THE LAST THING YOU NEED TO OWN IS AN INSIGHT THAT WILL NOT DRIVE. How much money are you paying for the car?

Highly unlikely you will find someone that qualifies for that statement. Probably take 20+ calls.
Wholeheartedly agree with the second bit there.

My profession for the last 32 years has been somebody who people pay to buy used cars and new cars. And given the low $1000 price tag, most very cheap cars end up being far more expensive than the frugal buyer could have ever expected. it's better to spend more money for a better vehicle that's going to require less work after the purchase then to go after a really cheap car that could turn into a money pit

That is doubly true for a hybrid.
The only people that should own an insight are those passionate about them and are not necessarily in need of cheap, reliable transportation.
