But it also says the battery is expected to last the lifetime of the car.
there are some slightly used hybrids on sale in the local market... very attractive propositions, assuming one's calculations are correct...
i wonder, is there something wrong with these cars, or are the owners selling them for other reasons that we should not be worried about?
