I have a 2001 Insight w/ over 191,000 miles, 5 speed, A/C, that needs a new home plus a new hybrid battery. It has relatively new front tires. I am the second owner, previous owner lived in Bloomington, In and commuted to Indianapolis, where the vehicle is now located. $1750

Very interested. I'm in Cleveland, Ohio. Is the car driveable? Can you email pics or link to pics? Thanks.

Yes it is driveable, but the check engine light is on w/ the IMA light. Per Ron Hansen of Hybrid Battery Repair if the red battery indicator light comes on you have about 20 miles until you are stranded. I don't know if it would be able to be driven to Cleveland. I have an acquaintance who has a trailer and I have a D3500 so towing it there should not be a problem. I do not have pictures but could e-mail them or post them, give me a few days I have a torn tendon in my foot w/ surgery on Monday. Body is in good shape with a couple of scratches on the rear. The rear passenger fender skirt came off but I have it, just have not reattached it.
