Do roads get salted there? Look at the brake lines and the fuel lines, see if they are rusty.
The passenger side rattle could be the front anti-sway link bar. Moog makes a superior replacement for those for only about $50.
$3500 might be fair. Insights seem to sell higher in the USA than in Canada. An Insight in better condition and lower mileage with a good IMA won't sell for $3500 worthless Canadian petro dollars here in Ontario, but you're in Missouri.

yes we have salted roads but usually not as bad as other northern states. To the dealers knowledge the battery has never been replaced, so one can assume is OEM and therefore 12 years old, have seen it sitting on their lot for at least a month or more. they have had it for at least that long if not longer
