WTB: 5 Speed Insight
Hello Ecomodders!
Long time no see. :turtle: I recently saw a Honda Insight for sale in Maryland. Even with a blown transmission, I thought it was appealing as I've been wanting one since at least 2008 and I was going to go through with it. By the time I decided to purchase it it had sold and I'm having trouble finding another. So I thought I would put a feeler here: Looking for a 5 speed Honda Insight. Transmission issues OK. Prefer a good body. I'm OK having to grid charge the battery as well. I'm in WV, near Pittsburgh. Yes I realize this is probably the worse possible time to come looking. Oh well. :o |
Easiest to find one with a good drivetrain and a bad body.
Unless you want to big $$$$ |

Clear coat peels but most old cars have cosmetics or outright body damage

I've got one I'm probably going to have to give up.
It'll run about a week between grid charges, but the battery is pretty close to dying (OEM cells from 2000!). Transmission has no grind (replaced with a 58k mile junkyard unit about 20k miles ago, but it's weirdly stiff going into 4th. I think one of the ball detents is frozen up from sitting at the junkyard. 4th is useless anyway). Equipped with an OBDIIC&C, Scott's upgraded springs, the aluminum under tray, hardwired retepsnikrep IMAC&C, and an old school basic grid charger, and an under-seat sub/amp setup. The clearcoat on top is trashed though. |
Clear coat and battery issues is OK with me.
I expected it based on ones I've seen for sale. I'll shoot a PM. |
Pending.
