Thanks for your post. I may need to add a car in the next 6 months and I hadn’t considered those. As you pointed out, used hybrids might be good to look at. Only one Avalon around here - close to $30k. A couple of C-Maxes. I’ll keep my eyes open.
On the C-Max check the build date and if it’s an early 2013 you’d need to be certain that all the warranty work has been done. Later in the model year would likely be a better bet, and there’s not that huge of a cost hit looking at 2014 model year.
