This auction is for a 2002 Honda Insight Hybrid finished in Monte Carlo Blue with the two-tone gray and black interior. It’s powered by a hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain (hence the name Hybrid) consisting of an all aluminum 1.0 liter 3 cylinder VTEC-E gas engine coupled to a battery powered electric motor known as the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA). Power is then routed to a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) automatic transmission that eliminates conventional shifts to provide silky smooth seamless acceleration that no other transmission, ither manual or conventional automatic, an match, ithout any of the power loss of a conventional automatic and nearly identical fuel economy as a manual transmission model. This powertrain combined with a light weight body, xcellent aerodynamics and numerous gas saving features, llows the Insight CVT to get 60 mpg in normal driving and can top 70 mpg without much effort.

If you are already familiar with the Insight, ou may want to skip over the next few paragraphs that give a comprehensive and detailed overview of the car, nd go straight to the pictures and description.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE HONDA INSIGHT A hybrid powertrain combines the best features of two different propulsion systems into one integrated seamless powerplant. An internal combustion engine produces little power and torque at idle and low engine speeds but greater power as the RPMs increase. An electric motor on the other hand puts out its maximum torque at ZERO rpm. What that means is you can utilize the maximum torque output of the electric motor when accelerating from a stop, nd the greater power output of the gas engine at higher RPMs for cruising at highway speeds, r any combination of both at speeds in between, o optimize both acceleration and fuel economy. Additional benefits of this system are regenerative braking that makes use of energy that other cars waste while braking and coasting by recharging the battery pack, nd engine cut-off at stop lights when other cars are wasting gas idling. The Insight’s layout consists of a 10-killowatt 22-pound thin electric motor sandwiched between the engine and transmission to boost the car’s performance when needed. During coasting and braking the motor also serves as a generator (a.k.a. regenerative braking) to recharge a 144 volt nickel-metal hydride battery pack located behind the seats. Think of this IMA system as a supercharger that provides additional performance without using much energy, nd in fact, ecause it recovers the Insight’s momentum to recharge the battery pack, t’s more efficient than any supercharger could ever be. The engine doesn’t have an alternator. The IMA keeps the high voltage battery pack charged and an inverter powers most 12 volt electricals including keeping the 12V battery charged, hich itself is mainly used just to power up the IMA control modules when you first turn the key. The other key component of this Insight Hybrid’s powertrain is the optional automatic transmission. It uses a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) that instead of having individual gears, as a steel belt between two variable diameter pulleys to transfer torque through a wide range of “gear” ratios. The CVT has a low starting “gear” ratio that provides brisk acceleration from a stoplight, hile a high top “gear” ratio allows for effortless highway cruising and excellent fuel economy. In fact, t 60 mph, he engine is only turning at 2,200 rpm, hich is very low for such a small engine and which contributes to the excellent gas mileage. The Insight Hybrid has a few other tweaks to save fuel including an extensive use of composite and aluminum body panels and inner structural components, erodynemic rear wheel fender skirts, mooth profile and light weight aluminum wheels, pecial tires that reduce rolling resistance, mini front air dam and rear spoiler along with numerous underbody panels which give the car a drag coefficient of just 0.25 (one of the lowest of any production car), lectrically assisted power steering that reduces parasitic losses on the engine, nd probably the best feature, n idle shutoff mode called Auto Stop that turns off the engine as you come to a stop and provides you with an eerie silence at most every traffic light. Quite soothing after a long day at the office. The IMA automatically restarts the engine the instant you take your foot off the brake. The IMA starts the engine most of the time, nd in fact, ou may go for years without ever using the conventional 12 volt starter. About the only time the 12V starter is used is if the IMA battery is discharged from the car sitting a few months. When you combine all these features with a low curb weight of under 2,000 pounds, he Insight CVT earns an EPA mileage rating of 57/56 MPG city/highway. The highest of any automatic transmission car out there. And those numbers are obtained in a lab under simulated driving conditions. You can do a bit better with just a minor adjustment to your driving style. I have gotten 65 mpg over a 77 mile highway ride without any special driving maneuvers other than keeping under 60 mph. And if you practice any hypermiling techniques, ou can get even higher figures, ith some owners reporting breaking the 80 mpg mark. (Disclaimer: YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY.) Combined with the Insight’s 10.6 gallon fuel tank, t’s hard not to get at least 500 miles between fill-ups. Not only is the Insight economical to drive, t’s also economical to maintain. Most systems have low or reduced maintenance components. For example, nstead of a timing belt that needs periodic replacement, he Insight engine uses a steel timing chain that should last the life of the car. It uses iridium tipped spark plugs with 105,000 mile service intervals, xtended life coolant with a 120,000 mile service interval, nd a fuel filter that never needs servicing. The oil capacity for the small 1.0 liter engine is just 3 quarts so even full synthetic oil changes are under $30. And the Insight has a Maintenance Required indicator system that illuminates a light on the dash when routine service is due. A car driven primarily on the highway requires less maintenance than one subject to city use with constant stopping and starting. While the Insight doesn’t cost much to drive or maintain, t’s also well built and very reliable. It’s not unusual to see these cars going strong with mileages over 300,000 miles. There are a few dozen that have topped 400K miles, handful that hit the half million mile mark and there is reportedly an owner that uses the car in his courier business that has over 600,000 miles. The biggest concern to many new Insight buyers is the battery pack. In reality, here is little reason to worry too much about the battery pack wearing out on an Insight. First of all, nlike other Hybrids like Toyota’s Prius where the battery is integral to the powertrain, uch that if it quits the car is undriveable, n the Insight, hat is not an issue. The Insight battery pack can be disconnected and the car driven indefinitely in that condition. Remember, he Integrated Motor Assist is just an assist, ike a supercharger. In steady highway driving and other driving situations that don’t require lots of power, ou would be hard pressed to tell that there was anything unusual if the battery was disconnected, nd the gas mileage would be nearly identical as with the battery connected. The only situation where mileage might drop is in city driving where the Auto Stop feature would be disabled, nd even then, he reduction in mileage would be minimal. After all, t’s still a 1.0 liter powered sub 2,000 pound aerodynamic car. In fact, t’s quite common for owners of Insights in less than nice condition where it’s not worth spending much money on, .e., ith body damage or other mechanical issues, hat have a bad battery pack to just disconnect it instead of spending the money on a new battery pack, nd keep driving it like always. For those that do want to replace the battery pack, here are far better aftermarket replacements available that cost much less than a Honda pack. In addition, ince it’s not the ENTIRE battery pack that goes bad but individual cells within the pack, ou can replace just those bad cells. And this car is equipped with a grid charger port, etails of which are mentioned further in the description, hich extends battery pack life considerably. As to the battery pack in this car, have no history on it but it works fine, eels strong and has never thrown a code. I grid charged about 3 months ago and the battery indicator doesn’t drop more than 4-5 bars from full when crossing the 2 long mountain passes between Frederick and Hagerstown MD on I70. The first generation Insight was a radical new design for Honda, nd one that turns heads going down the road and prompts many questions from passersby at the mall or in the supermarket parking lot. If you’re the least bit shy, ou may want to shop for a different car. It’s still a fresh design for most people since few have even seen it close up. With only about 4,000 sold the first year (which is about how many Civics are sold in just one week), nd a total of 17,000 made for the entire seven year production run from 2000 to 2006, t’s a rare car to see on the road. If you’re tired of driving the same boring cookie cutter designed car that everyone else is driving, his car may be for you. If you are into being green, hen besides getting great gas mileage, he Insight is one of the few cars certified by CARB (California Air Resources Board) to be a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV). And you don’t give up anything in comfort and room with the Insight. Headroom and legroom is plenty for all but the tallest basketball players and there is no claustrophobic feeling like you get in some other small cars. Driving it is also no different as it accelerates and merges into traffic with ease and keeps up with 75-80 mph highway speeds without breaking a sweat. In many states, he Insight may be eligible for numerous perks such as being able to drive alone in the HOV carpool lanes without a passenger, eing exempt from annual emissions inspections, ree or reduced parking rates at downtown or airport parking lots, tc. Check your state or local government for more details. Its exterior style is very unique, ombining sleek form with aerodynamic function. From its stylish lines and sweeping curves, t incorporates numerous design elements to create a look that is like no other car on the road. From the slightly bulging headlights up front, o the bright finish aerodynamic profile wheels and fender skirts on the sides, o a roof mounted euro style shorty antenna up top and to a two window rear hatch in the back, t looks futuristic from any angle without being flashy. But if you like high tech design, ou will really like the interior. Observe the electroluminescent style instrument cluster with displays for instant, verage and long term fuel mileage. Touch the small diameter dimpled grip steering wheel that fits your hands perfectly and has control buttons for the transmission DRIVE and SPORT modes. Admire the two-tone sport weave fabric on the seats and door panels. Try the buttons and switches and notice the precise soft-touch feel as they are engaged. Not only are the colors elegant but all the textures have a rich feel and look. From the perforations on the steering wheel, he graining pattern on the dash and door panels, r the layout of knobs and switches on the dash, verything looks and feels like it came from a more expensive car.

The car is in great condition inside and out. It has an excellent dent-free body with hardly any of the blemishes you would normally expect on a car of this age and mileage. The front of the hood has tiny sand grain size chips, ka road rash and the rest of the body has just a few touched up random minor nicks and scratches and a few small door dings. The paint itself is beautiful and shiny and this bright blue color just about glows in the sunlight. Monte Carlo Blue is a pearl finish, nd as such, as incredible depth and vibrance that non-metallic paints can’t match. It has been cleaned with Meguiar’s Smooth Surface Clay System, olished with Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze cleaner polish and topped off with Meguiar’s Ultimate Synthetic Wax for a high gloss shine. The headlights were detailed with the 3M headlight polishing system for a crystal clear look. All the glass, oldings, rim and emblems are excellent except for the plastic coating on the stainless steel door sill strips are peeling a little and have been touched up. The rear spoiler which on most cars is faded or has peeling clearcoat, ooks like new. The wheel spats, ka fender skirts fit perfect. I checked the car out top to bottom and found no evidence that is was ever wrecked or that it even has had any previous paint or bodywork done to it. (Does have some airbrush detailing on the front bumper.) It still has the original VIN stickers on all body panels. Remember, t’s hard enough to find a three year old or 30,000 mile vehicle that hasn’t had at least a fender-bender requiring a bumper, ood or fender to be replaced or repaired, et alone a 10+ year old car with over 100,000 miles on it.

In addition, his Insight has all it’s underbody panels installed. If a mechanic forgets to replace a panel after an oil change or you run over a curb and break one off, our gas mileage may suffer, s the aerodynamics under a car are just as important as above it. If you are looking at other Insights for sale as well, heck underneath and make sure all the following panels are still intact as they are not cheap to replace.

The interior is in great condition as well. It has nice upholstery, ashboard, oor panels, arpet and headliner with no cracks, ips or tears even on the drivers seat bolster, r any major signs of wear except for the drivers side foot-well carpet. The car doesn‘t appear to have been smoked in. In fact, t’s not even equipped with a lighter. The cargo area is nice and the engine compartment has been fully detailed and is clean enough to eat off of.

Mechanically it runs and drives excellent. The engine runs strong and feels smooth while accelerating and throughout the cruising range and it starts instantly whether hot or cold. The steering wheel is on dead center going down the road with no shakes or vibrations at speed, he brakes are firm with no pedal pulsations or pulling to one side when stopping and the suspension is tight but does squeak occasionally like these models are prone to do. The A/C blows ice cold. It has a matching set of four original equipment Bridgestone RE92 tires with very good tread all around. If you are looking at other Insights for sale as well, ake sure they also have these low rolling resistance (LLR) RE92 tires, s any other brand will reduce your gas mileage 5-10 mpg. They have been balanced with weights mounted on the inside of the wheel for a super clean look. The spare tire doesn’t look like it has even been used much.

The car has been fully checked out and serviced with over $2,400 worth of new or recent parts, aintenance and repairs with original Honda or other name brand parts so that only your enjoyment rather than your immediate attention will be required on delivery. (And that’s not even including the four Bridgestone RE92 tires already on the car.) Some of the items checked or serviced include:

• New Honda 0W-20 synthetic oil change
• New Honda oil filter
• Recent air filter
• New NPN cabin air filter
• New throttle body cleaning

And finally, he on-board diagnostics were scanned and show no codes stored, nd more important, hat all available emissions system readiness monitors have been completed. What that means is the CHECK ENGINE light wasn’t reset in order to turn it off to hide an existing fault. If an emissions component or the IMA battery system has a bad part causing the CHECK ENGINE or IMA light to illuminate, he emissions readiness monitors will be incomplete plus the car won’t pass an emissions inspection. Some sellers will reset the CHECK ENGINE light to make it appear like there are no issues at the time of sale, ut the light will come back on shortly afterwards. It can take hundreds of miles for the readiness monitors to run to completion, o the fact that the readiness monitors have been completed indicates the CHECK ENGINE light hasn’t been reset and that at the time the car was scanned, t would pass an emissions inspection. (That isn’t a guaranty that the light won’t come on in the future as a fault can occur at any time without warning, ut I have put over 1,300 miles on the car in the last four months without the light coming on.)

While the Insight is obviously cheap to run with it’s great gas mileage, t’s also cheap to maintain, o other than routine oil and filter changes, ith all the above mentioned servicing the car has recently received, ou should be good to go for another 100,000 miles before requiring major maintenance.

Overall this is a super sharp car that looks absolutely fantastic in this Monte Carlo Blue color. You’re sure to get many questions and complements about it at the mall or supermarket parking lot from total strangers. If you don’t want attention, r if you are the least bit shy, on’t buy this car, warn you. Also, t’s been a one owner southern car from Maryland most of its life, hich probably explains why it’s so clean. It also has a clean Carfax. CLICK HERE to see the Carfax report.

The car comes with the owners manual:

Two factory keys and factory remotes:

A front license plate bracket if your state requires one (holes already in bumper):

And a conveniently located grid charger port (charger NOT included):

A grid charger is a device similar to conventional battery charger that can greatly extend the life of a battery pack in a hybrid vehicle. The battery pack consists of 120 individual 1.2 volt D cell size nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Over time, he voltage and capacity of the individual batteries will begin to vary and cause an imbalance that reduces the overall performance of the entire pack. A grid charger can restore the balance by discharging the pack uniformly and then charging it back to it’s maximum potential. And this isn’t something you have to do every day either, t’s like a maintenance item that you can perform every two or three months and can be done overnight. In addition to the grid charger itself, he car needs a harness to connect it to the battery pack. This car has a Hybrid Revolt grid charger harness as well as an extension harness that places the plug-in port at a convenient location at the back of the cargo area. (Grid charger itself not included.) The harness with the extension and the labor to install it, hich requires the removal of the battery pack, ould cost close to $500. While the harness was made for a Genesis One or Hybrid Revolt charger, n adaptor cable can connect most any brand of grid charger, ven a homebuilt model, o the car. Contact Hybrid Revolt for details.

This car also has the brake switch modification that lets you get maximum regeneration while coasting without having to step on the brake pedal. Plus it can keep the AutoStop function on longer and shut off assist manually. The IMA recharges the battery whenever the car is coasting or you step on the brakes. The amount of regen is greater when you use the brakes and many drivers can achieve maximum regeneration by just lightly stepping on the brake pedal but before there is any actual momentum robbing braking action at the wheels. It can be a fine line between allowing the car to regen with the brake pedal without actually slowing it down by energy wasting braking. The brake switch mod simulates stepping on the brakes but no actual braking action is utilized, y holding down the momentary switch mounted conveniently in the center console where your right hand can rest comfortably on the handbrake. This mod also allows you to take your foot off the brake at a stop light and still keep the AutoStop engaged, The brakes have a line-lock feature a.k.a. Hill Holder that lightly keeps brake pressure in the system during AutoStop.) plus allow you to coast with AutoStop engaged for short distances. The assist off function shuts off assist from the IMA and it can save battery assist for times when you want to use it most. In other words, ave up the assist for when you climb a long uphill grade by not using it during moderate hills. Hold the switch down during assist and the assist will be disabled.

This is the first Insight I’m selling this year and have sold six others over the last two years. At a Buy It Now Price of $5,995 and the reserve at a little less, lus up to $500 worth of new tires as icing on the cake, his is the best deal out of them all. I sold this RED Insight having 182,000 miles with Buy It Now within 48 hours of the start of the auction in April 2014 for $5,995. I sold this SILVER Insight with 157,000 miles after the auction ended in July 2014 for $6,200. I sold this CITRUS Insight with 192,000 miles through an internet forum in July 2014 for $7,000. I sold this SILVER Insight with Buy It Now in September 2014 for $6,995. I sold this WHITE Insight with over 200,000 miles before the auction ended in May 2015 for $6,295. And I sold this RED Insight which was a previous salvage vehicle for $4,995 here last November.

It’s no secret that Honda lost money on every one of the early Insight models it sold but that was the price to pay for cutting your teeth on the new technology that wouldn’t pay off for years to come. Some have speculated that it cost Honda upwards of $50,000 to build each Insight, hile Honda insiders put that figure at under $30K. Regardless, he price new of this Honda Insight was $21,740! CLICK HERE to see the original pricing (2003 model shown but same prices), ut because the Insight was a hot model, ost dealers were adding additional market adjustment markups (read rip off), o with tax, itle and tags, ou were lucky if you got ANY change back from your $25,000 bill!

If you are serious about buying an Insight that is ready to drive, his is about as low as they go in this condition. Sure, ou can find many of these cars that look nice and seem like good deals in the $3,000 to $4,000 range, ut if after getting it home you have to spend another $5,000 for a battery, ransmission, ires and other common repairs, t’s no bargain. In addition, ince this car has a grid charger harness, t’s likely the battery in this car will be in better condition than most. Remember, ou can get a great deal on Ebay with prices sometimes way below retail, ut no bidder is going to “steal” a vehicle and no seller is going to give one away either. Also when comparing prices to the other Insights listed for sale, emember the things that you won’t have to spend money on, oon after getting it home. With this car you wont have to spend $1,000 or more on paint or bodywork, ou won’t have to spend $500 on missing wheel spats or underbody panels, ou won’t have to spend $500 for a new set of tires, ou won’t have to spend $300 on a complete front brake service, ou won’t have to spend $300 on a complete rear brake service, ou won’t have to spend $300 on a coolant and brake flush, ou won’t have to spend $300 on a valve adjustment, une-up and filters service and you won’t have to spend $300 on any upcoming scheduled maintenance. With many of the other listings on Ebay, raigslist or on dealers lots, ou’re lucky if they even check the oil before delivery. When comparing this car to the others, lso keep in mind that this car looks and runs excellent, s fully serviced, asn’t been smoked in and is clean inside and out.

If you are looking for a very nice Insight in excellent condition at a good price, hen this car is hard to beat. Also remember that we don’t charge dealer processing fees or document fees that many other listings have for $200 or more and bury in their fine print. And don’t be fooled by some other auctions that are advertised as NO RESERVE and start at $100 or some other low price. Since no dealer is going to risk loosing thousands of dollars if their auction doesn’t bring enough money, ou can be pretty sure he has some “people” bidding on it for him. Especially those auctions that are private listings where it says “User ID kept private.”

There is no possible way to include all minute details and imperfections, owever, believe my listing accurately depicts this vehicle and if there are any issues they are noted in the description. Also remember that a vehicle is made up of thousands of mechanical parts and components and in an older or higher mileage used vehicle a part that is working fine now may go bad the next day, n a week, r a month from now. It’s nearly impossible to tell when a particular part or component will fail as most don’t exhibit prior symptoms, owever, roper preventative maintenance as this car has received, an prevent most problems or breakdowns from happening.
