I need to know the annual cost of a hybrid car?

I know the 1st year I will spend like ~$25,000, minus about 2k for tax credit or whatever, but I don%26#039;t care about that. I need to know the cost of ownership for the next years. I only run 3,000 miles a year. I am wondering how much everything other than gas will cost me per year? Do hybrids require more or less maintenance than regular vehicles?

Edmunds.com will give you the cost of ownership on specific vehicles over a five year period. I assume this is under normal usage though, not for 3000 miles. Still you should check it out to see what the differences are. Just make sure that the hybrid you intend to purchase still comes with the tax credit because I believe Toyota%26#039;s no longer do.

More maintenance. It requires a more skilled mechanic, a factory one to work on one without electrocution. Regardless of miles driven, the batteries go bad after a few years.

There would be no advantage for you if you were only driving a few miles each year. You would not save any money and you would spend much more.

If you are concerned about the environment, as you should be, take the savings by going with the conventional vehicle vs. the hybrid and contribute to a research charity that is looking to improve our methods of transportation.
