Placed my Bet on the Insight
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...iv/WESPICS.jpg
2006 Honda Insight, 5 speed 125,000 miles. I gave 7,999 for it. Picked this up friday. I was surprised at how dirty the air filter was--but it shouldn't be too hard to swap out. I'll probably go ahead and change the oil and give it a new filter. Think I should go ahead and put in new sparkplugs as well? At anyrate, It sure beats driving a v8 truck around as a daily driver:D |
she's a beaut, nice find.

Congrats !

Congrats - you'll have fun with the car. They're capable of incredible numbers, as you know.
What's your commute like? City? Freeway? When you're on the open road, the name of the game is to keep it in lean burn! |

Love the color !
It seems 98% are silver. Is that a repaint or factory color ? It looks almost like a metallic midnight blue. Any chances on more pictures ? |
Nice buy! Look forward to many reports of progress from you.
I like these earlier Insights much better than any Toyota. I really admire the CD figures for your body. Admittedly , when they first came out, I thought they were geeky looking, but now its purity of aero lights me up! |

It's also time to check & adjust valve clearance. Another item to check/replace is the cabin air filter. You have to remove the glove box to get at it, but it's not hard. |

I understand I could have great savings and a quicker payoff if I were driving a 30-40 mpg cash car. But now I can have fun trying to hit 100 mpg and enjoying the hybrid technology. I suspect the first generation Honda Insights may hold their value and even become more valuable collectables in my lifetime. I figure it's a good investment either way :) |
