Reason: Car has been Sold
Yeah those are some good miles and I have no doubt someone can push it well past 400k pretty easy. I’ve done my part and figured I’d give someone else a turn
Thanks for the advice on the pictures, I stepped up the size a little for the posting and have higher resolution pictures available via private email for anyone interested. I had the exterior pictures with me so I updated those right away and I’ll update the interior pictures soon.
Yup, it’s still for sale...sit’n in the garage right now. It’s got a little wear and tear but it’s had a pretty gentle existence under my watch. I took care of it and it’s been good to me.
Just updated the interior picture to a larger size...I’ve got more pictures if you’re interested.
Could you list what was fixed on the car, along with pics? I'm looking for an Insight for my wife. It makes repairs/maintenance easier if you're dealing with the same make/model...
Not sure what you’re looking for here…aside from having the IMA (battery pack) replaced and routine maintenance the car hasn’t had any repair work done to it. Over ten years it’s had multiple brake jobs, tires, oil changes, air filters, cabin filters, an engine belt along with the belt idler pulley replaced, the cooling system has been flushed, a wiper arm linkage replaced, and I believe the ECU was replaced early on under warranty. Other then little bits and pieces here and there the car is all original. If there’s something specific that you want a picture of or more information on shoot me an email and I’ll get it to you straight away.
Has the LMPG been reset or is it correct for lifetime miles on car? I would not be afraid of this car one bit. If I could talk the wife into it, I'd get this one for her so we could have 2 of these over 400k miles.

Nothing has been reset, falsified, or faked on this car...everything is actual. If it helps you talk your wife into it I just dropped the price to $3900 this week. Shoot me an email or give me a call if you need more information or want to look it over and drive it. You can reach me at: 248.943.5626
I don't see the crack in the windshield. Is it visible in the pictures?
