OTOH, you don't know exactly what was missing. Axles? A/C? Is the harness intact? Motor mounts? All of these things add up, because there are no aftermarket motor mounts (and probably no axles) for the Insight.
Its sold. But, from the ad it only needed an engine and trans... I took a look at a used car part website and found engines for $700 and transmissions for $500. It probably would have needed another $500-1000 in misc parts.
