I just recieved an email from the man who purchased my 02 Insight, which I drove 35k miles and had almost as much warranty work, as the car was worth, done to it. He bought it 4.5 years ago.

He thanked me for selling him such a nice car and he had no problems with anything unexpected. He commutes about 35 miles to work each way and has averaged 60 MPG, slightly less that I did when I owned it but I did not have to commute in the traffic you can get around here.

I was glad to hear how much he enjoyed the car and that he was kind enough to let me know that.

Even with no issues whatsoever he still had about 5 cents a mile in depreciation and with the average fuel economy almost twice the Sentra, he would still be above the 8cents a mile currently calculated for the Sentra.

That does not include any maintenance, tires, taxes, insurance or registration fees.
