found new home for Insight

[aerohead]

Last night I sold my 2000 Insight to a next-door neighbor's son, Ben.
We'd talked about it at the communities' Easter pot-luck dinner.
Rather than put money into the hybrid, I've elected to go BEV, and have been squirreling away a chunk of each month's income for a used EV.
Ben has been self-educating on electronics and is confident that he can navigate the Honda IMA. He's going to document the project with a series of You-Tube presentations. He's stoked. I'm relieved.
I got the car from a neighbor we lost to ALS. This will keep the car within the 'family.'
And the cash from the sale goes directly into the BEV fund, which puts me a little closer to a purchase.
A win-win!

I didn't even realize you had an Insight. Do you still have the Karmann Ghia?

Do you plan on buying new or used?

I seen that NADA midbook on my 1971 Superbeetle approximates the purchase price of an Arcimoto FUV minus the Oregon state rebate. I could use the monies from the sale of the Dasher to refresh the engine and replace two fenders.

The mechanic I want to do the work isn't returning my phone calls., I think I'll drive out there this afternoon.

1) I think I posted about that in 2017.
2) Still have Ghia, and it's going too, as well as everything else but the T-100.
3) I mentioned that it will be 'used' EV.

A closer reading confirms the mention.

I'm hoping to package the 1958 Baja, 5-speed transaxle and stroker 1776 as a single sale, but I think the guy really wants the Superbeetle.

That should fetch $3-4K. ....so $2-3K is likely.
