Hybrid-Electric

I am the second owner of this vehicle and it has always been smoke-free. It also comes with a grid charger and harness already installed so that you can maintain the hybrid battery pack by plugging it in to an outlet in your garage every other month or so. In the event that the IMA light comes on, simply plug in the vehicle overnight, then disconnect the front end battery for a few seconds and then reconnect to reset the light and you are good to go. This only happens if you fail to drive the vehicle for long periods of time or you go many months without plugging it in to your house to keep the cells aligned. This vehicle is unique in that it is the first generation so you can disconnect the hybrid battery pack and run it off just the front end battery and still get 40 mpg. You can read all about this on insight forums online. The hybrid battery was replaced by Honda in 2009.Has original carpets and seats show minor wear and mild stains that a good detail will easily take care of. All knobs, lights, and panels are present and work exactly as they should. A/C and heat both work. Exterior has very minor scratches near the bumper and wear on the rear tire skirts.The car has never been in an accident but did have the back right panel completely replaced due to a dent that could not be removed. This work was done by a Honda body shop as my insurance paid for it.This vehicle is in good condition and was used as my daily commuter of approximately 50 miles a day. It will need 2 new tires as soon as possible on the rear end. The doughnut spare tire has been replaced with a full size bridgestone potenza with some wear on a full size rim mounted and balanced, ready for install in case of an emergency. It has a very slow oil leak that needs to be addressed in the near future. The trunk actuator needs to be replaced because the trunk will only open with the key and will not work with the remote. Recent work done includes a brand new radiator, a new front end battery, new clutch slave and master cylinders, all bulbs on the front end replaced, a new key fob programmed to the vehicle all done in 2015. Front and rear brakes were also replaced recently.All work was done at a Honda dealership with the exception of the radiator.If you have any questions regarding the vehicle, please feel free to message me.You make your own arrangements for pickup or shipment.A $500 down payment made via Paypal is due within 48 hours of winning the auction. The remainder shall be paid in the form of a cashier's check.
