2000 Honda Insight with 152000 miles. Clean Texas title in my name in hand. The car runs and drives just as it should. Every thing works. It gets great MPG !

The interior shows ok there are a few spots on drivers side where the carpet is warn. the dash, seats and cargo area are all in good shape
The outside looks very nice with a few chips on hood, mirrors and bumpers with a ding on the right rear 1/4 by the wheel about the size of a nickel.

Mechanical the only problem to note is that it grinds when downshifting to second gear above 20mph all of the upshifting works great. Most Insights 2000-2006 have the downshifting issue for more info :

Over all nice little Honda Insight
