Just put a deposit on a Honda Insight

I have been looking for a frugal replacement for the gluttonous PT cruiser. I put a deposit on a 2010 Insight with 30K miles on it tonight. It is dark metallic red.

the Mrs. two priorities was red color and it had to be easy to get in and out of and be an automatic. the Insight has nearly as much room in it as the PT and drives much nicer. It corners flatly and rides as well or better than the PT.

It needs tires. I plan to put Michelins on it and some Mooneyes spun aluminum discs on the wheels.
