I know financially this isnt the best idea but still. I want a hybrid accord instead of gas powered and I can get one based on trade in value.

If the gas savings will make it worthwhile, go for it.
Our primary car nowdays is a hybrid, and it's about 60% more efficient than our old car (an old manual, so already quite efficient). --- Hello there! I am a signature. I'm kinda surprised you're even reading me, to be honest. Most people wouldn't bother. You're better than that though. Thank you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I drive a Corolla and it does great on gas and I'm gonna drive it until it dies. No need to upgrade unless you have no choice, IMO. Unless you really like the new car.

I hate the color honestly. Its a white 2023 accord, 2nd lowest trim. If I upgrade it would be to a red one, 2nd highest trim which is hybrid. Same year. I estimate it would cost me 7-8k financing/out of pocket do the deal including documentation and registration and all that. Harpie posted... pls don'tGas is getting more expensive lol. And I can get double mileage on the hybrid version. in the dealership lot now honestly. --- Switch FC: SW-3917-4425-6106 PSN: PiKappaPhi769 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Use AI to run the math on how long it'll take to offset your sell losses, and purchase+ tax + APR interest %, and how far you drive each year, and how much gas is. I guarantee it'll be about 7 years to break even. The regular Accord is a gas sipper. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I estimate it would cost me 7-8k financing/out of pocket do the deal including documentation and registration and all that.No cars Hybrid version gets anywhere near 2x the fuel economy of the gasser version. Without looking it up, I'd say the recent 1.5L Accords average ~32 Long term average MPG. And the Hybrids get ~40 long term average MPG. Which, for most people that drive 10,000 miles a year, will take 7 years to offset a couple thousand dollars in the vehicle cost difference. Factor in the moving parts in the Hybrid and batteries that eventually start giving out. It takes some people a decade to break even, getting a Prius instead of a Corolla. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The gas savings wont be realized for nearly a decade, most likely. Youll keep the hybrid that long? And after someone asked whats wrong with your car, the first thing you said was that you didnt like the color That is a poor reason to upgrade a vehicle. Pay it off first and then upgrade to hybrid/EV imo. Or set the thought aside and wait a month. If in a month you still feel the same, then clearly you think $8,000 is worth it for the aesthetic and better gas mileage --- CE'S ANONYMOUS CONFESSIONARY https://forms.gle/nJcr1NG9WSrBmXNY9 ...

Cars are my weaknessHey man, one a year isn't too bad. I've had probably close to 40 cars by now and I've been driving for just under 16 years. But OP, if you just want a new car, nothing wrong with that at all. Go with whatever you want for whatever reason you want, as long as it won't put you in a difficult spot. --- Signature ...

yeah, whatever you think you might be saving in gas money you're just going to lose by trading in a 2023. it already lost half its value in the last year

I've thought about this, too. Currently driving a 2020 Civic. Shifting in it is aggravating, thanks to the rev hang, clutch delay valve, and somewhat sluggish throttle response. Also, the brake pedal is way above the gas pedal, so any chance of heel-toe downshifting is gone. Was thinking that if the newer SI models mostly fixed these issues, I would consider trading up. But that's money that I don't feel like spending. ... Copied to Clipboard!
