(Beatrice de Gea / LAT)
Despite previous studies to the contrary, a new study reported in today's LATimes says hybrid cars save their owners significant amounts of money over five years. Here's my favorite part of the article:
There is no better example, the study says, than Toyota Motor Corp.'s Prius. The study concludes that a Prius owner over five years will save $13,408 over a similar-size sedan that is not a hybrid.
This makes sense to me, especially when you factor in resale value. I saw a 2005 Prius with 39,000 miles advertised in the local paper this weekend for $20,000, which is pretty much the price of a brand new 2006 Prius if you got the $3,150 tax credit.
