Wise words from our Denver member. What I forgot to mention is that I live in Arizona and couldn't find an Insight for sale here. I purchased mine in California, located 15 minutes from where family lives, paying a local Honda Dealer to go through it and having my wonderful Father conclude the sale for me, just "in the nick of time". Checking the local newspapers there, there isn't a used Insight or Prius to be found in the classifieds. Did find 2004 Civic Hybrid though, priced $5,000 more than a new 2005 (non-hybrid) Civic. Whether by luck or smarts, if you have a hybrid now, hang on to it, but you should keep it 'clubbed' (anti-theft devices) if you want to keep it!
