2001 Honda Insight

Honda Insight (2001)
for sale

Price: US $3,500.00

Description:

Up for sale is a 2001 Honda Insight CVT Auto. I hate to sell this car. It has been in family since it had 170 miles on it. It gets great gas mileage, parts are cheap, and its very reliable, but only seats two people and we are expecting our first baby. I know a lot about these cars I have owned 3, and have successfully maintained every one of them. The current 144v battery packs are about 5 years old and has been on a grid charger. Should last many years. The CVT transmission has been replaced 3 years ago w/ starter clutch, along with a salvage yard engine after timing. The original engine timing chain stretched bad enough causing oil consumption that damaged the engine.
THE GOOD:
The car runs drives great. Averages about 53-55 mpg normal driving.
Shifts great.
The 144v battery charges as it should and assists as it should.
The A/C blows cold, power windows/locks work.
The auto stop/start feature also works.
Tires are in good shape.
I will include 10 quarts of Royal Purple 0w-20 Synthetic motor oil specifically for this type of engine.
THE BAD:
A Chainsaw fell on passenger side fender/headlight. The fender is plastic and does not bend, so it did break near the bumper. The headlight was replaced but still needs a fender. You can find one in exact color from over 6 online salvage yards. The bumper did get cracked, but it is repaireable.. or if your like me.. Drive it as it is and enjoy the 55mpg.
LOCATION:
I am located 60 miles E. of St louis in Centralia. There is an Amtrak station in town, and there is a Greyhound bus about 30 minutes away that I could meet you at. Depending how much it sells for, I could meet you at STL Airport and you can drive it home.
