As appealing as hybrids can be, I wonder what the battery disposal issues will be in twenty years. More immediately, a local EMS captain (DeKalb Cty, GA) sid that they lack the tools and training to extricate people from wrecks in which high voltage powertrains are present.<br> <br> As you correctly point out, replacing like for like is the sanest approach although replacing one used car with another means allowing $2000 or so for the deferred maintenance of the last owner. Better the devil you know.
