2005 Insight 4500 miles!

Marthy · 05-05-2011, 01:21 PM

Hey guys, I found a 2005 Insight silver in a "barn" with barelly over 4500 miles. It look like it just rool out the dealership showroom! I have no idea how much it might worth.

Not quite sure if I want to buy it yet, I just want to have your opinion on this one. After all, some of you are the experts...

Automatic... just got the Honda Dealer maintenance stamp at 4200 miles.

Thanks.

WOW.

Where and how did you find it?

Manual transmission?

Someone else here is trying to sell an '00 with 12k miles for 19k, which is WAYYY too much.

I imagine it should be worth 13-16k.

The car is in West Palm Beach, Fl. Probably previously own by snow bird for seasonal driver.

Except the saving gas thing... What are the pro& con about those car? I'm sure this site is the best place to ask question! I'm keeping this car as a secret for now. If I don't get it I will let you know...

The pros are excellent fuel economy.

The cons are that it's a small, quirky car.

Ah. Automatic. The CVT Insights don't get as good of fuel economy as the manual transmission versions, and thus are less desirable.

There is a "ton" of information here at ICN. All you have to do is take some time and "Search". Don't wait for the specifics to come to you.

do you know what was his asking price? Seeing how it seems to be a classic car dealer from the email address, the price may be really high.

I saw the add in the local newspaper a little while ago. Since my wife is going back to school full time starting next week, I'm out...

Not sure about out the door price. I stop by and look at the car but the salesman wasn't there. The mechanic let me look at the car and we took it for a spin around the block. Ran great! My guess is if anyone is serious, contact them.

All I'm saying is the car is just like brand new! It's a hell of a good deal... not so many of those in this condition anymore... I would have bought it....$$$

If they don't sell it, I might give it a try maybe later on... but I can't see that car sitting there for long...
