I checked out the insight. It was a very shoddy fix. the lights were not flush with the bumper on one side. I could see a screw inbwetween a light and the bumper(the wrong type of screw).

The car seemed to have excess wear on one of the tires which makes me think it's misaligned. So i am done with the insight unless I can get it for like 5500.

I have contacted the owners and have new information that you may be able to deduce better than I what is really going on.


CAR D
A bus driver woman had a mechanic put a ne motor in the car because she didn't change her oil. The new motor put in the car has 100,000 miles on it and the car has 190,000 miles on it. The car was repossessed and he bought it from a bus driver lady in town.

CAR E
She took this car in on a trade. He sold his $14,000 truck and got the pontiac vibe and some cash. He apparently has cancer & needs to pay for his treatments. Now he is selling this car to pay for his cancer treatments. The nice part about this car is the newer parts already on it. It seem around 170,000 this vibe is needing a cat converter.
new cat converter, has newer tires, new battery, new wipers.
It needs a windshield.

CAR F
The car has been regularly serviced, oil changes,air filter,tires rotated, rear brakes new rotors 7000 miles ago, new battery 3 months ago, alternator last year, transmission flushed 4000 miles ago. I have taken good care of the car. The only thing that doesn't work is the horn ( it started sounding funny then quit, so I'm sure it just needs a new horn) but There are no other issues or pending problems with the car. It is tight and drives down the road very good. It has the same motor and body as the Toyota Matrix so parts are readily available for the entire car. If you have any other question give me a call (217) 821-7308 (Effingham,IL)

CAR G
Local car. I bet it will need cat converter soon since he knew nothing about it really. It has brand new brakes.


Those 2 reasons are the reasons I like it as well. Very Very Economical move.
