As always, the warranty is transferable to the new owner. We just need an email from the old owner to officially notify us.

I think that I and a few others would probably disagree with you.

I went up to take a look at this car yesterday. I just wanted to mention a couple things that I think a potential buyer should be aware of BEFORE they drive a possibly significant distance to look at the car.

- The passenger seat has a couple of small (<1cm) burns through the cloth from what the seller says came from a cigar, since the individual who drove it smoked cigars
- The windshield has a ~1cm crack on the driver's side. The seller expressed surprise when I pointed it out, so apparently it is new. He also mentioned that he has a relationship with a windshield repair shop a couple buildings down (the car is located in a warehouse), so he will have that sealed before he sells it.
- When I was driving the car, I noticed an intermittent clicking noise at low RPMs that seemed in sync with the engine speed (while idling it was noticeable, and when I applied gas the frequency of the clicks increased before the noise went away). I wish I had played around with the car's systems to see if I could find the source of the noise, but I didn't. The seller claimed to have never heard any noises, but it was definitely there.

Default its a 2001, its not perfect

but however, I drove the car over 100 miles today, with a friend, windows down, and can't here this clicking, so I have no idea (I didn't go on his test drive) The tiny stone chip in windshield, has been repaired. This potential buyer is up set because we refused his low ball offer. However, he failed to mention that. Thanks

Valve "tick" is common on the Insight engine. A proper valve adjustment will do wonders as a cure.
What was the lowball offer?
