War_Wagon · 04-07-2011, 08:13 PM

Sorry, I am in such a good mood I need to gloat a bit! Just got a 2000 Insight for $1500! Has 369,000 kms on it, but hey I'll take it. So, what to do now? What is the best way to figure out if the charging system/battery is in good shape? Is there anything else I should look for on it? I will have to sell off the fleet of other F.E. friendly vehicles I have been hoarding, as I am pretty sure this will be the best choice. Any insight on the Insight on what the next step is? (Pun totally intentional)
