How to own a hybrid car
It made me
ecstatic
 "Traded our Buick minivan for a 2-year-old Prius, and I no longer worry about the price of a gallon of gas!"
How I did it: When gas hit $3.50/gallon our minivan was costing us about $150 a month. My husband got tired of it and went online looking to see if we could get a hybrid. It took about a week and the financial process was tough...but we got it - just because my husband decided to go out on a limb and try. |

It made me
Satisfied
How I did it: I started off at www.fueleconomy.gov to compare the different models available at that time. I was not interested in a Prius, strictly for the way it looked, which narrowed things down a little. Of the cars left over, the Altima was the one that won me over. A quick test drive later and I was sold. I've been deliriously happy with it ever since. Read how I did it…
It made me
happy
How I did it: I compared different hybrid vehicles and test drove the Insight and Prius. I was able to make a good deal because of the recession and Toyota clearing out the 2009 models for the 2010 models. I bought the car to replace the one that I had totaled :( Read how I did it…
It made me 
How I did it: Had a friend that came to California and bought a new Prius. She had to go back to London right away and we got a nice deal. She even had purchased the 4 year maintenance plan, so as of now we don't pay for regular maintenance. Just make an appointment at the dealer and pick it up with a coupon when done.

Car problems
7 months ago
I may be looking into this sooner than I’d wanted.
My current car is at 110,000 miles and the back axle is thisclose to giving out.
I only have about a grand saved, and need to buy more time. Grrr.
happygolovely is making progress. :)
Not any time soon :(

This is definitely one of the goals at the bottom of my list since I just got a car earlier this year and because I definitely cannot afford a hybrid right now. However, I am CERTAIN that my next car will be a hybrid or some other sort of little-to-no-gas vehicle. Planning to drive out my Malibu a handful of years at which point I’ll probably be better able to afford a hybrid… and at which point they’ll probably have lots more, cheaper, and better looking hybrids. Looking forward to it. :) Until then I’m thankful I don’t have to do much driving (5 miles from work) and that my car gets decent gas mileage. :) Oh, and that gas prices are still falling. Whew!
My very own Prius
14 months ago
I just bought my very first car, a 2008 Prius. I knew I wanted a hybrid, so I researched and found that the Prius was the best hybrid there is. Because they’re in such high demand, I had to wait about a week after I bought mine to actually receive it. I didn’t get it quite the way I wanted [red, with dark interior] buuuut I love it nonetheless. It’s fast, quiet, and roomy. I can’t wait to take it out on a road trip!
i'll count it as a check.

i’ll check it off my list; it isn’t offically a hybrid; like i said in my earlier post, i’m only sixteen. i don’t have that kind of money.
but i just bought my first car, and it’s got some killer mileage. :) so, i’ll check it off.

being that i’m only 16 and paying for half my car myself, i’ve come to the conclusion that i won’t be getting a hybrid anytime soon. =/ but i will, once i’m on my own/have money, (and by that time in the future, i’m sure all cars will be hybrid or completely dependent of gas) i will definitley get one. but in the mean time, i’ll make the goal of getting a car that has good mileage to help lessen my global impact.

Green Driving

I’ve always been interested in going green, but now it is not an interest it’s a necessity. Right now I drive a Mazda Miata, it gets good mileage and everything but it is old. My next car will be a Toyota Prius or Highlander.

Hybrids are cool and costly. My current car is all but fuel efficient and I feel it every time I have to fill up. I am really trying to wait to purchase another car though until I pay this one off (3 more years) or until I save 50% for down payment. I get so tempted with all the ads every week though.

My plan is to pay off the car I am driving now and then save some money for a down payment. Hopefully, in two years I’ll be able to afford a hybrid car on my teachers salary.
