Description:
Selling my 2001 Japanese import cvt insight.
Unlike a UK CVT, these feature lean burn, which results in amazing economy!
I've managed 92mpg over a 110mile trip!
This matches UK manual car economy!
The car runs faultlessly. It starts fine, goes fine and achieves amazing economy.
It needs for nothing, just works as it should.
Showing around 95k miles.
MOT is til the end of May.
Within the last 500miles the car has had;
Correct OEM 0w20 Oil and OEM oil filter (drain plug washer also changed)
CVT oil changed (genuine OEM CVT oil used)
air filter cleaned (it looked like new!)
Cabin filter (again genuine honda)
Spark plugs (B plugs, again genuine honda. Correct indexed plugs)
New Bosch battery was fitted last week, the old Japanese battery was 5yrs plus old and I changed out of routine.
I also checked valve clearances and all are set to bang in middle of spec, I can talk anyone through this and probably have pictures with rocker cover off to proove I've dome this!
I'm an aircraft engineer, all work is carried out by myself to a high standard.
The car needs nothing, it just works as honda intended!
I have a few receipts from honda for previous oil changes and some service documents
As far as I know, battery is original. It could have been changed in japan pre import (came over 200. It works perfectly, discharges and charges as normal. Appears to regen and assist fine no signs of problems at all.
The car has a couple of small scuffs and scratches, but is very presentable.
The wheels have a bit of corrosion, I think they'd polish up okay and I may have a go before sale.
Drivers seat material is a bit worn, but no more than usual at this mileage.
Both drivers and passenger side honda OEM insight mats are present.
Car is fitted with a DAB radio and optional rear speakers fitted.
Also has air con!
Immobiliser is also fitted with certificate present.
Four Michelin Eco tyres are fitted in correct size and have LOADS of tread left.
Under the bonnet is also very clean!
Any questions, please ask - my email is jakescanes@yahoo.co.uk
One previous owner to me since import who was also an enthusiast.
I'm looking for £3250.
I believe this reflects the recent work having been done, and the quality of the car.
Cash talks, and I'd like the car sold. I'm open to sensible offers.
I'm a honda enthusiast, also having an accord and crv in the household.
Also a previous ek9 owners, now owned by tenz78 on here.
Thanks, jake
