I have been looking for a used Insight in the So Cal area, and i recently found one that i am considering. Most of the Insights in SoCal are automatic, so it has been hard to find one.

Anyways, the LMPG on the Insight in question is 48.8mpg, so I am concerned that the car has been driven too hard. Also, with such a low LMPG, I am concerned that the battery pack is likely to fail sooner than later.

Anyways, any advice would be great...

I bought my '01 with just under 60k with a similar LMPG. Less than six months later, the battery pack failed and was replaced under warranty. With almost 80k on the car you're looking at, I would urge caution.

Insight gurus: Is it possible to purchase an extended warranty for a car like this before piling up any more miles?
