You could also look into a later model Insight. Discontinued models always have a poorer resale price, which let's you get more car for your dollar. They stopped making them in 2014, and had a lot of sales incentives to clear them out. Check out pricing on 2010 and newer ones in your area, you might find a deal. In fact, the closer you get to a 2014, the better deal you might find. The last production year of a car can be a real score, the whole "Honda didn't even want to make these anymore, they must suck" stigma can save you some money. People that have the money to buy a near new used car want something that is current, they don't want something that failed, so no car dealer is going to want one on their lot.
