Proposed Budget: $8k-$15k New or Used: Used preferred. Looking for best value. Body Style: 4 door, generally anything except a van truck or suv How will you be using the car?: Mostly short driving to and from work, the store, etc. Don't really consider my needs particularly exceptional or abnormal. What aspects are most important to you? Value. Fuel economy + reliability. Also however much safety is reasonable. I currently have a 5-speed 2001 Saturn SL2 (90k miles) with an EPA rating of 25/36mpg city/highway and a four star safety rating that I got at $5k and has given me something like 50k miles but it's starting to fall apart. What I'd really like is a $10-12k car that'll give me >100k miles of minimal maintenance with good mpg and some modern perks such as side curtain airbags. I've already put in about as much for repairs as my car is worth in the past year, but nothing out there is calling to me as a great deal. Should I just keep my car up until used hybrids become more affordable? Deus Rex Machina fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Aug 11, 2012 |

leica posted:You can easily afford a used Prius in that price range. Is a Prius really a good value? It seems like the initial cost is pretty significant vs. what they save you. What age/mileage should I be looking for for a good value?
