That might be coming north, as long as it's a 5 speed.

PS it's a CVT. Too bad. From reading the ad, the seller has no clue what it is. There is a dealership/auction sticker in the windshield, probably from wherever he got it from. And the steel wheel with a snow tire on it screams "salvage yard score" - some jackass plowed it into a curb, squared off the Insight rim, and borrowed a Civic wheel to get him back on the road. If you look at this car, please do yourself a favor and check the status of the title. My advice is free, so take it for what it's worth!

Take a real close look at the passenger side front suspension. These cars are all aluminum, so if someone hit something hard enough to hurt the factory Insight wheel, then there could be some issues with the A-arms etc. I'd ask the seller if they had the wheel for the front of it. If they do, and it's not messed up, then maybe someone just replaced a bad tire with a snowtire to get them around. But if they don't, then you'd have to wonder where the proper one went. Cripes it's almost like I do this a lot or something ha ha.
