I've just gotten off the telephone with an individual who's selling his Insight. Here are the relevant facts
2001 Insight w/ AT, AC, PS, rear defrost/wiper, 6 disc CD & changer, power windows, extended transferable warranty. 38,000 miles
He's asking $11,000 for the vehicle. I expect to test drive it this weekend. He's the original owner, and needs to sell due to a growing family.
My questions are:
1. This seems like a reasonable price, but I expect he would be negotiable to some degree. How good or bad is it?
2. When looking the vehicle over, what should I pay close attention to, beyond the usual things regarding the mechanics that would apply to any vehicle?
3. Given that there's an extended warranty, that does ease my mind somewhat, but I would like to be able to take it to a dealer and have their mechs give it an inspection.
Any feedback would be helpful. This will be a second car, but probably my primary commuting vehicle. (I live near my office, and have only a 2 mile commute.)
Thanks,
Semmes
