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. |

2014 Honda Accord V6 Touring
Mon, 03 Mar 2014America's midsize sedan segment is one of the most crowded and fiercely competitive in the business. The Toyota Camry has long been our nation's best seller, while the Honda Accord has dutifully come in second place, like some sort of codependent Cal Naughton Jr. riding Ricky Bobby's back bumper.
There was that one year, 2001, when the Accord briefly broke the Camry's streak, marring what would today have been a 17-year-long run of best-selling car titles. The Accord pulled the opposite move in 2011, letting sales slip far enough to let not only the Toyota by, but the Nissan Altima and Ford Fusion, as well. Aside from those anomalies, the Camry and Accord have been first and second in this segment since before many of you readers could even drive.
It's 2014, and these frenemies have never before faced a threat to their world order as strong as today's class of family sedans. The aforementioned Altima and Fusion are perhaps the most capable challengers, but the Chevrolet Malibu, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, Volkswagen Passat and Mazda6 are all capable of convincing new buyers to walk their way.
Design Handbook explains the difference between design and styling
Fri, 11 Oct 2013It's easy to confuse the terms 'design' and 'style,' but Jim Hall attempts to explain the difference between the two in his latest Design Handbook video column for Autoline. Before relating the terms to cars, Hall first uses other, non-automotive-related examples to prove his point, such as a well-designed glass versus a well-styled glass. Both do their job well as a result of good designs, he claims, but one stands out more because it also was styled.
When he relates his lesson to cars, he uses the 2013 Honda Accord and the new Chevrolet Impala as examples, but you'll have to watch the video below to find out which car he thinks is merely designed and which one has been styled.
We've also included a gallery of the Honda and a gallery of the Chevrolet so you can decide for yourself which one of these vehicles has been designed, and which one has been styled.
Honda overhauls North American operations with eye towards more autonomy
Mon, 25 Feb 2013The increasing sales success of Honda North America (HNA) has led to Honda brass in Japan reorganizing regional operations here. The management shuffling here and in Japan is intended to both streamline and confer more responsibility on HNA "as the region assumes a larger role in shaping Honda's global business," and as Honda builds more facilities that serve several roles in the product development pipeline.
Honda's executive vice president and president of HNA Tetsuo Iwamura was named COO of automotive operations, taking over a position that had been handled by company president Takanobu Ito. Iwamura's new role puts him in charge of anything Honda makes that has four wheels, which Automotive News says equates to 78 percent of the company's global revenue.
The current company CFO, Fumihiko Ike, will fill the now-vacant role of company chairman and Kohei Takeuchi will take his place. Takeuchi is presently the operating officer, general manager of the accounting division. The executive swaps take effect April 1, 2013.
