> [@Fry](#): > > Yeah the resale could go either way. At worst it’ll be $11.4k + tax = $12,400. I should be able to get that for it and at least not have to pay mileage fees at the end. Maybe I could make a couple hundo if it’s still really shiny. Maybe I lose a couple hundo if I beat it. Maybe I like having a gas saver run around and keep it. :shrug: > > The Volt idea makes no sense. 3000+99_36=6564 for the Civic. $1000+268_36=$10648. $4k premium over 3 years? For what? Save money on gas so I can watch my electric utility bill go up? Even if the electricity was free and you never put gas in it, you’d likely still be better off with the civic. EDIT: actually I am wrong about that. You end up doing around $1550 better if electric is free and no gas is put in the Volt. That’s not the case though. According to EPA comparison of the 2 cars, your annual cost to run the Volt is $1000 and the civic is $1850. With that factored in, you’d save 2550 over 3 years on the Volt vs the Civic. So you’re still around 1500 in the hole for the Volt once you subtract 2550 from the 4000 addition cost of the car. Civic is cheaper, but not by THAT much.

Yah I wasn’t saying the Volt was cheaper, but for the ~2000 difference over 3 years I think I’d enjoy driving it more. They say it only costs about $1 a day for recharging it. Either way nice economy car ~! ---
