I already talked to this guy in south Florida, and I'm pretty sure he'd let this Insight go for 1500 bucks, maybe even less. I was considering getting it to add to the fleet, but overspent on Christmas so I'll have to pass:

Yeah. That is super tempting lol.. Ideally I'm looking for an auto trans since it would be the wife's main car, with me driving it on the weekends (I have to have my truck for work). She has no desire to learn a standard trans, therefore I am limited in my ability to expand my eco-fleet, while keeping overall cost's down. It sounds good though

Side note: Low fuel prices also keep me from being able to justify the purchase of an extra vehicle. kind of a catch 22 there unfortunately. Filled up for $1.74/gallon last night.
