I just bought a 1g Insight, and I'm impressed with parts availability. Honda had an oil pan in their warehouse, with next-day availabilty. Salvage parts are hard to come by, but they're out there.
Many parts are interchangable with the Civic or S2000. Other parts are easy enough to repair (like the battery pack). 1-800-Radiator happens to be located in my hometown, and they have an Insight radiator in their catalog. I presume it's made-to-order.
As far as technicians to work on the Insight, I don't see that as being a problem. The hybrid components need to be serviced by someone who fully understands hybrids, but everything else on the car should already be familiar to the average greasemonkey or gearhead.
