2001 HONDA INSIGHT 5-SPEED / BATTERY REPLACED / 73 MPG / REDONE & VERY NICE!

2001 Honda Insight Description

This 2001 5-Speed Honda Insight is in super nice condition! This is a one owner car from Braman, Florida, and has never seen salt. (You could eat off the engine compartment and bottom of this car, it's soooo clean!) It has a perfectly clean carfax report with no accidents, and lots of service records shown from the Honda Dealer in Braman, FL. (shown below.) The battery pack was replaced a year ago, wired with both a grid charger harness and discharger harness, and cycled regularly. The pack charges and discharges perfectly. The transmissionhas been serviced and does not grind at all, in any gear, up or down, at any speed. I havedone a lot of work and restoreda lot on this insight, both mechanically and cosmetically. Some of which includes: some paint and buffing, all underbelly panels, wiper arms and wipers, seat covers, shampooed ALL carpeting, seats and door panels, replaced worn out window switches, window regulator, center net, transmission service, transmission fluid, shifter knob, foot pedal covers, wet sanded and polished both headlights, trip meter circuit board, mobil 1 0w-20 motor oil and filter (0 miles,) air cleaner, egr plate cleaning, egr valve, plugs, rear wing, side mirror, rear view mirror, interior door handles, speakers, floor mats, rear hatch release actuator, exterior door trim on both sides, etc, etc.Everything donewith genuine Honda parts. This car has been very well maintained, has never been smoked in, and has no odors. No check engine lights, no exhaust leaks (or any leaks!) I have a clean and clear transferable New York State title in hand, with no liens. NY State inspected. There is ZERO rust on the body, brake lines, fuel lines, shock towers, exhaust, etc. The car is perfectly stock, minus only the addition of the in-dash Alpine am/fm/cd player (with ipod input,) and the grid charger harnesses. All original Honda glass, including the windshield. Everything on this car is correct and nowworks exactly as it should! Can you buy a cheaper insight? Yup. But be prepared to spend a lot of money and time with the common and expensive battery replacementissues, transmission grind/replacement neededissues, interiors and carpets being trashed, seats worn thru, paint and body issues, previous accident history, and all the other common mechanical and cosmetic stuff. This one is now all done and only needs a driver! This is where the old saying "You get what you pay for" holds very true! This Insight is as reliable as can be. I'd have no problem jumping in this insight and driving outto California today! When taken care of, these Insights always get 300k or more miles, lifetime-wise. I've seen some with 400k and even 440k on ebay, with the original engines! Super lightweight (1800 lbs,) and super aerodynamic, the first generation Honda Insight 5-speed holds the mpg record even today, with epa ratings of 61 city and 70 highway! No other car comes close, even today! Last summer, Iaveraged 73.7 mpg, city and highway combined! Surprisinglyroomy inside, with lots of room in the hatch area and trunk area, as well. If youdo a lot ofdriving, and can get by with a roomy 2 seater with storage,you cannot beat it! And, these cars bodies and frames do not rust, as they are all aluminum construction! The owner's manual, stereo manual, and the keyless remote are included, too. The car is wired forthe grid chargers I build (see ebay item #301705874122.) Occasional grid charging (and discharging) helps the health of the battery and prolong it's life. Ican installedany or all of the other mods that I build and offer also, if the buyer so wishes (clutch interrupt circuit ebay item #301778473582, throttle smoothing circuit ebay item #301757412821, brake regen circuit ebay item #301885157400, foot rest pedal ebay item #301885156958,etc.) See them and read about each and their advantages in my ebay store. I've had 41 first generation insights now, over the last 7 years, and do all my own work on them. I know them like the back of my hand. I have over 35 years of automotive repair experience with schooling and love wrenching on cars as my main hobby. I'm not a dealer, just a totally obsessed insight fanatic! I'll never be without one as my daily driver! This car is kept in my heated garage. Any questions; just holler!Thanks!Chris

PS: I also have a 2001 silver automatic insight, with a new battery pack I replaced myself 6 months ago, also from Florida it's whole life too (again super clean,) with a clean carfax report and history with no accidents, all original honda glass, with grid charger harness, for $4495! I have extensively gone over every square inch of this insight too, and repaired and replaced everything it needed, including cosmetic parts that weren't up to my standards. It needs nothing now, and looks, drives, runs, and shifts great! (This has been my daughter's daily driver for the past year.) Perfectly tuned and averages 55-60 mpg. Fresh Mobil 1 0w-20 oil, honda filter, and trans fluid changed too. This insight will also go for many, many more miles! Just needs a driver! I haven't listed it anywhere for sale yet, just inquire! Thanks! Chris






The drips on the underside pic is because I just washed the car before taking that pic. The car has zero leaks.....
