WTB: 1st gen Insight in Minnesota

Phalanx · 06-24-2011, 10:27 PM

Hi,

I am looking for a 1st gen Insight for my girl. The car must be in good running condition and has auto transmission since she can't drive a stick. I am in Minnesota. If you or anyone that you know is interested in selling their 1st gen Insight, please contact me through email viet_metal_rock@yahoo.com

Thanks,

I suggest your expand your search from sea to shining sea.

As you've already found out, these are rare cars. You could literally wait years to find a suitable one in your state.

It is not uncommon to fly to a car, or drive with a partner, and drive it home. Or have it shipped.

Try this site (I found mine this way):

As Eli says, it's not uncommon to fly to a car. I just did a couple of months back. Drove it home the same day from Seattle to Sacramento - Worth it to me.

Some sites that help:

Yahoo eBay AutoTrader CraigsList InsightCentral Cars UsedCars CarMax Vehix AOL OverStock LemonFree GetAuto KBB CarsDirect Vast CoPart

I setup a google alert that checked all CraigsList sites across the US. I really only wanted to drive within the Western States however.

Post other questions you might have - as this will help others as well.

Hope you find a great car!

Believe me, I tried them all.

Cars.com, carsoup, autotrader, Craigslist, ebay, Honda forums...

And still haven't found any reasonable deal yet. I wish the 2nd gen is just as good as 1st gen in gas mileage perspective then I wouldn't have to look for a 1st gen so hard like this.

Good deals... not yet.. these lower gas prices might help.. I got my fingers crossed

A Miata is a better car than an Insight in SO many ways, but fuel mileage isn't one of them!

Keep searching!

I've never seen so many Insights for under $3K. something seems fishy. Let us know how this turns out.
