The battery life of an Hybrid is estimated to be 100,000 miles. With
a projected cost of $5,000 to replace the batteries you have removed
this vehicle form the used vehicle market making them even less
desirable to acquire in the first place. When the salesman asks you
if you are trading something in and you say a Hybrid and he says we
don't take those in trade what are you going to do?


Beats me. I don't care. I'd never buy that type of vehicle, regardless
of how it was powered.


Moron, ANY Hybrid is going to have the same situation on trade-in, not
just SUVs. Now answer the ****ing question, dickwash.


The numbers will be different for trade-ins on those vehicles. They're
different for a Peterbilt than for a Chevy sedan. If a competent dealer
finds out you never changed the timing belt on a trade-in that needed it,
the numbers will be different. It's a non-issue.

I can change a timing belt for a couple of hundred dollars vs. several
thousands of dollars for a hybrid battery pack.

Do you mean doing the timing belt job yourself?

Are we now going to argue about the cost of changing timimg belts now?

I have to go to work and I don't like to beat a man when he is down. Can we
pick this up when I get home say around 7:30 PM today?

Why not? The way you add things to this discussion, we may as well throw in
something about common diseases of parakeets.

You keep harping about what people shoud and should not do but, when push
comes to shove you run away screaming that people don't play by your rules.
