good day. i'd like to thank all who weighed in with buying advice. i purchased an insight yesterday (oct. 12)
. i bought a honda certified 2003 with 32,625 miles (florida car). i had to drive a-ways to get it - about 5 hours - but i'm sure it'll be worth it. on the trip back, i made 75 MPG, which i think is unreal.
now that the dust has settled and i've really, really scrutinized it, i found something on the exterior that i somehow overlooked before purchasing. seems someone ran a bead of clear silicone in the roof line gap just over the right side of the driver's door. and it's just on the driver's side. should i be concerned about this? the car doesn't smell musty or anything to suggest a leak. why else would it be there? the car also didn't come with any mats. the salesman said that insights didn't come with them while still in production. he tried to give the previous owner's mats, which had the tazmanian devil on them. i said, "yeah, thanks, but i don't think so." should i have received mats? and are the "taz mats" an indication that the previous owner was a nut? thanks.
