You are looking at a 2000 Honda Insight Hybrid in excellent mechanical condition. I purchased this vehicle in August of 2012 with 145,000 miles. The original owner drove it until 2011 and kept all maintenance records since it was brand new. I purchased this vehicle from my dad who typically owns two or three of these at a time; he was the second owner. He had a new clutch put in during the short time that he owned it. Throughout the two years that I've owned it, the only repair I've had done is a brand new radiator, which was installed about six months ago. I have also kept all maintenance records since I started driving it.

I have absolutely no complaints about this vehicle. I did not intend to keep it as long as I did. But it was hard to get rid of a vehicle that gets 50 to 65 MPG. The worst city mileage I've gotten is 45. That was because I was using studded winter tires at the time. The best highway mileage I've gotten is 73 while using low rolling resistance tires. The mileage shown next to the odometer (53.3), is the lifetime mileage since the vehicle was brand new. Another unique thing about this car is its aluminum body panels.

Overall, the vehicle is in good condition inside and out. The exterior shows typical wear for a vehicle of its age. The only major cosmetic issue is the weather stripping on the driver's side door. This only seems to be happening on the driver's side; the passenger side shows no evidence of wear at all.

There are no rips or tears in the fabric. The interior dash and door panels are in great shape as well.

Now that I am living in Alaska, I have decided to upgrade to a 4-wheel drive vehicle. I've considered keeping this as a summer vehicle, but I would prefer not to pay for insurance and maintenance on two vehicles.

If you do not know much about these cars or hybrids in general, I would encourage you to do a bit of research. A good resource to check out is insightcentral.net. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. 907-491-1557.

Due to the fact that I do not have any transactions in my feedback history, I will not require a deposit.

Thanks for looking.

There are a few other things I would like to mention:

-The hybrid battery is performing perfectly. I have never had any issues with the battery charging or holding its charge. And it always seems to provide enough additional horsepower to get around with ease. The only person I wouldn't recommend this vehicle to is someone who is continuously driving through the mountains. It tends to struggle going up steep hills but downshifting has always helped here. I've also noticed that the fuel economy is not as great while driving through mountains.

-All four tires were installed 9,000 miles ago.

***If you win the auction and decide you do not want the vehicle after seeing it in person and driving it, I will NOT require you to go through with the purchase. No negative feedback will be left. I will either relist it or offer it to the next highest bidder.***

Acura NSX GT3 racecar bares all in raw carbon

Thu, Jul 7 2016

Acura 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 Vezel is the Fit crossover we've been waiting for

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

"Vezel" may sound like the latest miracle cure from Big Pharma, but in truth it's the long-awaited Fit-based crossover from Honda. Unfortunate name aside, this four-door CUV looks ready for production, because it is.
Shown here in hybrid guise, the subcompact Vezel looks quite sporty, with boldly upswept sheetmetal contours, an aggressively raked backlight, "hidden" rear doorhandles borrowed from the JDM Civic hatchback, and an expressive face with LED headlamps.
Honda is presently confirming that the Vezel will go on sale in both hybrid and gas-only guise in Japan, but it isn't offering anything in the way of specifications other than to say that both models will make use of a 1.5-liter direct-injected engine, the "Sport Hybrid i-DCD" powertrain of course getting a "high-output motor" of unspecified power and what could be a dual-clutch transmission. Honda has declined to make clear whether this is the new 1.5-liter turbocharged VTEC engine we told you about yesterday, but it's a good bet that it is indeed the same new Earth Dreams powerplant. Critically, there's no mention of whether all-wheel drive will be offered.

Pair of perfect Honda NSX Type Rs go up for auction in Tokyo

Mon, May 20 2019

While the original Acura NSX is a brilliant supercar in any of its iterations, we never got the best version of it here in America: the Type R. Those came with Honda badges and are right-hand drive only. Unless you're in Japan or are lucky enough to come see an imported example elsewhere, you're not going to come across one of these. To see two practically perfect examples go up for auction at the same time is an even rarer sight. Some first-generation NSX Type R models (1992-1995 model years) can be imported to the U.S. now that they have surpassed the 25-year mark. However, this 1995 model is still a hair too new. Should that stop you from buying it and waiting a few months to take U.S. delivery? Certainly not. This car being offered at Tokyo's BH Auction with a grand total of 534 miles on its odometer. The seller claims it's 100% original and in pristine condition. Honda did a lot to transform the NSX into the first Type R of many to come. To start, engineers cut 308 pounds out of the car by using aluminum in even more places than before, deleting sound deadening, eliminating the A/C and stereo and using carbon-kevlar Recaro bucket seats. The 3.0-liter V6 was balanced and blueprinted. Then the suspension was given a full makeover with stiffer dampers, springs, bushings and a larger front sway bar. There were plenty of other little things throughout, but we'll spare you the long list. The number you need to know most is the estimated auction price. BH Auction thinks this NSX Type R will go for $227,000 - $272,000. 2005 Honda NSX-R View 21 Photos Next up is the ultra-rare 2005 Honda NSX-R. This R was based-off the NA2 NSX, so it has a 3.2-liter V6 and six-speed manual transmission with the new bodystyle that ditches the pop-up headlights. The 2005 model year was the last for the first-gen NSX, meaning this R is just about as new as they come. Many of the modifications that Honda did for the first Type R were repeated here. This model used carbon fiber more judiciously, though, replacing the hood, deck lid and spoiler with the lightweight material. The auction house claims just 140 NA2 NSX-Rs were made, so this is an incredibly rare car. Sadly, nobody here will be able to import it and drive it on American roads for quite some time yet. The price is estimated to come in at $345,000 - $436,000. That's pricey but this NSX has an even lower odometer reading than the other at just 348 miles.
