Default 2003 23k Mile Insight May Be On It's Way To Me

Hopefully I'll soon be the owner of a 23,000 mile 2003 Honda Insight in a nice metallic grey...... details to follow.

Fingers crossed for you Mark, sounds good. Where was it advertised? Does it have the newer interior?

Pics will be forthcoming soon.

I've agreed to purchase unseen, subject to being satisfied with the photo's that arrive this week. Then all I need to do is collect from Wigan, it's very much a case of trusting the seller, got a good vibe when talking to him though, he's had a couple of Insights.

Says it drives like a new car, with only 23k on the clock it should really too. Having a scuff on the front & rear bumper resprayed as I type this, so all I can do is wait patiently.

Default Too easy

Hi Mark.

So what's the plan? Having seen the super job you did with the blue one, surely there's nothing much to fix on such a clean low mileage example?? I had you down as someone who likes a challenge... (understatement of the year)
