolen or not replaced by dealership when they replaced the dash components. So the car is missing the VIN plate on the front window (all other VIN stickers and engravings are on the vehicle). The California Highway Patrol has verified that the VIN number for the vehicle is correct and valid and I will provide the original signatures and documentation from CHP to the buyer together with the title. The car has a slight dent on the right side above the rear wheel cover (pictured). There are some paint chips on the door frame from getting in and out of the car. The vehicle has other ordinary wear and tear which I have tried to show in the pictures. The AC works very well but it has an odd glitch where the fan will on occasional stop blowing. The AC continues to cool but the fan does not blow. The Honda dealership was unable to determine the cause. In any event -- and this is NOT a joke -- if I bang on the dashboard above the AC control panel, the fan usually starts blowing again. If that doesn't work, hitting a pothole or any real bump in the road fixes the issue. I gave up trying to get the dealership to figure it out because I have a practical work around. It has worked every time. |

Here's what you had to say about the Tokyo Motor Show
Fri, Oct 27 2017We obsessively covered the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show. You, our readers, provided the color commentary. Read on and, of course, leave your comments below. Subaru Viziv Performance Concept: Remember the WRX concept they showed in 2013, and what the production version looked like in 2015? Pepperidge Farm remembers. wooootles 2 foot high wing on the trunk or gtfo :) sc0rch3d Mazda Kai Concept : Dear Honda, this is how you dynamically style a hatchback. Thank you. Dfelix70 Kudos to KODO design. There are so many things I love about this "Kai" car: the awesome split panoramic sunroof, the Jaguar-esque tails (sporting an "eyebrow up"... ala The Rock), a sleek family resemblance to the already beautiful CX-5 and CX-9. Seems suspiciously close to being a production ready Mazda3 — save for a few fanciful bits (door handles, mirrors etc). If it doesn't get too watered down by the time it hits the streets ... take my money! Randy Ross Mitsubishi e-Evolution Concept: As an 06 IX and 12 X owner, this is so upsetting. I will never buy this or care to give it another look. Hope you are glad you killed my favorite track-ready car to produce this electric junk. AcidTonic Picture the GT-R going away for a few years and coming back as an SUV. This is ridiculous. Surely someone in marketing could've came up with another cool name. Evo The Evo sedan is dead, whether this exists or not. I don't mind. Lada1200 Honda Sports EV Concept : I sure would like to see this "less is more" design aesthetic spread to their gas-powered production line. RustyShackleford Love it. I see glimpses of late 1970 Scirocco with Honda flair. Gintonics I just want ONE question answered in the affirmative, and that is... "RWD?" Henadenk AND A FEW FROM FACEBOOK: Toyota's press conference: Wake me up when they talk about the Supra. David Levinson Yamaha Cross Hub Concept: All I can think is modern day Brat, which has its own kind of charm. I'm assuming that it's a unibody design, but it seems happy to be its own thing rather than that crossover pretending to be a pickup called the Ridgeline. Would definitely take the Yamaha over the Honda, although I doubt it'll come to the states. Cole Henry Mazda Vision Coupe Concept: Face: KIA K7, Tail: Aston martin. Harold Shin A bit British, no?

Honda Civic Type R Concept is the shape of hot things to come
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Soon, kids. Soon. The next-generation Honda Civic Type R is finally coming, and we're getting another preview of the hot hatch here at the Paris Motor Show. Of course, this one probably won't be headed to the United States (boo!), but it doesn't mean we can't get excited. After all, we're big fans of little turbo hatches, and from what we know right now, this one sure sounds sweet.
Underneath that new blue paint and red decals is a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, reportedly good for 276 horsepower. Honda tells us there's a "steer axis" system with adaptive dampers, and with the push of its +R button, the suspension, steering and torque mapping are all altered to make this Type R even more Type R-ier than before. In fact, Honda says this Civic will surpass every Type R that came before it - that means every Integra, Accord, Civic and even the NSX. Hot diggity.
We've got a fresh batch of images of the Type R Concept up top, and Honda's press release is available below. Hopefully it won't be long before the production car is finally revealed.
