On the verge of Insight ownership! UPDATE: bought it - 2004 CVT

Bought it yesterday for $2K after verifying (via VIN) the IMA batt was still covered! Thanks to all of you for supplying the info.
Special thanks to "Old Mech" specifically for pointing out the extended warranty on the IMA batt!
Before I pulled the trigger I had a buddy check the CARFAX, which was great - all maintenance done at Honda and no salvage title.
Also, the VIN checks out at the dealership - it's covered!

I think I've finally found a FrankenInsight I can work with but I'd like to hear what you guys think. It's a 2004 CVT with 126K, moderately damaged front bumper, an engine guard panel underneath that's hanging down, cracked windshield, a few small dents on the hood, small dent to the roof, check engine light on, and battery light on.
Although I think I'd rather have a manual tranny, I drove this one. Seems to drive pretty darn well just on the engine alone.
Started at $4K. Currently at $2,500.
All "insights" welcome!
