If she’s only driving 20 miles a day now, she could have bought a Nissan Versa and probably looking at 10 years before the premium she paid for her hybrid pays off - even longer if she financed.
Nope. The Altima is over 8 years old now. She paid cash for it new, got it for about $26,000, and it’s loaded with features the Versa (a cheaper car) doesn’t have. She has well over 100,000 miles on it, and has traveled back and forth between California, Kansas, Texas and Iowa, with no problems at all. Batteries still going strong. She plans to pass it on to her daughter (now 5 years old). I told her that’s a stretch, but who knows maybe she will. After all, I’m still driving a 1966 car.
Oops, her Altima Hybrid is 10 years old, not 8, she bought a 2007 model in 2007.
