No Way!
Is it simply because of gas mileage? If so you have the realize that while the trade would cost nothing you could make a lot more by selling the car or parting the performance parts.
Going from a turbo Accord to a hybrid will be like a S2000 to a horse! But if I had an Insight I would trade in a heartbeat! Good luck and make sure you are ready to let it go. Nothing like having the regret of getting rid of a car.
Oh, and if you have any parts you need to get off your hands and out of your garage....let me know! I'm a poor college kid!

Did you see the 2006 Insight on
eBay? The bids are already past $18K. Blue Book is around $14K retail in excellent condition.

Any year 2001 and up with Low miles would work...
I dont have the time and patience to part out the car or I probably would...

Sorry, I traded my 2003 Insight for the 2008 Accord a few months ago. They sold the Insight within a day of it being on the lot.

random Q, but how do you like the Apexi coilovers?
sUbLiMe96
6/20/2008 11:23:48 AM
They are ok... Very smooth and responsive...a Very High Quality product... But I was hoping for a stiffer ride though (personal preference, I prefer a VeryVery stiff ride.)

nice, coilovers are the next thing on my list of things i want to do as i want to start auto-xing. I dont know if i want to go all out and get Zeal coilovers or not as the ride would be insanely stiff, and they are about double the price of the Apexi''s
