Thanks for all the photos, the car looks reasonable, but it obviously showing its age, stone chips and scuffs etc. Two questions - are the front seat cover removable for cleaning? And, I was thinking of flying up to view if you are near either Glasgow or Edinburgh?

Hi. I think that the bigger scratches might polish out. I have a friend who owns a valeting business so I'll drop the car with him and get him to clean the seats and see what he can do re the scratches. I'll get him to do a full in and out valet and wax and polish. I'll get all that done before you decide to come up so you can make your mind up with all the info.

I live about 20 mins from Edinburgh airport and will happily pick you up. I'm heading down to Leicester tomorrow for work and will be back on Thursday evening so I'll see if I can get the car done whilst I'm away. I'll post up more pictures once it's done.

Hope this helps.

Hi Clanny, I've given this some thought and been looking at prices for Insights. There is one on eBay with a dealer at the mo, lower mileage than yours and supposedly unmarked bodywork, which they have just agreed a sale on at £2990. On this basis I would like to offer you £2250, given that its a private sale without warrantee etc that the dealer would offer and your mileage is quite a lot more. If you are agreeable I would fly up to Edinburgh, say, Tuesday next week and meet you, with cash and providing we are both happy, return south in the car. This on the basis that you have the car valeted and the scratches dealt with as you suggest. What do you think? f

Hi there. Thanks for the offer but I've already been offered over £3 as a trade-in against a car that I really like (although it's a little more than I was looking to spend). In light of the trade-in offer, I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline your offer. If you want to discuss a further offer, let me know and I'll pm you my number. Thanks.

Hello again. I'm afraid it doesn't make sense to offer more from my point of view, I'm going for another at 77K miles. Hope you enjoy your new car.

Man, I just love that light blue color. Why Honda, why couldn't you have given us such a beautiful blue color here in the states.

Hi there. Thanks for letting me know. I hope you're successful getting the 77k insight - that's a rare find! They're superb cars and I'm sure you'll love it. Theres one on eBay at the moment with 270,000 miles which proves that these cars are more than capable of doing enormous miles.
