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. ??

Honda Walking Assist Device begins US testing at Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago
Sun, 17 Nov 2013For years, we've been wondering what implications Honda's Asimo robot could have in the real world, and now we're starting to get a sense of that. Honda announced that it will begin its first US clinical studies of the Walking Assist Device at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago in an effort to provided improved mobility for people who have suffered a stroke. While the automotive tie-in here is pretty weak, this is the first time we've heard about this device since it was unveiled back in 2008.
Weighing in at six pounds, Honda's device is fitted to the waist and legs of patients to make it easier to walk, and the 22.2-volt lithium-ion battery provides enough electricity for more than an hour of operation. According to Honda's press release, which is posted below, up to 80 percent of the almost 800,000 stroke victims each year (in the US alone) are afflicted with limited mobility, so a medical aid like this could have a big impact in the real world.
Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]
Wed, 20 Aug 2014No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
Honda updates Takata airbag recall status for some models
Fri, 07 Nov 2014The net enveloping vehicles in the Takata airbag inflator recall just seems to keep widening. Honda is now updating its previous campaign to revise the status for even more models that were ever registered in (or originally sold in) 13 high-humidity US states and territories.
All of these vehicles were included in the company's earlier repairs. However, at the time this fix was titled "a safety improvement campaign." This latest action upgrades that condition to "a formal recall," according to Honda's official statement. The models include: the 2003-2005 Honda Accord, 2001-2005 Civic (pictured above), 2002-2005 CR-V, 2003-2004 Element, 2002-2004 Odyssey, 2003-2005 Pilot, 2006 Ridgeline, 2003-2005 Acura MDX and the 2005 Acura RL. All of these need to have their passenger-side, front airbag inflator replaced, and the recall affects Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Saipan, Guam and American Samoa.
As with the rest of these affected vehicles, it's possible in a collision for the inflator to rupture spraying metal shrapnel at occupants. There are at least 139 injuries attributed to this problem from a variety of automakers so far. Among this latest population of vehicles, Honda says there have been no confirmed injuries or fatalities related to these exploding inflators.
