If anyone is interested 1st gen Insights can be had for $1,500-$3,500 depending on condition. They pop up all over craigslist with IMA lights out of warranty and owners not wanting to buy a new battery. There are some good ones selling a little low, but they don't last long.
If you live in close proximity to the seller you have an advantage. Generally the "Vultures" over there live out of state, and would have to ship a car or drive it hundreds of miles back home. It's quite a process that leaves an opening for anybody living close by to offer cash and walk away with it.
