A big question for me and a reason why I'm not willing to invest in a Insight, is do you put enough miles on a car per year to make it worth while?
I would also be wary of doing body work on a vehicle with an all aluminum frame and body, because you can't pound dents out in the same way, that is part of why if I was faced with two low cost Honda Insights, one with body damage and one with battery issues, I would go for the one with battery issues, they will both take a lot of time and thus outsourcing the repairs will cost a bit, but if you are willing to learn how to refurbish a battery pack you can save your self a ton of money.
