What a drag...cant find these anywhere for a decent price. They are skyrocketing in value. Well if anyone knows of a fair deal near Michigan please let me know. Id prefer under 100K miles, everything else Im open too.

For the first time since I've been tracking his inventory (2003) even the king of the Certified Used Honda Hybrids has NOT ONE Insight on the lot! You can view his hybrid inventory here:

I remember last week there was one for about $11k with over 180,000 miles and its now gone. I regularly check autotrader.com as well as eBay and there are very few to choose from. If I hear of any Insights floating around, I will definitely post them here. I'm definitely glad I got mine in 2005 just before gas hit $3 for the first time. It's definitely worth more now than when I bought it.

I found this link a few weeks ago. The cars come & go, but maybe something near you will show up. Good luck.

Yes I did find a few on there but they were either TX or Cal. to far away. But thanks for the help...

I also have my name in the Honda dealership waiting for an Insight, its been 6 months, nothing. I have a gut feeling when these come in, dealerships are scarfing them up and reselling at a tidy profit.

That could very well be. I used vast.com to locate my Insight. It took me about 1.5mo of watching the list (sorted by date so I could catch new listings right away) like a hawk. I called on the one I have now and they'd had it since the night before. It was in Portland! I talked the guy through what I wanted checked and then told him I wanted it.

I had to truck it in but it has DEFINITELY been worth it.

I can't tell you how many I called on only to find that I'd just missed the car by a little bit. Don't give up!
