Will an older Prius save you money

Absolutely! But surely this is too good to be true!
Let’s crank the numbers.
Your current vehicle is a medium size family vehicle about 2000 to 2500 cc and you travel on average 60 Kms a day. With petrol at $2.20 a litre you could be spending on average $100 a week on petrol.

If you purchase a Generation 1 Prius at say $5000, You can save about $50 a week on your petrol bill. This amounts to $200 a month or $2600 a year.

From our example on Finance Cost a $5000 loan over 36 months would cost you $174 a month. If you save yourself $200 a week as calculated above you will be able to pay the finance cost from fuel savings alone.

Factor in the savings in vehicle maintenance and the savings are even greater.

This example is to highlight the fact that you can own a low cost Prius without and get the benefits of fuel economy without compromising size, space and power. This vehicle is a mid size saloon. You have a full boot space and good leg room in the back sea


This icon of the hybrid revolution will keep on keeping on. If you have a Power Jockey installed HEV battery repair cost $300 only and it comes with 3 months warranty.
