depending on mileage, that Insight looks like a great deal. insights are pretty much the same from 2000 to 2006. in fact, 2005, and 2006 cant do the "calpod" mod (enables you to run the car w/o the battery, just on motor); which is a big disadvantage. i have a 2006 Insight and I had to install MIMA to get full control of the battery.
the later model HX's are not quite as efficient as the earlier ones; hence why i bought a 2000 HX instead of a newer one. tho is VERY hard to find an HX out there with less than 150k miles.
the Insight is a great fuel eco car. much better than the HX, but the HX is also semi 'fast', you can have SOME fun in an HX........ not with the Insight tho, its simply WAY (and i mean WAY) too slow to do anything but hypermile
