--------------------------------------------
Modified 2001 Honda Insight MT New Formula Red. 87K mi. / 140K km. #22 6/'00 (Canada). Gasoline / Electric Hybrid.
---------------------------------------------
I bought this car in Ontario and imported id to Québec, it passed inspection easily and I put some Potenza RE92 on it because it was sold with really crappy chinese tires 175/65/14 not 165/65/14.
Really good condition
interior is mint.
Engine bay is oil shooted and really clean.
only 84k mile on the car and everything feels newer than my grey insight.
Good engine and tranny mounts, rear mount is going.
Window tint in the rear.
No block heater
A/C blow ice cold
No Honda Security System
Plastidipped roof, mirrors and hatch spoiler. |
