Default 2005 Red Insight 5-speed 84.1 LMPG 55k mi

Sold!

I've decided to sell my insight after three and a half years of ownership. I've only put on 16,000 miles in that time and just don't drive her much anymore. The car has history attached to it, it is the car Bill Kinney (I think Billy was his ID here) bought and customized to win the 2006 and 2007 MPG challenge at Hybridfest. The most notable mods I can think of are:

Custom painted on graphics
Shaved mirrors and rear view camera
Aftermarket Cruise Control
Hot air intake (helps it to get into lean burn)
Radiator bug screen and Radiator Block (Rad Block)
Pioneer speakers all around with Sony 500w 4-channel amp
Clarion CD tuner with bluetooth cell interface, I-pod and USB port, serius/xm ready
Tinted rear windows
200 milliamp balancing charger on hybrid battery pack (almost eliminates re-calibrations)
Dynamat Extreme sound dampening added to spare tire well. (cuts down road noise)

The Lifetime MPG is 84.1 and I've had 250 mile trips as good as 103.7 mpg on a hot day averaging 60 mph. Bill spent three hours training me how to get the most out of the car when I bought it and I'll offer to do the same for the next owner.

The car is in fantastic condition overall. It has the normal road rash on the front bumper and hood. No door dings or dents. One rim has a scratch on it. The tires probably have 10k mi left in them and I have two brand new Bridgestone RE-90's that will go with the car. Also included is the original mirrors, spare air and cabin filters, new set of spark plugs, two oil filters, a full Honda service manual and all documentation for the aftermarket parts.

Here's a few pictures and I'll try to get all the pictures I have into a photobucket album in the next day or two and post a link.

Feel free to ask questions through here or call me at 707-319-1946. The car is in Mount Shasta, CA and I travel to San Francisco bay area every other week.

I'm asking $11,000 and offering it up on the forum here first.
