bought mine used for 8k and its great. a recent headache that came up if you plan on buying one, please make sure the previous owner wasn't a retard and didnt use the wrong refrigerant for the ac. mine did and the ac compressor needs to be replaced along with a few things, hybrid ac components are a bitch and need specific nd-11 with no additives to work. gotta spend 2k to get cold air to blow. other then that the battery packs are cheap to replace and multiple third parties exist to sell and install them from your own home for a very good price compared to when they were new. These cars are very easy to live with . You can also ask /o/ as a handful of us own these cars as daily drivers

A hybrid isn't bad but if the battery starts to die you're fucked, unless you can do all the maintenance yourself youll still be out thousands to replace it.

Lol 10k? Try 1k, if you’re not a window licker and you can follow simple instructions one Saturday afternoon to install yourself. Also, the battery can be absolutely pozzed, and the ICE will keep you going no problem. Your efficiency will just drop down to 30 mpg. I’ve got a friend whose Prius battery shat the bed at 150k miles and he’s still going at 310k.

lol I bought a 2009 Buick Lucerne with 59k miles, one previous owner, back in like 2016 for $9500 and it was from a stealership. I didn't realize how fucked prices got. I think I'm gonna wait a few years to buy another vehicle

That seems really expensive for one that old. Do the math yourself to figure out how much you expect to save in fuel over the lifetime of the car compared to a less expensive car with a conventional gas engine.

It’s yet another market hike perpetuated by sensationalized greedy boomer retards who unsurprisingly got covid psyopped into charging way over mark for all commodities.
Now that the supposed “chip shortage” is basically a meme now, and new cars are basically back to normal production levels, the used car market is bound for a steep correction.

>>50962610
it's just a waste of money unless you have a car that needs it. higher octane means it's a little harder to ignite. if you put 87 octane in a car that needs premium, the fuel will start to ignite outside of the combustion chamber, and you'll hear a knocking sound. but as long as your car can ignite the premium gas, it's fine.
now, when you put diesel in a normal car or vice versa, you're fucked.

[Anonymous No.50970686]

This is the only sane car buying strat:

-Talk to your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Say that you're looking to buy a car and that you only have *insert cash budget here*
-Among them, somebody will have an old car they don't drive or will know somebody with an old car and direct you to them

That's how I've always bought my cars. Most expensive car I ever bought was $800.
