Just think for a second. I’m a car enthusiast and when back in 2000 I read about the Honda Insight and the 70MPG I was trilled to get one. But after some time I found one in a Honda Dealer and was advertised for $21K. I said to myself “WOW” I like the car, I love the car but baby I won’t spend $21K, for that kinda of investment I would buy a civic basic edition save same money and don’t worry about the batteries, which at the time was $5K/$6K. And again today nine years later they are way more affordable but unfortunately Honda did not sale many of Insights. So you get one of this but parts are way too expensive for FE car. EGR Valve $167, Oxygen Sensor $200, LRR tires four for $400, Clutch min $300, BATT replacement with aftermarket ones min $750. So one replacement of each of this parts is $2K with out the labor, tax and nerves. Just check the Zombie Project Insight tread the guy started with $2000 salvage insight end up spending close to $5000 in total for parts and parts.
