[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1367584, member: 7488"] You forgot to account for 1) the tax credit he would get on the new hybrid, and 2) the actual selling cost will be less than MSRP (you can usually estimate about 85% of MSRP, though this varies based on available rebates and financing offers). But I am with you on the whole, I would rather buy a few years old vehicle and save the money on the vehicle rather than on the gas. The only person I knew who had a Ford Hybrid had a VERY early Escape as a company car, and to him it was junk - it was in the shop quite frequently for powertrain issues. But this is second-hand knowledge and I am hesitant to offer this to you as my own opinion. [/QUOTE]
