Default 2000 insight

Hi, we own a 2006 Civic Hybrid and are so happy I want a 2nd hybrid. I found a 2000 Insight with 71000 on it. Has 5 spd and no AC. It's from a Toyota dealer who took it on trade so I guess they know hybrids at least. I'm wondering whats a fair price and about the battery and reliability at this point. I am so hooked on hybrids after the first and we need another car. Thanks in advance

Do you know the lifetime mpg? I'd prefer 55mpg - 50 might be OK, wonder about the condition of the batteries and car if it's less than 50mpg. It probably would go for less than 10K. Battery coverage would be a big issue

Be careful with that warranty. Odds are there is a mileage cap as well.

Click on the link in the post from IMAhybrid, just above yours.

Or, here is the link in case you missed it.
http://www.insightcentral.net/forum/...pic.php?t=4796

In all 50 states, "... the warranty for the IMA battery has been extended to 10 years of 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first. "

Yes, the warranty stays with the car no matter who owns it.
