2000 Honda Insight Citrus 5 Speed Manual Transmission. MT. 55, 769 miles
I have appx 40 of these cars. With that being said, I'm not selling parts at this time as I need my parts for the cars I am selling. I have spent the last month, on and off, getting this car right. And it is as good as it can be with absolutely no problems. Wanted this car to be one of the best available. Carfax has a +$480 due to the info in the carfax. Lifetime miles per gallon: 47.2 MPG. Probably the nicest Insight on the market. Try to find one better if you miss out on this one.
THIS IS A ONE OWNER CAR PRIOR TO ME BUYING THE CAR. IT HAS SPENT ITS WHOLE LIFE IN CALIFORNIA BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND HAD IT TRANSPORTED TO INDIANAPOLIS. I have only put on a couple thousand miles since I bought it in 2013. I have a clear title on hand showing the miles to be accurate.
The Manual Transmission works perfectly. Shifts smoothly including downshifting.
IMA battery is STRONG and works perfectly. When I first acquired the car a couple years ago it had an IMA light so had the IMA replaced by the dealer at that time(54, 187 miles) and has only 300 mi on the new battery. when I bought the car the IMA battery stayed at full charge prior to me installing a grid charger harness. With 40 Insights I can attest that these batteries can remain dormant for very long periods of time and just need to be charged and discharged upon use. I freshly charged and discharged and charged this battery and it should last a long time. Grid charger and harness included as all of these cars should be grid charged frequently. Nothing but the best for this car. The grid charger/discharger is from hybridautomotive.com and I believe is appx $400 without the installation charge. Of course the harness is installed and you should grid charge all insights on an as needed basis (appx every 2-4 weeks).
Interior- above average. I removed the seats and door panels, washed and cleaned the seat covers and door panels thoroughly outside the car and reinstalled. Cold A/C. The carpets were freshly shampooed. The floor mat in the hatchback area is in good condition condition. CAR COMES WITH OEM ORIGINAL FLOORMATS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.
Exterior- EXCELLENT- NEW PAINT.When I first got the car it had fading on the hood and top and I had it professionally painted. Of course NO dents or door dings. Overall the body is in excellent condition. The wheels on this car are in good condition. Ihad the car professionally waxed and buffed and detailed.
Underneath- above average. All underneath body panels intact and even the body panels were cleaned and polished (my friends thought I was nuts doing this).
Engine compartment-WAY above average. I challenge you to find any rust on this car. Definitely the best rust free car I have in my collection. Had this professionally detailed. 12V battery is a Honda Battery.
Mechanics-Way above average as the car only has 54k mi. No check engine lights, tranny purrs as it should, motor fires right up and sounds great. Should last easily for another 200, 000 mi.
Oil and Filter - recently changed. Ready to go.
Tires - good and OEM of course.
Car also goes into auto-stop easily (see pic) which is where the engine shuts off when idling and starts instantaneously when you step on the gas. This helps your mpg greatly and some Insights don't go into auto-stop.
You guys buying these cars with bad tranny's and IMA's will be faced with possible repairs of $4k or more. This car is done. Tranny purrs. Strong IMA. Engine has ZERO leaks. Get in, drive and give me a positive feedback. Money was no issue in making this the best that it can be. No corners cut. Gas tank-on full of course. No issues. PERIOD.
Quick story. When this car came on the market the dealer in Burlingame, CA was hit with a ton of interest on this car. Dealer did not want to sell to someone 2000 mi away as they wanted to sell locally and pick up a new service customer. I had to pay the salesman an added commission (bribe?) if he talked his boss into selling me the car at full ask. Then I had the car professionally transported to Indianapolis. Including paint I have over $13, 000 in this car. My loss is your gain.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this car. I'm appx 20 miles NW of Indianapolis, IN and you can fly in to IND (Indianapolis, IN airport) and I'll meet you at the airport and you can drive home. Anywhere including Timbucktoo. This car is ready to go. I am not a dealer but a retired enthusiast that has a ton of these cars that I enjoy working on. I'm not going to sell a car and then have you give me a negative for whatever reason as I have many more to go. But as of now just this one for sale. No sight seers of InsightWorld as I'm too busy enjoying what I do. Here to sell a great car for a great price. Where else can you get a Citrus (rare color available only made in the year 2000 and has NO problems with a good battery, harness and grid charger and discharger? I am selling this as is with no warranties expressed or implied. With that said if there is a problem, let me know about it. I have thousands of positive comments and NEVER had a negative comment and not going to start now. I want both of us happy. I have spent a lot of time working on getting this car ready. My last Insight I sold to a guy in Georgia that ended up buying a second one from me. And he's very pleased with both cars. You will be very happy with this car. This hobby has been an absolute joy that I wouldn't trade for anything. Clear title on hand. $500 Deposit expected immediately after you win the auction. Balance due within one week and I can assist with shipping at buyers expense. Car won't be released until funds are verified by my bank as valid.
My last 4 cars were sold prior to the end of the auction as I have a couple of local buyers that are waiting for me to finish this car and will be notified once this car goes online. First reasonable offer is the new owner.
