This is a problem that has been solved in other contexts. Solutions from there could be applied in this case.
There are currently independent shops that specialize in cars that were made in relatively small numbers (e.g., Ferrari). So if there are enough Insight-I owners out there who don't mind paying top dollar for someone who knows their particular car very well, there will be shops to support them. And there will be people who come up with decent ways to substitute more modern parts for old ones that wear out (e.g., supercapacitors for when the battery packs are all dead--even the used ones).
So the price of keeping one around will go up, probably quite a bit, but I would think that they won't completely disappear.
IMHO, of course!
