I was planning on purchasing a 2000 insight for $9000 with 44000 miles but then I spoke with my bank and they said they probably wouldnt finance it because there were recalls on this vehicle from 2000-2002. What are these and is there any wan I could still purchase it? Thanks so much for all your help!!!!
Cool, I can answer a question finally and give back a little to the site.
Just this afternoon I purchased a 2000 Insight. Before doing so, I had my Honda service adviser look up any service bulletins would apply to this car. Here they are:
March 6, 2001
Applies to: 2000 Insight from VIN JHMZE1...YT004144 thry JHMZE1...YT005604
Product Update: DC-DC Converter
(Supersedes 00-093, dated November 21, 2000)

2001 Insight with M/T - ALL
Emissions Recall: Insight ECM
March 6, 2001
Applies to: 2000 Insight - ALL
2001 Insight with M/T - From VIN JHMZE1...1T000001 thru JHMZE1...1T001923

March 6, 2001

Any Honda dealer would be able to lookup any car's history given the VIN number and confirm if these issues have been taken care of.
I have these service bulletins. Do you guys have a collection of these somewhere on the site I haven't seen yet? If anyone wants copies, I could scan them.
