All,
I'm currently in the market for a used insight and i've been looking in the local Southern California (LA) market. I came across a Red 2000 insight with a CA HOV sticker. The owner said she just applied for it in 2001 and got it. The sticker has a diamond and says "Access OK, California clean air vehicle". She showed me the DMV paperwork with her name and car's VIN number on it so it definitely looks legit.
My understanding is that Hybrids don't qualify? Assuming she just got lucky and got her car approved, does anyone know if that "designation" will transfer with title transfer? Either way, the stickers are still there so I'm sure it's still usable even if it doesn't transfer.
She want's $12.5K for her Red 2000 with 25M in PERFECT condition. Which I think is on the high side, but reasonable given the HOV sticker. Only prob is the car does NOT have AC. I'm trying to work out a deal with her to get AC install.
Thoughts anyone?? This is only my second day researching the Insight.
I can't wait to get one. Just got new job and i'm commuting 100 miles a day RT.
