I can't understand these Hybrid car owners.  I know they think that they are very smart and intelligent (mooching of taxpayers money), and they are the savior of "Mother Earth".    I can't wait to see in a few years how much their used car will worth.  The dealers will take in consideration at least three things.

1. Battery life expectancy and replacement value ( $$$$ deduction).

2. Huge rebate at the purchase time ($$$$  deduction)

3. Maintenance and/or unpopularity issue ($$$$ deduction).

I can see some horrified faces already!

I read somewhere that the batteries are only good for so many miles which IIRC worked out to be average driving of 3-4 years.The replacement cost of the batteries are about $25K so more than 1/2 the price of the car.I doubt seriously any of them will get any trade in if the battery at a cost of $25K isn’t replaced before taking it in.

I can't wait to see in a few years how much their used car will worth.Don't worry-by the time trade-in time comes I'm sure the government will have figured out some way for taxpayers to subsidize their loss too.
