We recently moved into an existing home with a finished basement. Unfortunately, the prior owner did not insulate the basement walls before he hung the drywall, in addition he used metal studs. The basement is cold and we would like to add insulation to the walls. Any ideas out there? Thanks

Depends on how the cieling is finished. If you can access the top of the wall behind the drywall without exposing anything below the finished ceiling, then you can blow in insulation in the cavities between the studs, provided they used 2x4's, it they nailed strapping on the wall and hung the drywall off that, then there isnt any easy way to insulate.
