140,000 miles, 58 lifetime mpg, green(ish) Honda hybrid Insight for sale. IMA light just appeared, indicating need for refurbishing the batteries. Otherwise, car is good operating shape, minor body work needed (or not), plus windshield cracked. I am still driving it, and it starts and runs perfectly. 60 mpg over the last month. I am second owner, have driven it for 9 years and put 110,000 miles on it in desert/mountain driving. $2,000 obo.

Manual or CVT?

Feelasopher · 11-24-2013, 01:21 PM

Manual, 5 speed. No cruise control.

I would be all over this if you were closer. If you were willing to meet in the middle-ish of New Mexico, I might be interested.

So I talked to my wife and she gave me a solid maybe.

Have you had it checked to make sure that the only thing damaged when you were rearended was the bumper cover? Where is the crack in the windshield and how bad is it? Any other issues? Do you have the maintenance history? More pictures would be nice, especially to see the interior condition.

I'm in El Paso. Four Corners area would be doable but it would have to be in a few weeks unless you could meet in the middle.

That would be tough for me right now, but if something comes up that heads me in that direction, I'll drop you a line.

I could do the full trip probably 3 weekends from now, if you could wait that long.

Feelasopher · 11-24-2013, 03:27 PM

I could wait the 3 weeks if you can come to a conclusion about your interest before then, based of course on much more extensive pics I could send you of the specific areas your mentioned and other concerns. I could meet you in Farmington NM. That's the best I can promise for meeting right now, the holidays approaching.

Please send me an email where I could send windshield, interior, rear end pics, etc., plus a more detailed discussion of what has been maintained and when. If that's not possible, I'll try to post additional ones on the forum, but I can't figure out how to post pics off a PM. In fact, thanks to RustyLugNut, I just figured out what a PM was!
