<p>74.237.249.3: grammer</p> <hr /> <div>At the risk of heresy, here are good reasons to wait on buying a [[Hybrid Cars|hybrid]] vehicle: <br /> <br /> '''1. [[Hybrid Cars|Hybrids]] cost more'''; usually about $3,000 or more. Whether you make this difference up depends; on how much you drive, how long you keep the vehicle, what the resale value is when you sell it, and the amount of tax incentives. In some cases it's hard to justify the purchase on strictly economic terms. Good news: [[Hybrid Cars|Hybrid]] resale values have been superb. Omninerd has developed an incredibly detailed look at the economics of [[Hybrid Cars|hybrid]] ownership. [http://www.omninerd.com/2005/11/11/articles/41] <br /> <br /> '''2. [[Hybrid Cars|Hybrid]] vehicle choices are limited''', but expanding dramatically every year; waiting may be better. Larger and less expensive [[Hybrid Cars|hybrid cars]], trucks, and SUVs will become available.<br /> <br /> '''3. [[Hybrid Cars|Hybrids]] on the market today rely on [[gasoline]]''', for which there is no synthetic substitute (unlike diesel engines, which can run on bio-diesel). <br /> <br /> 4. Car battery disposal, when the car eventually is retired.<br /> <br /> 5. Hybrid cars help the enviornment and decrease global warming. If you hate the enviornment or are very cold, you may not want to buy a hybrid. <br /> <br /> See also '''[[Top Reasons to Buy a Hybrid Car]]'''.</div>
