100% stock, well maintained, 5-speed 2005 Honda Insight (1st Gen). I'm the second owner (previous owner was a peer gEEk). Never smoked in. AZ vehicle recently shipped to my new home in Madison, AL (still has the AZ plate). Clean title on hand. 64.8 mpg lifetime average on its ~131K miles. Can easily get 72 mpg avg , that's ~720 miles on a tank if you drive it properly.
Year 2005s were built in the Honda special vehicles Suzuka Mie plant in Japan (where only the Acura NSX, Honda S2000, and these Honda Insights were built). It's an amazing piece of Engineering.
Always garaged, thus the great, non faded, paint. OEM-recommended low friction Bridgestone Potenza RE92s tires with > 80% thread left. Serviced with synthetic Mobil-1 oil every 3.5K miles following the severe conditions schedule (as AZ temps are commonly > 90 deg F). Transmission shifts flawlessly.

Included are two unused keys (spare & valet), one used key, vehicle documentation plus service manual. Cargo area has a fitting Subaru spill-proof rubber carpet. Never-used spare tire.
Vehicle has one small dent in driver-side door (~1, shopping cart most likely). Typical rock chips on front bumper for a car of this age/mileage. Worn driver side carpet under the pedals area (previous owner fault), which is not visible with the rubber carpet in place. Almost invisible scuff on right rear quarter panel close to skirt area (you need to know it is there in order to notice it), I did my best to obtain an image of it which is included in the supplied pictures link (copy and paste this in the address bar, then add the missing h to the front) :
